Switch Alpha 12 won't access internet unless plugged in.

I bought a Switch about 2 months ago. It worked fine for half a month. Suddenly it won't access the internet unless I have it plugged in. I tried altering power settings and anything I could find on the internet. It also makes a static noise through my earbuds and mic when it is charging. Earbuds work fine on my phone.

Hi,

Regarding the static noise :

The static you hear is likely a ground issue though. More often than not, if you're using 3.5mm (1/8"), the problem is the cable itself. A lot of the times, 3 poles doesn't work, or 4 poles doesn't work, the difference inside the plug could literally be 1mm, and that could be what's causing it. Try using 3 pole 3.5mm and then a 4 pole 3.5mm cable.

Regarding internet connectivity issue:

It could be the main reason for the corrupted drivers. Kindly uninstall the "Qualcomm Atheros" driver for wifi from the device manager. Restart you computer and see.

Thanks And regards,
