Question

Posted

I have a hearing loss and would like to listen to the TV through my Bluetooth headset while at the same time others in the room listen normally via sound bar.   We have a Samsung 2.1 sound bar/sub that is controlled through the LG TV via HDMI.   I also have a BT transmitter that has an optical audio-in that is paired with my BT headset, but the TV only lets me use one output method at a time.  I would like to find a way to use both HDMI-out and optical audio-out at the same time.   If the sound bar had an audio-out port on it, I would use that - but it does not.   The TV model is an LG 55lb7200.

      I'm not getting any audio from the apps via the HDMI via ARC connection to my receiver.  This occurred two weeks ago and was unable to resolve it, but ironically there was new firmware released that same day for my B6 (3/31/17) and this fixed the issue.  However, now I again can't get it working after a TV reset and tinkering with the audio settings again.  I tried to load the firmware again, but it appears this is not possible to forceable load the same firmware.

      Debuting at CES 2026, LG’s Modular LG Sound Suite With Dolby Atmos
      FlexConnect Makes Home Audio Simple and Flexible

      SEOUL, Dec. 18, 2025 — At CES® 2026, LG Electronics (LG) is transforming home entertainment with LG Sound Suite, a home audio system that gives consumers unprecedented flexibility. At its core is the H7 soundbar – the world’s first with Dolby Atmos® FlexConnectTM – delivering immersive Dolby Atmos sound that adapts to a room’s layout without complicated setup.
      LG Sound Suite works seamlessly with LG’s premium TVs, allowing users to pair any of its wireless components – including the M7 and M5 surround speakers, and the W7 subwoofer – with or without the H7 soundbar for 27 possible configurations. This flexibility means consumers can create the perfect setup for their space, whether starting small or building a full 13.1.7-channel home theater. And when the H7 soundbar serves as the lead device, Dolby Atmos FlexConnect works with any TV via HDMI, giving consumers the freedom to meet their entertainment needs. LG is also bringing Dolby Atmos FlexConnect to its 2026 premium TV lineup and select 2025 models* through a future software update, unlocking even more ways to enjoy Dolby Atmos.
      Dolby Atmos FlexConnect delivers the simplest and most flexible way to bring immersive Dolby Atmos sound to your favorite big screen. Enjoy astonishing audio that makes every explosion more intense, every song more life-like, every game day more electrifying and every moment more memorable. Setup has never been easier – it’s flexible and intelligently tuned for your personal listening environment.
      Audio is reclaiming its place in the living room as streaming has replaced physical media. Leading platforms now deliver movies, shows, and sports in Dolby Atmos and other advanced formats, making cinematic sound widely accessible. This shift has revived home theater, with consumers seeking immersive audio to match the stunning TV visuals. LG Sound Suite answers this demand with wireless convenience, simplicity and performance, bringing true surround sound back to the heart of the home. With Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, LG Sound Suite offers seamless pairing for streaming and device integration, making setup as simple as enjoying the sound.
      In this regard, LG adds its own layer of innovation to elevate the experience. Sound Follow leverages ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to adjust the listening sweet spot based on the user’s location. When combined with Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, this ensures personalized immersion – so any seat feels like the best seat. Additionally, Room Calibration Pro analyzes acoustic characteristics and applies AI processing to refine the sound for a balanced, room-filling audio experience.
      Powering the H7 soundbar is LG’s most advanced processor, the α (Alpha) 11 AI Processor Gen 3 – the same chip that drives LG’s flagship OLED TVs. Bringing this proven technology to audio delivers added performance and intelligence. The processor uses deep learning and its Neural Processing Unit to create sound with remarkable precision. With AI Sound Pro+, stereo audio can be up-mixed into multi-channel surround sound, while AI-powered object separation ensures voices, music and sound effects are clear and balanced. The system also adapts audio based on content type for optimized sound across different genres.
      Every component in the LG Sound Suite features Peerless speaker units, a name synonymous with audio excellence for over a century and renowned for high-performance craftsmanship in premium speaker systems. By pairing the simplicity and flexibility of Dolby Atmos FlexConnect with the high-caliber acoustic performance of Peerless speakers, LG Sound Suite ushers in a new era of immersive Dolby Atmos sound.
      “Together with Dolby, we’ve made immersive audio flexible for every home, LG Sound Suite is a testament to our shared focus on audio innovation,” said Lee Jeong-seok, head of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company’s Audio Business Division. “LG Sound Suite combines Dolby Atmos FlexConnect with its wireless modular design and AI-driven tuning, so consumers can create the system they want and enjoy cinematic sound from any seat.”
      “Dolby and LG are unlocking a new level of audio flexibility for anyone who wants to enjoy better sound with Dolby Atmos,” said John Couling, Senior Vice President of Entertainment at Dolby Laboratories. “Whether your speakers sit on a shelf or are tucked into a corner, Dolby Atmos FlexConnect fits naturally into any home without the complexity of traditional systems. We’re excited for consumers to experience this new level of audio flexibility and performance.”
      LG Sound Suite will be on show during CES 2026 from January 6-9 at LG’s booth. To stay up to date with all of LG’s latest innovations and products for ultimate home entertainment experience, please visit the

