In linux using PulseAudio multiple peripherals can have sound output to it

Mint.
Yes I know...but it' s a laptop...the issue is one jack you see. Old laptop too...
Anyway that worked, using the splitter, solved the problem.

1469901 2020-07-01 00:22:00 I was just answering how to have sound from the laptops own speakers and headphones at the same time, as well as if you had bluetooth speakers or an hdmi sound device involved. The fact you use Mint is good. I would just suggest installing pavucontrol because mint's slimmed down sound control from when I last used mint was limited in what advance things you could do.

If it was just to create additional outputs then splitting would be the way, hopefully the quality is good that you won't encounter static or interference which is something I run into eventually with plugging and unplugging constantly.

We have used it.
There is no hdmi.
Or bluetooth.
Anyway for $5, it's solved.
