Pause music when you unplug your headphones
Pull the headphones out and the music can carry on from the speaker. This routine pauses it and turns the volume right down at the same moment.

When wired or USB-C headphones come out, Rulomi pauses what's playing and turns the media volume down, so nothing blares from the speaker. To set it up, install Rulomi from Google Play, type the sentence below, check the routine it shows you, and enable it.

What Rulomi builds
- WHEN
- Headphones are unplugged
- THEN
- Pause what's playing
- Set the media volume to 0%
You see this on the review screen before you enable it, and nothing runs until you do.
Access it asks for
- Nothing for the actions themselves.
Rulomi asks for access per routine, when a routine needs it, not all at once when you install.

Good to know
- This is for wired and USB-C headphones, and USB audio such as a dock or DAC. For Bluetooth headphones, use a Bluetooth trigger instead.
- Pause goes to whichever app is playing, as a headphone button would.
- Many music apps pause by themselves when headphones come out. The routine makes sure, whatever is playing.
