So I bought these RS120W for my grand parents. It should connect to the tv and play the sound but it only works when I connect it to the headphones jack from the samsung smart tv. But then the speakers of the tv don't work. Its a pretty old samsung smart tv. My question is how can I fix that audio comes out the tv and out the headphones. Is it possible that it works if I use a converter and convert it into a optical wire?
-thanks

Hi! You might wanna try Multi Output audio and see if that will make things work the way you want it to.
To access Multi-output Audio menu path for previous Samsung TV models:
- 2017 - 2019 Model TVs: Settings > General > Accessibility > Multi-output Audio
- 2016 Model TVs: Settings > System > Accessibility > Multi-output Audio
- 2015 Model TVs: Menu > Sound > Speaker Settings > Bluetooth Headphones
If you TV is older than 2015 then unfortuantely I don't know a solution for your problem.
okay thanks unfortuantely I don't live close with my grand parents so I can't really do that now. Let me try to find the tv
but could optical wire work?
I dont have a lot of info on older TVs. Usually with newer TVs its just a bluetooth connection and a setting in accessibility and that's it.
These are the only pictures I have
That doesn't really tell me anything sadly
Hello @ruby aurora I really don't think you can connect the headphones.
How so? Those are specially made for tv's
Hello there I think you have to USB to connect the headphones to the tv.
They don't have usb
if the tv has headphone/line out with 3.5mm, you can hook the headphones up directly to the headphones with the included adapters. if you need to use opical, you need to buy an extra adapter for that
That doesn't work it does work when I wire it into the headphonejack but than tv doesn't produce sound. If I use a optical will the tv also give sound at the same time as the headphones?
no? at least i dont remember my samsung tv having both audio outputs when optical is involved
is there no sound output settings for like tv speaker and external speaker?
No
Sysbret have you found any?
No
