Steam Deck Oled nad Motorola Moto Buds Loop - cracking and popping sounds

Tech Support

Hello everyone!

I absolutely love my Deck and for some time wanted to use it with some headphones. Tried many different TWS-es and even wired ones, but I prefer lack of cable.

Many normal in-ear TWS sets irritate my ears. I also use TWSes with my phone.

So decided to try this new open-ear headphones such as Moto Buds Loop. I picked them up on a huge deal (only around 50$) and with phone they are very comfortable and easy to use, sound is also quite nice.

But for some reason when they are connected with the Deck in game im getting weird popping and cracking sounds every few seconds. Its super annoying, and with volume up, they can almost hurt my ears.

What is even worse is that I have like crazy cheap, aliexpress buds (they sound REALY BAD) and they dont have such a problem.

What can I do about this? Is there some settings or driver update for bluetooth that can fix this?
