Bring back the headphone jack: Why USB-C audio still doesn't work
- eadmund 8y agoNeither USB-C nor Bluetooth is really an acceptable alternative to straighforward analogue audio. Heck, we're seeing that even keyboards were in some ways better under PS/2 than they are with USB: latency was much better.
- gargravarr 8y agoPS/2 is actually the better interface since it's interrupt-based. USB is polling-based, hence the latency issue. A lot of non-Apple laptops still use it for their internal keyboards and mice due to interrupts using less power. As with the headsets, it boils down to the right tool for the job, for sure. I refuse to buy a phone without a 3.5mm jack because I know that it'll work with any possible headphone or speaker combination I could possibly encounter.
