Which devices can I use with the Auto Switch feature?

The Auto Switch feature automatically switches the audio output source between your headphones and speaker without needing to operate your mobile device or speaker. When you use headphones, sound plays through the headphones, and when you stop using headphones, it switches to the speaker for seamless playback without interruption. (As of October 2024).

1. Pair the Auto Switch-compatible speaker with your smartphone using the installed Sony | Sound Connect app.
   Note: If the speaker is already paired, simply connect it to your smartphone.
2. Make sure the Bluetooth standby function is enabled in the Sony | Sound Connect app.
3. Turn off the speaker.
4. Connect the Auto Switch-compatible headphones to the Sony | Sound Connect app, then complete the Auto Switch set-up.
   Follow the on-screen instructions in the Sony | Sound Connect app to link with the LinkBuds Speaker.

1. Start playing music on your smartphone with the Sony | Sound Connect app installed and Auto Switch settings complete.
2. Switch the audio output source.
   If you turn off the headphones while music is playing through them, the audio output source for music playback will automatically switch to the speaker.
   If you put on the headphones while music is playing through the speaker, the audio output source for music playback will automatically switch to the headphones.
   Note: The process may vary depending on your headphones.
3. Adjust the volume on the headphones or speaker currently playing audio.

Hints:

• If the audio output source does not switch, move the speaker and the headphones closer together.
• If you don't want the audio output source to switch automatically, pause the playback on your smartphone first.
