Some other issues I’ve had that I never had with the old Deck:
-
Severe static when connecting earbuds (specifically IEM’s) to the 3.5mm headphone jack.
-
Dock is unable to negotiate a charging rate with the deck, causing the light to blink on and off and charging to constantly be interrupted.
-
Certain USB devices just don’t work. A thumb drive would not connect unless I connect it via a 3rd party adapter. My USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adapter also does not work (which would help to mitigate #1). This has apparently been solved by switching from USB DRD mode to XHCI as I found on a Steam thread about this issue.
And I also have a sticky B button. Honestly I’m kinda bummed… so many issues on a third revision device (kinda first revision in a lot of ways, but still). I’m wondering about returning my LE deck for a 512GB model to hopefully get a device without all of these problems (or at least spend less to have a device that has these issues haha). If anyone has solutions to these issues, let me know!!
Before you do that, try other headphones with your Steam Deck. Based on the comments here, I think the problem is mostly with IEM’s, and maybe this commenter is using headphones?
