Or any problem at all for that matter?

I keep reading about people getting oled decks with hissing/crackling/white noise sound when they plug their headphones, some even have problems on their speakers

This is all making me stressed as a wait for mine to arrive, (my deck is stuck in label created) and now i read about all these problems…

    Got my LE on Friday, absolutely flawless.

    No dead pixels, no crackling speakers, no problems with the headphone jack.

      Have you tested the headphone jack with IEMs with the GPU under load? I ask because I’m not at all convinced that it isn’t a design flaw. I’d be very, very surprised if an OLED deck exists without this issue.

        Ok, so I did a lot more testing with this. I think I can hear what you are talking about. On mine it is very faint, but there is a bit of line noise. I don’t think its related to the GPU load though…at least on mine it appears to be related to the brightness of the screen. Lots of whites and brights on the screen and I hear it faintly, but if I’m just in like…the Steamdeck settings screen with blacks and dark greys it disappears completely. I wonder if the OLED power draw is causing interference.

          Must admit I didn’t test with different brightness levels - you absolutely might be onto something here.

          Will say with mine I don’t get any crackling or pops either, just a fairly persistent electrical noise.

          I’m experiencing the same as you. I hear this very faint noise that goes away when I go to the settings menu.
