The problem
I hear myself in my headphones and speakers while streaming via Decky Streamer. It's annoying, distracting, and creates echo. The mic should work for viewers, but I shouldn't hear my own voice.
Steps to reproduce
- Connect JBL Tune 510BT Bluetooth headphones.
- In Desktop Mode, switch to HSP/HFP profile to enable the headset mic.
- Start streaming through the plugin.
- Speak into the mic – I hear myself.
What I've already tried (nothing worked)
- Adjusted the mic slider in the
... menu – if set to 0, viewers can't hear me; if raised, monitoring comes back.
- Checked sound settings in Desktop Mode and pavucontrol – there's no "listen to this device" option to disable.
- Tried using the Steam Deck's built-in mic instead of the headset – still hear myself through the speakers.
- Rebooted the Deck – no change.
What I suspect
Either it's a SteamOS quirk, the plugin forces monitoring on, or it's hardware sidetone in the headphones (but then why does it happen with the built‑in mic too?).
My setup
- Steam Deck (OLED)
- Latest stable SteamOS
- Latest Decky Streamer from GitHub
- JBL Tune 510BT headphones
What I need
A clear instruction on how to completely disable self-monitoring, so viewers hear me but I don't hear myself. If it's a plugin bug – fix it; if it's a setting – tell me where.
Thanks.
