Provided are an amplifier and a switch configured as a multiplexor. A system and method is disclosed for selecting between two electronic signals, one of high quality, such as music audio, and the other of low quality, such as telephone call audio, in a smart phone, tablet or other device. In one embodiment, when the low quality signal is to be used this is accomplished by disabling the amplifier output to disconnect the high quality audio signal from the output port, rather than by means of a switch between the amplifier and the output port as in the prior art. This eliminates degradation of the signal due to the switch when the high quality signal is to be used. The amplifier typically has an associated feedback resistor network, and this may also be disconnected by means of a switch when the low quality signal is to be used, thus preventing distortion of the low quality signal due to the feedback network being a parallel load to the output port.
