[Help] Is there a way to stop the "BIP" sound when speaker are plugged ?
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 ?
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
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?

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.)

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.
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/WiFi handshakes. (Channel searching specifically can tickle quite a few harmonic frequencies.)
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
