I don't use this thing for much video playback besides when i usb-c out to the tv. It didn't make any extra noise through the speakers, and if it does, I couldn't tell.
Basically, I'm not sure if I should be concerned. I didn't think anything of it because it was happening out of the box. But after seeing this thread, I might be a little more worried. I love this thing, I'm super new to linux and don't want it to shit out on me... Couldn't afford a different computer any time soon.
Thanks in advance!
I do not have a USB-C dock myself but I'd assume that using that you will not hear any whine from the pinebook because the video and sound signals are transmitted to the dock and from there to your TV in digital format. It is then the TV that translates that into analog audio.
Long story short the audio device of the pinebook is not involved in this scenario and should remain shut off and therefore not whine.
