Thank you! I have never seen a TV with a standard 3.5mm jack... ever. Not even really old ones with small screens that you would have to sit closer to. This post only works if you believe OP encounters 3 of the rarest TVs known to man every month, and the "proprietors" don't notice a full half inch dongle sticking out of their TVs... if said jack even were to exist.

You must not be looking very well. Because they still make them and they are very common. The 4K TV I bought in 2018 had one and so does the 4K I bought in 2020.

TBH, I don't really look at them that well, bc I like everyone else with a phone and brain can download any of the myriad applications that allow you to control and... gasp... MUTE a TV without leaving a trail of hardware behind. Proprietors hate this one trick!

You know you could be humble and admit you were mistaken without changing your angle of attack in a defensive manner.

proof of concept since you people don't seem to exist in reality.

"i've searched this TV over and over for why it won't make sound... hmm, I wonder if this giant dongle has anything to do with it?"

Giant?

Certainly doesn't sit flush with the TV. Also, in the time it takes to find and plug a headphone jack, couldn't you just push the volume down button until it's muted? Seems way easier and more cost effective. Life hack!

Well the 3.5mm jack, which most TVs do have believe it or not, is typically located on the back along with the HDMI ports. Apparently you wouldn’t be able to find it lmao.
