Obviously this whole setup requires an internet connection, but I'm rarely without one so it works great for me. Anyone else do something similar?
Possibly this bug that's been floating around for the past 6 years: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/172339479
The static pattern seems odd to me, but I assume would make sense if the root cause was identified:
* Plug headphones into laptop: no static.
* Open youtube tab: Static.
* Mute audio: Static.
* Tab away from youtube: Static stops after ~10s.
* Tab back to youtube and start video: Static resumes.
* Adjust volume: No effect on static. (At normal listening volumes, static isn't audible over music audio.)
I'll note that there are various reports of something almost identical being triggered by a ChromeOS software update ~6 years ago across multiple brands of Chromebooks, e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/fx9y19/samsung_ch...
