Whenever I adjust the volume w/ my IPod classic’s click wheel, the audio glitches, i.e. it cuts in and out as though I were messing with the headphone jack. What is causing this, and how best can I fix it.

Chris, if the audio stays proper after you turn it up or down, I would start by replacing the click wheel first. If it does not I would suggest a new audio jack/hold switch cable. Both parts are inexpensive and you could safe yourself some trouble and do both at the same time. there is always a chance that it is the audio IC but less likely if the error stops after volume adjustment. Use the guides from here to work on it. Hope this helps, good luck.
