Sudden USB Static issue

Tonight, while I was out running some errands, I was listening to music using a USB thumbdrive. I got out to drop off some mail, and now music playing on the thumbdrive sounds like it's coming through an AM radio. All the other formats i also use are fine and sound normal (XM, HD, FM). I thought it could be the thumbdrive, so I switched to another one I had with me, and that one has the same issue. Has anyone else had this happen, and if so, were you able to fix it?

I have a 2014 CX-5 GT, with the updated software to fix the old USB issues the car had.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
 
Had it happen to me, I sprayed some electronic contact cleaner in the USB port, solved my problem.
 
Thanks for the quick reply, I will have to try that when I get home on Monday. For now, it seems to have fixed it self, and everything is working as expected.
 
Be sure to only use a contact cleaner that's safe for plastics. Not all of them are.
