Hey, I use a lot my steam deck as a PC, but everytime there is a "new" sound (I start a video, a game, i change some setting etc) there is a sound coming from the speaker. (Like when you plug a cable jack with the speaker on). Is there a way to fix this ?

Is the sound is coming from the built-in speaker on the deck when you start a game, or from external speakers when you plug them in?

  1. If this happens when you start a game, and it is with the internal speakers, that points to a passive component failure, like a capacitor or inductor that is usually on a sound line. (Edit: Also, a loose wire could make an LC circuit very noisy, temporarily.)

  2. If this happens when you plug external speakers in, there is not much you can do besides get a high quality speaker jack that will only reduce the problem, not solve it. To completely eliminate noise from speaker jacks would require some kind of electronic soft-switching device.

Can you post steps to replicate the problem?

It seems that English is not your first language, so I am just asking for a little more clarification. Your descriptions conflict a little bit, but that is ok! :)

Or, type a full description in your language and I can use a translator. Whatever is easy.

I made a small video to show it. (Video is upside down for some reason) : NB : Wetransfer Link.

To describe a bit more, you can see the setup in this picture.

I didn't had any problem with the speaker when there were plugged in my PC.

You can say the parasite sound is playing when there were no sound for a "long" time.

The video will not load for me for some reason.

Got baited by the website, since I don't have any account, I made a wetransfer link. : https://we.tl/t-7Bd2PnUvG9
