Hmm, I feel like I wasn’t. Will give it a shot with the game paused.

Prior to the OLED, I had always been shutting down my LCD Deck between sessions. Starting with the OLED, while playing Hades (looks great on this new display) I decided to try the direct sleep route (with an active game session). However, I noticed I was getting audio crackles in game, after powering the device back on from sleep.

So, I’ve now just resigned to leaving the game, and sleeping the Deck from the home screen (this doesn’t appear to cause any audio bugs upon restoring).

Yes, it does.

If you don’t mind me asking, which region does your Deck have configured under Settings - Downloads?
