GAH! I just discovered this issue as I haven't used my headphones in a while. My wife and I both have iPhone 4's and I just tried to listen to music yesterday through my headphones and discovered it. I have been playing musing fine through the docking cable, and it still does work fine through the docking cable after I upgraded to 5.1 to try and fix the issue. Unfortunately the headphone port just sounds like trash. I tried it on my wifes phone to verify it was an ios 5 thing and sure enough hers was doing the same thing. I have tried the Apple headphones, and my Bose headphones with the same result. It just sounds flat. I have pretty much ruled everything out except the ios. Anyone found a fix for this yet?

clean out the pocket fuzz from the earphone jack.

shine a light down the jack and you should see a crisp white indicator. if not, dirt.

Ok guys, I know this is a very old thread, but I JUST found a solution to this problem and in case anyone out there is like me and still uses their ipod3, I figured I might as well post it.

Guys this fixed the problem for me, first of all the problem is in the iTune library vs the iPhone, or better yet in the way the new iPhone softaware works with the iTune music library.

1) Open itune and click on music
2) Highlight all your songs
3) Open the information window (command i) and select option
4) In volume adjustment the volume bar will be set on "none" unless you have all your songs
set at a different level, in any case move the bar anywhere "plus" or "minus", close the window allow iTune to set all your songs to the new setting, repeat the process and bring it the bar back to "none",
again close the window, allow iTune to set all our songs to none this might take a while depending
on how many songs you have
5) Last plug your iPhone in your computer and when it shows up in iTune click the iPhone then select music and finally sync, all your songs on your iPhone will be sync to the iTune music library new setting and the problem will be permanently gone....

This doesn't work. It's a myth that has been around for a long time.
