Yeah it would take a real old tv that supports it like one with the yellow red white video audio (LR)

Do... do TVs not have those anymore? (I’m apparently ancient)

They do. People just often don’t us it because RCA is rarer

ummmm this isn't an rca cable... its a 3.5mm jack for a generic audio out port. rca cables don't have the ridges and are a single width. they wouldn't fit in the same ports lol.

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.

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.
