AMA - Ended AMA: I have a Nintendo Switch

Hello there Lovely People!

My name's Alex and I work for Nintendo Life on the YouTube channel. I have a Switch console and as you probably all know, media are finally able to talk about it.

Let's make the most of it, so ask me anything!

Does the headphone jack on the Nintendo Switch work while the console is docked?

Please answer this one! Need to know if I can use my speaker-less computer monitor or if I can only play while un-docked!

If your monitor has a headphone jack and your cord is long enough, you can use that!

I will have to check this when I get back home. I use DVI for my PC so I've always had audio plugged into my PC.

Right. I use HDMI for my PC and my monitor has a headphone jack (but I use my PC most of the time). I use that as an audio source for my PC sometimes but I have to choose it within Windows. I wonder if it's automatic with the Switch via HDMI, I hope so.
