I have read a few comments here about sound bars, but did not see much that is fairly new. We just bought an LG 75qned85t TV and would like to add an external sound bar. The reviews we have read so far are pretty discouraging until you get up over $500 or so. Are there any less expensive ones that will improve the sound significantly? It is a bit disappointing to spend this much on a TV and have sub-par sound. TIA. john

i just started using a new LG 43UR7550 (cheapest model from them).......1st time using a LG as well as a Smart TV too.......and so far having a hard time adjusting the picture and sound (never had such problems with previous TVs)😒
1) sound is worse than i thought since the speakers are down-firing (my previous TV had front-firing speakers)...........it has the AI Sound Tuning - so after it had tuned the sound - do i set the Sound Mode to ''AI'' or should i use ''Custom Settings'' to use the equalizer ??😬
2) the TV has many different settings like Noise Reduction, TruMotion, etc.......so how to calibrate for best picture since i read that people say it's best to turn them all off ?😬
3) i can turn off the screen when watching free-to-air broadcast channels.........but can i turn off the screen if i'm using Youtube app on the TV..........?..........what if i use a HDMI cable from my PC to the TV - can i turn off the screen ?🤒
many thanks in advance😃

I'm hard of hearing, and even with hearing aids I have to turn the volume so high that it deafens everyone else.
It would make my life easier if I could listen on headphones while everyone else listens to the speaker.

One of the annoying aspects of my experience with my model #55UQ7570PUJ LG TV is the short semi-musical sound clip that the TV plays when it’s turned on and off. My golden retriever is often napping and he doesn’t appreciate hearing it. I poked around in the menus and didn’t see a way to turn it off. Any ideas?

On LG OLEDs. You go on and disable SIMPLINK. Fine. But everytime you turn on your HDMI device it enables itself back again. This happens because they have disables two key features that were present in previous OSs, as you can see clearly here
link hidden, please login to view (they even put screencaps of the menus where you see the missing options in the 23) These functions are Auto Power Sync and Auto Device Detection.
Man updates are supposed to add functionalities not the other way around. It's very annoying to turn on your TV and have your AVR turn on without you wanting to.
Anyone found a solution for this problem?

Question
Nullen
I recently purhased an LG 43” Smart TV (Model 43LJ550M). I’m trying to figure out a way to do optical audio out to 3.5 mm, so that I can use my wired headphones to listen to my TV in my tiny studio apartment in NY without disturbing my neighbors.
I tried a DAC (Digital Audio Converter) that was capable of converting 5.1 digital to 2.0 analogue with a mini jack female and RCA females that also had what I thought was a volume control, but apparently was merely a line leveler for the RCAs.
I first set the TV’s audio to standard “Optical Out” (unfortunately this model did not have a PCM option) and tried an RCA male to 3.5 female cord (headphone plugged into the 3.5) to connect through the RCAs, but the levels were way too low—even with the line level knob on the DAC all the way up—and the TV remote’s volume control did nothing. So next I tried plugging directly into the mini jack port on the DAC and the sound level was ok (about medium, I’d say), but again, TV remote’s volume control didn’t work, so I couldn’t increase (or decrease) the volume.
Evidently the only way to get the TV remote’s volume control to work is to use the LG Sound Sync (Optical) audio out function and have an LG Sound Sync compatible device, but I can’t find a DAC that specifies such compatibility and everything on the net regarding Sound Sync is just all about pairing bluetooth wireless, which I do not want (latency).
I’m trying to save money, otherwise I’d drop a couple hundred on a Sennheiser RF setup.
So, I either need some sort of DAC with a volume amplifier or an LG Sound Sync compatible DAC so that the remote’s volume control will work. Headphones with volume amps would be great too, of course, but so far the only ones I’ve found are even more expensive than the Senn RF.
One would think that it would be a simple matter and/or that LG would be aware of the issue and have a list of compatible products to solve it, but if so, I can’t find it.
Please help. Thanks.
