It's just the big knob that seems a bit silly. I'm sure there will be some use for it, pretty much always. So, even if at some point I no longer have a use for it for the switch. The OL DAC is the first standalone DAC I'm ever gonna own. Yet, I have friends with the exact same problem and usually when I ask them "How are you talking to me right now on discord and playing switch games with me?" Then their awswer is something like "What switch sound?" or "One earplug left ear, one earplug right ear".
It really seems to me looking for such a device as if I'm the only person in the world that needs it. There is a smaller version that would have plenty of inputs for me, but it does not have the dedicated amp output. The big knob is still a bit more expensive than I'd like. Something worth mentioning, because things like this either "just work" on Linux or they "just really don't". It's also plug and play on Fedora31 (so Linux in general, at the very least more recent Linux). Just the second input part needs to work out. I can't really tell much difference to using the integrated dac. So far I can't really tell you much, other than when playing sound from the bigknob as a "dac" to the jotunheim. Somebody out there made a list of DACs that work with the switch and that one is on the list. The DAC selection was pretty much dictated by this reddit thread ( ). And later I'll get a JDS Labs OL DAC to plug into the switch (so no HDMI audio splitter) and a cable to actually use it (not sure when). Because the PC monitor for the PC side of things uses Display Port and I don´t really want to route that threw anything. It should not require an onscreen display for controls. It should have one USB input for the PC and some RCA or possibly HDMI inputs for the sound of the switch. I don´t really want some gigantic mixer board if I can help it.
I still would like to be able to use the headphone amp portion of the Jotunheim. I´m looking for some kind of DAC or AV Receiver that I can use as a DAC only and takes at least two inputs that (can) be both active at the same time (but don´t have to be). It might just be that the HDMI sound splitter of my monitor is cr4p. Especially, on the Linux side of things (Pulse Audio loopback devices are not great, plus you are forced to use pulse). However, the results are somewhat sub-par.
Most of the time you can turn off background music in games.Ĭurrently, I achieve this by using the headphone out of my Monitor and pluggin that into a Line in of a PCIe Soundcard I also have. But I still want to hear the other Sound effects. But sometimes it´s for playing songs instead of the ingame audio. I would like to be able to listen to both of them simultaniously at times. Essentially, I currently have a PC with a Shiit Audio Jotunheim.
