I reverted to avcodec_decode_audio3 again and it shows as deprecated but I also get the frying pan noise.

It might help if you add more info, such as what kind of audio you're working with (which shows the problem), and if there's any kind of audio which does not show this effect.

If you decode aac, then you might get hit by the change to planar format, which happened November 16, 2012 in the ffmpeg sources (although the effect is usually not a 'frying pan noise').
