US patent publication 20260295416 discloses a minor (and mildly interesting) detail of the Switch 2 audio system.
A game is free to set different volumes for 1) built-in speakers, 2) HDMI output, and 3) audio output—headphone jack, Bluetooth audio, etc. For instance, the speaker volume can be set higher than the TV volume to compensate for the size difference. What’s more, the three volume settings are sent along with GameShare streams, so that they are still operative on the guest devices.
