Adding a new mode to audio playback and microphone recording to allow system to system communication
This would generate 2 separate channels. One for the headphone jack and the other for the systems speaker. This would allow local systems to play together without the need of wireless functionality or the USB-C port.
No idea if anyone has tested this yet, as I have yet to receive mine for testing.
Let me know what you think!
I am now researching the "TRRS headphone jack" and it seems there is really no way to simply switch what is receiving what. Unless there was something custom made to swap audio to mic through the cable for both systems. That would be kinda absurd.

Update: Here is what could be the solution.
There would have to be a brand new type of Audio Cable just for this to work.

After extensive research, I have confirmed that this will be possible on Playdate!
Heres hoping I can figure out a way to have both the headphone jack and the system speaker to work together.
This helped me a lot! <3
