It’s definitely the update and not the update causing all this as I’ve been a Steam Decker since August 2022 Q3!

I was listening to Firefox on my Steam Deck in Gaming Mode. The sound went really scratchy and garbled. So I went directly into sound and just switched it to External and back to speakers, and then no sound even came forth!! Hahaha… So here what i did after 72 hours of tinkering, lol…

The FIX!!

Goto Desktop!

Turn off all Pro Audio Devices in Desktop mode and ensure Speaker’s is Default. [Also Select Speakers if they are not already] Then, make sure Chromium in the Sound Device list is umuted.

Now go to the store on the desktop and have a trailer from a game play and ensure that it is unmuted on the video.

In the midst of it playing, change back to gaming mode. From Desktop.

This should fix your issue. Is it a long time fix? I don’t know.

Thank you Tuna! My goodness Steam Support was definitely giving me a run around!!

I told Kai that… Maybe they will tell folks that instead of what they were asking me to do and all.

Cheers n Peace ✌🏻

I may soon… Actually, I’m walking through with support right now, so I’ll be back with the fix. For sure, right when I get it.

Well, I was in gaming mode on Firefox. I noticed the speakers lagging in a sorts with audio, so I went to external to reset them and back, and now no sound.

I can only get sound through desktop mode, and that’s manually switching.

If there is a fix out there, let me know.

Lately, American Truck Simulator and BeamNG. Drive!
