Default Audio Issue with Bold When Connecting to Car Stereo

Please Login to Remove!

I've encountered a recent issue with my Bold. Though I can play audio through my headset, when I connect the device to my car stereo, it doesn't seem to recognize that the jack is active. The audio still comes through the speaker. I've had my Bold since December and have had no trouble until the last couple of weeks. I have an older car with no audio input jack but have a device that connects to the radio through the old cigarette lighter jack. I do have a normal cable for cars that I rent (I travel full time), but neither one works.

At first I thought it might be a hardware issue, but, if that's the case, why does it work with my BB-supplied ear plugs? I then deleted some recently loaded software (Battery Booster, WorldMate Live, Easy Standby, BBSmart Alarms Pro, etc.), thinking that there might be some sort of conflict, but to no avail.

I do have an old iPod Nano I can use, so it's not a showstopper, but I'd like to just use my BB for my simple audio requirements.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
