    Just get an USB-C soundcard, don’t be silly. There’s countless ways the surveillance state is becoming worse but audio jacks are not one of them. 3.5mm jacks are very error prone and mainstream people didn’t really use them anymore once wireless in ears got good battery life.

        You know USB C sound cards are just a small thing you put into the USB C slot and it provides a 3.5mm slot? It’s just an adaptor with some logic in it. You’d need to carry around something weighing a few grams and being smaller than a cubic centimeter or so.
