It sounds like there’s a little motorcycle riding around in my earbuds. The frequency changes with the brightness of the screen. I play 100% with headphones so I have to return it, but if they all (or a significant percentage) of OLED units have this problem then I’ll just return it and not get another one right now.

Edit: it’s good to hear that not everyone has this problem. I’d be curious for those people who aren’t having the problem to test with a bright white screen. Mine gets worse as the brightness of the screen increases.

Edit 2: I used a MillSO 1/4” to 3.5mm adapter and my Sennheiser HD558s and I can’t hear the buzzing like I can with my Apple earbuds.

    I always use Bluetooth but I plugged in my wired headphones today to check and it sounded normal to me.

    My 512gb OLED Deck has it. Not really noticeable if there’s a lot going on in the game, but completely ruins any quiet moment.

    got my OLED last week, and just plugged in my earphone to test for any audio issue, fortunately it is working fine.

    Mine is fine. As always people are more likely to post about problems so it’s skewed on here

    Nope, Limited edition OLED; no sound issues with the jack. Tested it while playing Cold Steel 4 using bose noise canceling headphones

    I have the LE model and have had no issues with wired audio. I mostly use Bluetooth though. But I checked for this very issue.

    Try different headphones, seems like lower impedance headphones (e.g. most earphones) pick up the interference.

    I tried with 16 ohm earbuds and 28 ohm headset, it was very noticeable with the earbuds but I literally can’t hear it at all with the headset.

    No one seems to be noticing my comments. But mine is fine. It’s not that I can’t hear it as some people suggested or there’s something wrong with my hearing. I used audacity to record my decks audio jack to rule myself out and had a completely flat line

    Anyone that has moderately sensitive IEMs will have this issue. Those that claim not to have the issue either have higher resistance headphones, or do not have good hearing in the frequency of the interference.

    My suggestion is to get the Apple usbc to 3.5 dongle. Cheap and actually a very accurate dac. Just need to go into the bios and change the usb configuration from DRD to xihc(or something like that) so you can plug in and it will start working without having to reboot the system.

    I don’t really bother to check since I don’t have wired headphones anymore.
