Is this normal? I’ve tried my old apple earpods and Meze 99 classics, I can hear the same hissing noise on both. Changing volume levels does not affect the noise levels. I’ve looked at other posts on the same topic but couldn’t find if this is normal or not.

I already have a dead subpixel that I was overlooking, maybe this in combination now warrants a RMA?

New LE OLED version, received a few days ago.

    Thanks for the reply!

    The issue isn’t there when using the USB port for audio and it also enables hi-res audio so I’ve decided to live with it. However, I think steam support could really use this info and suggest you send them this. I’m going to link this and other posts to them as well.

    Here’s a couple of other posts I mentioned:

    Hopefully it in fact is a software issue that can be ironed out. I don’t want to ask for replacement and play the device lottery for a perfect device. Fortunately, everything other than this and a dead subpixel works perfectly well on mine.
