so i primarily use my steamdeck in desktop mode and this morning i woke up and it had no audio with or without a headset plugged in, i went through some trouble shooting i found online that innevitably led me to factory reset my machine, which worked, but now whenever i have a game up alongside firefox all audio is crackly or if i have firefox up at the same time as discord sound from discord is crackly but from firefox is still fine, idk what to do to fix it, ive tried looking it up and find nothing

    Same here. I’ve gone back and forth in desktop mode and disabled everything except the built in speakers. I’ll have audio in desktop mode once I re select the speakers, but when I go back to gaming mode sound is gone again. If I then go back to desktop, again, it’s unselected speakers again. Same thing round and round.

    Bluetooth is off, I’ve never used anything except the built in speakers. Yadda yadda.

    I updated to 3.5.5 stable this morning and I’m pissed that I did.

        I switched to experimental and it didn’t fix it immediately, but I went to desktop and changed the sound settings (a whole mess on its own) went back to desktop and still had the problem. Then I went back to stable, back to desktop, and then it started working normally.

        Thank goodness steam makes it easier to switch versions and change settings. Not like meta effing my quest pro in the ass since march.
