What is the device you want, but that does not exist? - eviltoast

I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

    Something that plugs into my PC where I can plug my headphones into it, and it creates two virtual audio devices that I can fade between by turning a knob.

    This way I can independently adjust the volume of my game and YouTube, like being able to turn one or the other down or off independently of each other without having to tab out or adjust in-game settings.

        Yoooo I think this is exactly what I was talking about! I guess I just wasn’t searching the right words, or maybe Google sucks more than I thought nowadays lol

        You rock!

          Thanks!

          Glad I could help. I’ve also seen some DIY projects, but not sure how hard that would be.

      This exists but the one I have seen relies on installing software on your windows PC, idk if it works without Linux and/or devices other than their own

        I used to have a pair of headphones that did this a long time ago but I’ve never seen anything like it since. Idek what headphones they were…

        Idk why nobody has made something similar that just works with any headphones with a 9mm jack :(

          The one I mentioned is from steelseries, but there should be sound mixers available which work via software connection or maybe you can try to get it made with a raspi or another sbc, either yourself or by asking a friend who would be interested in making that for you.

        I don’t think it would be possible without software running on the pc to differentiate between the different applications.
