I will be checking it out today to see if it does it again watching to make sure I don't lift the coil. it was weird when I went to pin point and move the coil to the loudest point and hold it for a few seconds the sound would break up or cut out completely and I would have to try it again.
thanks

Mine did this today a few times. Never had this happen before.
I think it has to do with the headphone jack connection on the wireless module.
While it was doing it, I rotated the jack back and forth in the socket and ith cleared right up, and never came back.
I may lightly coat my phone jack plug with some dielectric grease. Just enough to lightly coat, and then wipe back off.
Should leave a light film to keep contacts from getting sketchy in the future.

My audio got intermittent earlier this year but not just on pinpointing. I had a broken wire in the headphone plug, put on a new plug and problem solved.

went out and hunted several different parks and did not have this problem again so I'm assuming I was lifting the coil while pin pointing that caused this to happen, I have been watching closely as to what I am doing and being more careful while pin pointing thanks everybody for your help at least I know it was operator error LOL. 
haven't found that elusive deep silver coin yet
but I know it finds silver and gold rings, 
I am still learning this great machine and my finds are getting better and better especially with trash and iron near I am pulling more targets out where there is other things mixed into the hole. yesterday I got a dime out of a hole that was directly under a large nail all my other machines would have nulled out but with this machine using combined ferrous coin it picks them out once again thanks everybody and happy hunting.

THANK YOU!!! I'll shortly know if this is it! I was having this same intermittent issue and it was driving me nuts. I run with Pinpoint in the Sizing mode and do not normally lift my coil when pinpointing. Tried a couple factory resets, which "seemed" to make it better (as well as adjusting audio settings, I was also fiddling with the headphones which probably was the actual fix). , but then it would come back an hour or 2 later. Some days it was okay, other days worse. Last time it happened, I decided to eliminated the WM-10 and plugged the headphones directly into the CTX and the instantly the problem disappeared. Was thinking it was an issue with the wireless module itself and now your post has me thinking it's the headphone connection.. I'll bet you I have tarnished connections from hunting during light showers, even though I'd have the module under my jacket, it probably had moisture wick down the headphone cable........
