Anyone else dealing with static white noise when using headphones plugged into the audio jack? I’ve used 3 different headphones and they all produce the same audible static noise. My friends Steam Deck OLED also has the same issue.

    No way this is software issue. It’s interference.I plugged in my headphones (Sony XM4s, Sennheiser HD 598) via jack and also plugged in the charger and could hear even increased noise (humming, very significant) while charger was plugged in.Note: Humming in Sennheiser HD598 was very low, i would even mark it as acceptable.

    So this has to do with different impedance of headphones (16 Ohm Sony vs 50 Ohm Sennheiser.)

    So I think the solution is either return the unit, or use usb-c dongle as external DAC. (or bluetooth low latency headphones if you have some)
