DS Audio - popping noise through headphone jack when off?
Posted: Sat Oct 28, 2023 10:07 pm
Hi, I just got my DS back in the mail, and I'm seeing some odd behavior. The audio is just fine when the system is on, but when the system is off and plugged into the PC, and I plug in a 3.5mm headphone jack, I get a rhythmic clicking/popping noise, about 2 clicks/pops per second. It will go continuously until I unplug the USB C cable. This happens whether or not the DS is fully charged or charging. The sound does not go through the DS speakers, only the 3.5mm output. I thought it might have been a bad cable so I switched it out, but the same issue happened on the spare too. Both cables were brand new and don't have problems with other devices that I can hear so far.
Is this normal/expected behavior? I used to have one of the older style DS capture cards with the Micro-B connector, I did not have such popping noises in that one when the system was off, but that one also didn't support USB charging so I'm not sure if that's the reason? Just concerned because if there is some sort of short I don't want it to damage the system long-term.
EDIT: Sample of the audio/video. You may need to download, Drive doesn't seem to like playing in browser for some reason: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ok4CxE ... sp=sharing
