Wait has this been a widespread issue? I’ve only noticed this a couple weeks now, but I thought it was because the cat dropped my deck from the table 😶
What’s going on actually?
Decky "Pause Games" plugin got rid of audio static I got resuming games from sleep

No idea but I’ve had it come and go since I’ve had my Steam Deck. I tried doing a fresh install to get rid of it but nothing worked so just dealt with it by exiting the game and relaunching it when it occurred.
I’ve used this plugin for several months and haven’t had the static audio issue from suspend happen ever since.

Yeah I’ve had the ‘crackly audio on resume’ bug occasionally for two years now, that said I haven’t had it for a while. I thought they’d fixed it, but maybe I’ve just been lucky!

I had it on some games a lot, but there was a steamos update that addressed this a while back and it mostly fixed the issue. Now if I get static, it usually goes away after a few seconds or after I sleep and wake again. It’s also much more rare to happen.

Good to know. It was a common problem with XCOM 2 for me.
Whenever possible I tried to get around this distorted audio noise after resuming from sleep by first opening a pause menu and then sending the deck to sleep. It seems to occur less the less audio channels are used by the game engine at the moment that you sent the deck to sleep.

I’ve heard of it fixing various sleep related audio bugs. Overall it’s a great plugin and I recommend it to everyone.
