@prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer idk I look at this and see a need for a better chair lmao

@icedquinn@blob.cat that sounds awful, I can't say I've had the same experience but to be fair I use ubuntu and only connect bluetooth to a computer pretty rarely and it's acase of

open bluetooth menu
click on headphones
all audio works fine (except for Ardour and honestly that's fine lol)

I just asked this to someone in a reply, but I wanna know more broadly:

Is a built in headphone jack something you want in a phone, and if so, why?

For me, I switched to off-board DACs long before headphone jacks went out of style, because the onboard DACs built into phones are usually pretty bad (with some exceptions ofc) , and if I didn't care about audio quality too much (for podcasts usually) I'd use bluetooth (which these days is exceptionally high quality anyway)

So yeah, if you like or miss your headphone jack, I'm curious as to why that is, no judgement of course :blobCatFriendly:

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo @steph@fedi.steph.tools nah that's valid, it really is a shame that there isn't variety in device configurations to suit different needs and use cases, rather than just a small collection of "flagship" phones that are all essentially identical and everyone else is imitating.

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo @steph@fedi.steph.tools Just out of curiosity, what advantages do you find a built in headphone jack offers beyond being able to use the USB-C port with headphones plugged in.

In my case, even if my phone had a headphone jack I wouldn't use it, because the DACs in even really cheap USB to 3.5mm UAJ adapters are way better than the WCD-9326 you've got in your Fairphone 3
