Or any problem at all for that matter?
I keep reading about people getting oled decks with hissing/crackling/white noise sound when they plug their headphones, some even have problems on their speakers
This is all making me stressed as a wait for mine to arrive, (my deck is stuck in label created) and now i read about all these problems…
All Steam OLED Decks are affected, it seems, as this is a design issue:
Valve has also begun responding to Support requests stating that service can be performed to fix the issue per reports in the above thread.
I have yet to receive a reply on my ticket confirming that service will be performed for me, but I just sent them an update inquiring about it.
Got my LE on Friday, absolutely flawless.
No dead pixels, no crackling speakers, no problems with the headphone jack.
Have you tested the headphone jack with IEMs with the GPU under load? I ask because I’m not at all convinced that it isn’t a design flaw. I’d be very, very surprised if an OLED deck exists without this issue.
Ok, so I did a lot more testing with this. I think I can hear what you are talking about. On mine it is very faint, but there is a bit of line noise. I don’t think its related to the GPU load though…at least on mine it appears to be related to the brightness of the screen. Lots of whites and brights on the screen and I hear it faintly, but if I’m just in like…the Steamdeck settings screen with blacks and dark greys it disappears completely. I wonder if the OLED power draw is causing interference.
Must admit I didn’t test with different brightness levels - you absolutely might be onto something here.
Will say with mine I don’t get any crackling or pops either, just a fairly persistent electrical noise.
I’m experiencing the same as you. I hear this very faint noise that goes away when I go to the settings menu.
Idk I feel like the speakers aren’t that loud compared to the LCD version and about half volume I can’t really hear anything
THIS.
I have the first gen 512gig and the new OLED Limited Edition side by side - when I compare them using Spotify the first gen Deck sounds WAY better.
Like, no question. The original Deck speakers are better on a level of magnitude. There’s absolutely no bass response on the OLED LE speakers, and they feel nearly 30-40% quieter.
Not sure if Valve can fix that in an update but it is pretty disappointing when playing a game with explosions or race car sounds.
