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.

    Yeah, it sounds almost like coil whine. I noticed the pitch changes depending on what you set the screen refresh rate to, as well as what’s shown on screen. Unclear if this means the noise is coming from the OLED panel itself, or indirectly from the CPU/GPU behaviour changing because of the new refresh rate.

      I have noticed that it gets better (to some extent when you manually change the gpu to 200). It perhaps does not bode well, because it may well then be interference from whatever the GPU is doing - you cannot fix that by just throttling the GPU. I guess the solution is bluetooth earphones, it is annoying given many of us have upgraded from the lcd.

        Yeah I also noticed the pitch changes depending on the display’s refresh rate. I guess that’s indirectly affecting GPU frequency maybe.

        I’m currently using a USB-C DAC, but it would be nice not to have to use a dongle every time (and it also stops me charging my deck without a USB hub)
