Auto mute when unplugging headphones

While commuting to work today I was listening to music and when I arrived at work and unplugged my wired headphones connected to the 3.5mm headphone jack the music continued to play on the Mudita Kompakt through the speakers.

Therefore I think it would be great if the device could automatically mute any media when unplugging headphones from the 3.5mm headphone jack (or BT headphones get disconnected) with a future software update.

What kind of headphones are u using?
Mine stops playing (doesn’t mute, but stops) when I remove the 3.5mm jack or my bt earbuds go inside the case.

My device is Global variant
bt earphones: Nothing
aux earphones: cheap no-brand from AE

Oh, that’s interesting. I’m using the beyerdynamics Beat Byrd 3.5mm wired headphones and this morning when I unplugged them the music continued to play on my Mudita Kompakt.

Forgot to ask the important question: What music app?

I don’t use the default music player, I use Auxio and I use AnytimePlayer (for podcasts).

I don’t use any sideloaded apps, only the built-in ones.

Ok that explains it then, it’s the issue of the APP not of the MuditaOS.

The default music player is unusable for my standards, that’s why I’m using Auxio.

Fair enough, but unusable? Come on. I use the Music app just fine. Yes it needs some basic additional features like search or automatically stopping playback when headphones are disconnected, but other than that it works fine.

There’s so much I love about this phone, but music player is unusable to me.

  • No playlists
  • No artist/album separation
  • No search

If they just called it Audio Player it’s ok, it does it’s job: it plays audio.

If I had any say on the product, I wouldn’t allow the phone to be shipped with this app. There’s no excuse for the lack of those features that mp3 players 25 years ago had.

@felensis Great News :slight_smile: I told our team about your suggestion, and they informed me that this is already being worked on & will be available in the upcoming update this week.

Just to catch up on this since I’ve updated to Mudita OS K 1.2.0 today: Unfortunately the app still doesn’t automatically stop playing media once I disconnect my wired headphones from the 3.5mm headphone jack.

I don’t know if 1.2 resolved this, but the standard music player app had the same issue with Bluetooth playback. When I was playing music via Bluetooth on the car stereo and then turned off the car, it would continue over phone speakers.

I now use third party music players and podcast players, none of which have this issue. Like seriously I don’t get why Mudita had to build the MP3 player from scratch.

Maybe this discussion answers your question:

To me the only proper justification is they don’t want to use open source apps with GPL license, because if you distribute those you’re required to release the code. That’s why the managing director is asking for MIT license apps.

But all good open source music players that I found are GPL license lol
So because of this people have to wait until Early 2026 to get music search, image waiting for that :smiley:

Thank you! I also noticed my camera isn’t working now. It throws a systemui error. Someone else noticed this too after the update

have you tried this:
Go to System → Developer options → Privacy and toggle the “Camera access” radio button.
Hope this helps!
