Headphones and Bluetooth do not agree

[hans peter]

Previously, my TV (LG32LM6300PLA) worked so that when I turned Power on in my headphones, I got the message Pairing followed by Connected. At the same time I got a button on the screen named Connected (so far I remember)  and when I clicked OK on it with my remote control I got rthe sound in my headphones and it disappeard in the TV-set. When I shut off the power in my headphones the sound disappears in them and is back in the TV-set.

Remaining at Settings the soundshift works, i.e. when I turn on the power on the headphones I get sound in them and when I turn the power off it disappears in them and I have it back in the TV instead. But when I leave Settings for watching TV this setting  disappears.

What am I doing wrong ?

The answer to my question:

1) Press Gear on the remote control
2) Move to three dots  "All settings"
3) Press OK
4) Move to Sound
5) Press OK
6) Move to Sound out
7) Press OK
8)Turn on the power in the headphones
9) Move to Device selection
10) Press OK
11) Highlight the found headphone
12) Leave settings

Now, when you turn on the power in the headphones, the sound will be there, but not in the TV. If you turn off the power in the headphones, the sound is no longer there, but only in the TV.

I have a similar problem with my LG 27LQ600S-W. LG omitted a 3.5 headphone jack on this model and the TV speakers are really poor, I mean really, really poor. They sound like a tinney1960s transistor radio. I have a nice set of Phillips powered PC speakers that I used on the TV I replaced with the new LG. To work around the "no 3.5 jack" problem, I bought an optical to analog converter with a 3.5 jack. When powering the TV on, I have to go to settings>sound out opptical>select device>and then select the ID of the converter, confirming "yes".

Every time I power on the TV, I have to go through this tedious ritual. I can't make the choice "stick". Will a Bluetooth adaptor with a 3.5 jack maintain the choice when powering up the TV?

Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks

Hi Packard8!

In this tech world, it's mostly about trial and error. That's how I solved my problem. It sounds like your proposal with the bluetooth adapter could lead to success. I can't give you any other advice.

Thanks Hans Peter, I'll try the BT to 3.5 route. I'm disappointed that LG would not provide a 3.5 headphone jock on an expensive TV, and such inferior built in speakers. My LG 65" OLED set has excellent sound right out of the box. My old cheap Visio had one.
