Outside of me purchasing a HDMI Audio splitter or just a small portable speaker with 3.5mm input, is there is a way I could allow for the console to use it's internal speakers whilst docked?

Would ReverseNX cause this to happen? if not is there an existing project that enables this?

Thanks, JDSP

Why though?

I rarely use my switch docked, but if I were to it would through my monitor which doesn't have speakers let alone HDMI in so I would either need to purchase an audio splitter or a portable speaker. Not fussed if I have to but if there is a homebrew software / config I can change that would allow me to use the internal speakers would rather that

Also yes I have a modded dock so the whole front is visible

Ah ok in that context it makes far more sense.

Perhaps an external speaker to the headphone jack would be the way to go.

You could get an HDMI Splitter that output sound to a sound source like a speaker if you want too, modern monitor has a speaker port, and in general when the switch is docked it output sound via HDMI port, you could use headphone Jack slot on the system but it just extra wire, it works that way also.

Have you checked if your monitor has a 3.5mm output? Most do these days. You could connect your existing speakers that you use for your computer through that, assuming they are only stereo. Alternatively, you can do what I used to do a lot, and connect the headphone out to the line in on your PC using a male-male 3.5mm cable, enabling "listen to this device" in the Windows sound settings.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
