Hi everyone,

I've just received my dingoo and immediately installed the dingoo local pack recommended in the troubleshooting and FAQ guide here on this forum. Everything is working really well, however, when i plug-in my headphones in the AV-out port, the internal speakers stay active. How do i disable them?

Thanks,

sure there is, it involves opening the dingoo and cutting the wires


(though it should work properly, only seen a couple of poeple have this problem)

putting a headphonejack right there where you should hold a device isn't really a wise decision.

but it's perfect for slipping the dingoo into your pocket as an mp3 player

think the plug detection is hardware, but no idea really, just my gut feeling

When you plug in your headphones to the actual headphone jack. How does dingux react to this? Does the hardware disable the internal speakers or does dingux disables it?

He disables automatically the speakers, I think it's a hardware detection because works in every program, emulator, OS, menu and most important, works even when a bug happens.


My personal solution to the matter was open the dingoo and insert a aluminium foil with a little of paper glue(you can use another kind of conductor to close the same circuit, but the aluminium foil is flexible and really easy to work) to close the circuit between these 2 connectors:



This solve everything, the speakers keep mute foverer and I can use the 2 headphone input normally, if you do want the speakers again, just open the dingoo and remove the piece of aluminium.

does there happen to be a non hardware solution for this now?

Maybe with alsa(opendingoo), but not OSS

Solved. In opendingoo the internal speaker can be disabled with
amixer set Speaker off

and reenabled with
amixer set Speaker on

Thanks for all the replies btw.
