Hi all, I hope that this is the proper place to post about this issue. I have searched Google exhaustively and have not found a satisfying answer.
Anyways, my headphone jack started to have the infamously bad problem of cutting audio output from the left channel whenever I had a pair of perfectly working headphones plugged in a few weeks ago. After an appointment at the Genius Bar, I decided that I would rather search for an alternative to spending a huge sum of money for a new iPod and keep on using the one I have now.
Fortunately, I found a dock adapter that has a headphone jack in it as an alternative to the iPod's. I would LOVE to use this as a long-term solution until I have saved up enough to buy a new iPod proper, but I hate that the iPod thinks that it is plugged into a stationary dock and removes its internal volume controls.
TL;DR is there any way to internally implement a means to retain the volume slider when I have my dock adapter plugged in, or will I have to shell out some more cash for an in-line volume adapter (if those things actually work as they should)?
I am using a 3rd gen iPod Touch running iOS 4.3.5
