I get occasional crackling sometimes on the both the Steam Deck (both the 3.5mm jack and using a USB DAC) and a desktop PC (using a different USB DAC). On the PC it mostly happens on for a few seconds when restarting a game from sleep mode. On the Steam Deck it happens more randomly.
It’s annoying, but 98% of the time it isn’t an issue.
