I occasionally have to try again because I didn't push it in firmly enough. However, that isn't the problem. I did find out that the problem doesn't exist with the fmradio system. I compared them back to back last night, and there was no noise with the radio. I don't know how the hardware is routed - if the fmradio has its own separate audio system then it points to a hardware issue, but if it goes through exactly the same audio system as the media player then it points to a software bug.
