Hey, I use a lot my steam deck as a PC, but everytime there is a “new” sound (I start a video, a game, i change some setting etc) there is a sound coming from the speaker. (Like when you plug a cable jack with the speaker on). Is there a way to fix this ?

    I made a small video to show it. (Video is upside down for some reason) : NB : Wetransfer Link.

    To describe a bit more, you can see the setup in this picture.

    I didn’t had any problem with the speaker when there were plugged in my PC.

    You can say the parasite sound is playing when there were no sound for a “long” time.

      Cool. The video is still getting processed, and I won’t be able to view it until the morning. (It’s 3AM my time, so sleep time for me.)

      Just looking at the picture though, I am going to speculate for fun: The audio cable is poorly shielded and is also very close to small, but relatively powerful, transmitting antennas. I suspect you might be hearing the Bluetooth/WiFi handshakes. (Channel searching specifically can tickle quite a few harmonic frequencies.)
