I did not know this. Might have to give it a try.
ok so I just tried it. it does work but it is kinda temperamental. and doesn't work flawlessly.
the signal keeps getting interrupted and janky as bluetooth can kinda be odd when it comes to having more than one device connected to it at one time.
especially audio. so yes it technically works, but its not going to be super usable.
i am not able to use bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth controller at the same time with the steam deck.
the sound just constantly stutters. its been that way since I got the deck. so its been years now.
no I'm not going to do a full reset when everything works already. lol. ive been living with it and its fine.
the phone thing is neat but is a gimmick I can live without, to be honest. and looking at a reply or two, I'm not the only one who had jankyness trying it.
but thank you <3
No way, that's awesome!
I paired both my phone and earbuds to the deck and the phone's audio was super choppy. It behaved better when in the deck's options menus but it was still bad. 🤔
exact same experience. it doesn't work well, unfortunately.
And it’s a Linux thing, so you can do it with your desktop too!
Interesting! I didn't know you can mix the phone and the Steam Deck audio! I'll have to try that myself too.
Thank you for answering my question. I was wondering if the Bluetooth latency is noticeable but seems fine from what most people are saying.
I was wondering if people that did use headphones did 2.4 wireless vs Bluetooth but it sounds like both should work okay.
I wish I knew this months ago! This knowledge needs to be spread around more.
Also, if your phone doesn't show up on the deck, make sure to enable "show all devices"
You can what?
Thank you for this. I'm doing this. This is awesome.
Woah what? How??
when you pair your phone to the steamdeck, the deck reports as a speaker to your phone.
Wow!! It works, thank you! On ios I had to connect from the (LCD) steam deck, but it did work after that.
