Disable Headphone detection via software

[basementmedia2]

Hi,

I have the following problem:
I extended the earphone jack with a cable to a large stereo jack, i.e., a plug is inserted into the small earphone jack and soldered to a large jack via a cable. Reason: I have integrated the ESP32 audio kit into the housing of a small MIDI keyboard and can only access the earphone connection via the extended jack socket.

Now I have the problem that the ESP32 thinks that headphones are plugged in even when no headphones are plugged into the large jack, i.e., the headphone detection no longer works.

However, since I also want to be able to use the connected speakers, the question is:

Is it possible to disable headphone detection via software and control whether the sound should come out of

1. headphones
2. speakers
3. both

?

I don't understand your question: there is no automatic Headphone Detection (unless you call processActions() in the loop)!
In this case you can deactivate the default actions in the config!

Hi again,

thanks to your hint on the default actions i figured out, that there is a kit.addHeadphoneDetectionAction(); i can use to add the headphone detection. But as i want to be able to toggle headphone detection i wonder how you can remove the headphone detection once it has been added. Is there something like kit.removeHeadphoneDetectionAction(); or a workaround?

At the moment i work with a flag "use_headphoneDetection". To toggle between on and off i set the flag to true or false, then restart the ESP, then read out the flag and if set to true, add the Headphont Detection Action. But it would be smarter to not always have to make a restart :-)

Thank you for further support ;-)

Why don't you just consult the class documentation ?
There you should find that each action can be enabled and disabled
