I have just bought an LG OLED TV to replace an older Panasonic. My setup uses a Samsung soundbar connected via HDMI ARC (it also has an optical input) and a pair of Sennheiser headphones for me as I am a bit hard of hearing, connected to the Panasonic via an audio out jack. System works well.
With the new LG OLED TV this setup no longer works as the LG will only allow an external soundbar connection (optical) to work alongside the internal speakers or wired headphones to work alongside internal speakers. There is no option for an optical connection and wired headphones to function at the same time.
Does anyone out there have any thoughts or ideas on how I could make my setup work again please? Happy to buy adaptor or whatever if necessary. Thanks.
