[Help] Is there a way to stop the "BIP" sound when speaker are plugged ? - Lemmy.world

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 ?

I believe you can turn UI sounds off from the sound menu in settings. There are also some decky plugins that let you change the sound files the deck uses, it may make it possible to replace or remove the sound you’re talking about.

It’s not a UI sounds, it’s a static sound, same as if you plug speaker when on.

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?

Can you post steps to replicate the problem?

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

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.

Cool. The video is still getting processed, and I won’t be able to view it until the morning. (It’s 3AM my time, so sleep time for me.)

Just looking at the picture though, I am going to speculate for fun: The audio cable is poorly shielded and is also very close to small, but relatively powerful, transmitting antennas. I suspect you might be hearing the Bluetooth check-in and handshake.
