Using a dongle makes it impossible to charge the phone or connect it to any other device while using audio, which I do all the time. I also frequently interchange my wired earbuds between my phone and laptop, and don't want to be bothered with an extra loose dongle when I disconnect the earbuds.
Sorry, this isn't a solved problem at all, apart from the solution of only buying phones that have audio jacks.
- filoleg 2mo ago> dongle makes it impossible to charge the phone or connect it to any other device while using audio I feel like you missed the part where the parent comment said "[...] and there's even passthrough options for when you need to charge".
- SoftTalker 2mo agoI have a passthrough dongle so I can charge my iPhone in the car and use an aux audio patch cable, and it's quite a large thing, certainly not unobtrusive but if you're charging maybe that doesn't really matter.

- Gormo 2mo agoBut why would I bother with a dongle to compensate for a problem I can just avoid in the first place by not buying a phone without an audio jack?
