Mine has a loud buzzing noise with both my earbuds. 1TB non-LE OLED.

Bluetooth is nice, but sometimes I need the low latency of wired audio.

Not sure if it’s the megathread you’re referring to, but I’ve been collecting a list here. (I should probably make it its post.)

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)

It’s not just you with this issue. I’ve created a list of the posts about this problem so far: see https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1840cmo/oled_le_anyone_else_have_headphone_jack_hum/kasdql6/

It’s not just you. I’m experiencing the same issue on my OLED (which didn’t happen on my LCD deck). Here’s a list of posts I’ve found:

Same here. There’s been a few threads on this issue (search this subreddit for “static” or “buzzing” and stuff like that). I’ve opened a support ticket.

I also took some recordings comparing my LCD vs OLED: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jG6oAPcnJeOT0txAfdMGpBRdZMCVLUlQ?usp=sharing

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.

Wow the case is so straight in the after photo you’d never know it got bent. Credit to framework for making it so repair friendly, but you also did an awesome job!
