multi output audio
Posted: Sun May 07, 2017 11:08 am
I have a significant hearing disability. For many years I have used a signal from the 3.5 mm audio jack to a (Vivanco) transmitter box and had perfect sound through wireless headphones whilst the rest of the family listened to the TV speakers.
We moved home in January 2017, leaving the existing Samsung TV on the wall and purchasing a Samsung 49KU6400 from John Lewis. This does not have a 3.5 mm audio jack, but I was assured that Bluetooth headphones could be used. John Lewis suggested that I try a pair and if they were not satisfactory they could be returned and the cost refunded. Yes, they worked, but not with the TV speakers. Only one audio output is allowable with a choice of TV speakers or Bluetooth or Optical.
There is an option in: Settings -> Accessibility ->Multi output audio which supposedly allows TV speakers and Bluetooth to be used at the same time at different volumes, but this option is disabled.
Is it possible to enable this option?
Another disappointment is that whilst both satellite and terrestrial signals can be tuned, there is no easy way to switch from one to the other.
Otherwise this TV is excellent.