      I have been using led strip in the back of the LG C4 tv, I lugged into the TV usb port. Usually the turn on when the TV turns on, and turn off when the TV is turned off. Starting today, the led strip stays on after the TV is turned off, meaning the USB port must be remaining active. I have checked and tried every setting I can see in the TV settings but nothing changes. How to make the usb ports turn off when the tv is turned off?

      With Active Matrix Technology and Dolby Vision, the 136 Inch LED Display Delivers
      True Cinematic Immersion and Stunning 4K Visuals

      SEOUL, Oct. 20, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) unveiled the LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED, its latest innovation in home cinema display that incorporates Active Matrix technology for ultra-precise control of every individual pixel. This next-generation model brings exceptional image clarity, contrast and depth, redefining the viewing experience with premium home entertainment.
      Available from October 21 in Korea, followed by key global markets including North America, the LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED represents LG’s premium MAGNIT lineup. With a 136-inch screen (approximately 3 meters wide and 1.7 meters tall), 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution and an extraordinary contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, it delivers unparalleled immersion and visual realism.
      By integrating Active Matrix technology, the new model’s self-emissive Micro LED display enables each pixel to generate its own light. Unlike conventional Passive Matrix systems that control pixels by rows and columns, LG’s Active Matrix approach provides individual pixel-level control for remarkably refined detail and ultra-high-definition picture quality.
      LG’s proprietary surface treatment technology deepens black levels and minimizes the impact of external lighting for superior color accuracy. Its precisely aligned modular design minimizes gaps between panels to create a seamless viewing surface, while the flicker-free screen provides a comfortable, strain-free viewing experience, even during long viewing sessions.
      The built-in speakers on each side deliver 4.2-channel surround sound with a total output of 100 watts. The display also supports enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) for lossless playback of high-quality audio, enabling users to enjoy rich, cinematic sound in the comfort of home.
      Powered by LG’s latest α9 AI Processor 6th Generation, the display intelligently analyzes the creator’s intent to optimize every scene. It reduces noise, sharpens clarity and recognizes faces, objects, text and backgrounds to deliver more natural, detailed and lifelike images. In addition, its 144Hz high refresh rate ensures smooth, blur-free motion, making it ideal for fast-paced gaming and dynamic sports content.
      Powered by LG’s proprietary smart TV platform, webOS, the display allows users to effortlessly enjoy LG Channels, LG’s free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service, as well as other OTT and gaming content. What’s more, by subscribing to LG Gallery+, users can enhance the aesthetic of their living spaces with an array of visual content, turning their homes into personalized exhibitions with famous paintings or game illustrations. The display also supports AirPlay 2 and Miracast, enabling convenient screen sharing with iOS and Android OS devices.
      The LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED features Dolby Vision to deliver stunning visuals with a dazzling array of colors, sharper contrast and richer details. It has also received Color Consistency Wide Viewing certification from TÜV Rheinland, underscoring its ability to deliver uniform color and wide viewing angles, even at ultra-large screen sizes.
      LG designed the MAGNIT Active Micro LED with both installation environments and user well-being in mind. The product has been certified for electromagnetic compatibility under the Federal Communications Commission regulations for residential environments, and has achieved Class 2 certification in the flammability assessment test conducted by the British Standards Institution, verifying its suitability for use in home and indoor applications.
      LG plans to advance this product into a fully scalable video wall solution, further strengthening its presence in the B2B market.
      “With its impressive size that spans an entire wall in lifelike colors and stunning high-definition detail, the new LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED transforms a home into a true theater, delivering an unmatched cinematic experience,” said Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company.
