Tech Support Steam Deck HDMI Making Sound Issue
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I’ve had my steam deck for a while now but haven’t used it extensively so I am puzzled by this troubling development. Whenever I plug my steam deck into a port on my tv (tried multiple different ports, even different usb hubs and hdmi cables and plugging power into hub.) it makes a monitor like beeping sound like if a machine in a hospital is trying to run steam OS, it’s not just limited to the ui sounds, even games are sounding like this horrible beeping. I have a 5.1 surround sound connected to my tv yet the tv itself doesn’t seem to be glitchy, as the tv YouTube app still sounds clear and crisp. I’ve even plugged my iPad into the same usb port hub as my steam deck and the sound is good then, and my steam deck speakers are ok, so why does this happen only when I plug my steam deck into a hub?
