Got my OLED LE yesterday and I’ve noticed with IEMs that I’m getting this steady static noise/feedback sound from the new deck. Did not have this issue on my original deck, but I’ve seen a lot of older posts discussing this kind of issue on the original deck after searching. So…just a heads up, test your audio jack. I am probably just going to use a USB C audio adapter, NO way I’m going through the RMA process for this.

    Wow. It’s a big-time dropped ball if Valve somehow gave this a pass as a noise floor, but it’s noticeable on consumer-grade IEMs. They should obviously know that this is what a large proportion of people would be using for 3.5mm audio on a portable video-game device, quite possibly the majority of people who use wired audio.

      Exactly. If they wanted to skimp on audio quality, they should not have kept a 3.5mm port. Not if it’s obviously this faulty and cheaply-made. No current device has any excuse to sound this bad, let alone an enthusiast-grade portable PC.
