gollark: My device was not doing audio output on the headphone jack. I had to muck around with ADB (as root because of course) and change some mysterious setting in a config file and it worked.
gollark: Also, I had an unfathomable Android issue and it turned out to actually be quite fathomable, so I'm happy?
gollark: I have no idea, I just saw its existence.
