Using headphones and TV speakers at same time

I have an LG OLED55C6P TV. Because of hearing difficulties, I generally use bluetooth headphones when watching the TV.  As far as I have been able to determine, there appears to be no way to use the headphones and also have the TV speakers working at the same time. This means that if I'm watching TV, no one else can watch and listen unless they have headphones.  Am I missing something?  Is there a way to have the headphones and TV speakers working at the same time?

On our TV, Settings | All Settings | Sound | Sound out, there is an option at the bottom of the list to select "Internal TV Speaker + Wired Headphones. This also lets us connect an external speaker and hear its audio in addition to the TV sound.

WebOS Software version 04.70.85.

I do not have this model of TV, but you may look for an option in accessibility submenu that allows multiple audio output. For example, newer Samsung TVs have an option that allows to use both internal speakers and Bluetooth headphones at the same time:

If you wish to use bluetooth headphones and the internal speakers then you need to do the following.

First pair the bluetooth headset to ensure the TV has it listed in its available devices

         Press and hold cog button on remote for 5 Sec

         Select Sound

          Select Sound Out

         Scroll down to Bluetooth and select the "Device list" on the right

         If not already searching press the search button

         Switch on your bluetooth headset in pairing mode.

         Select your device when it pops up. 

Go to the Sound configuration menue

Scroll down to  "Bluetooth Surroundsound + Internal TV Speakers"

Click on the device list on the right

Select your bluetooth headset.

Exit from the screen

I have Bose Bluetooth headphones which I have been able to connect wirelessly with my LG tv. My problem is with volume control. I can only adjust the volume using the the remote. The buttons on the headphones do nothing. The tv remote adjusts both the headphones and internal tv speakers simultaneously so that a comfortable level on the tv is too quiet and a louder volume on the headphones is too loud for the tv. Is there a way to adjust the volume on the two devices independently of one another?

I have set up two sets of headphones on my LG tv. Both are functional but not at the same time. Is it possible for two sets of wireless headphones to be used simultaneously?

Yes this can be achieved but you would need to purchase an external Bluetooth Adapter that supports this function. Amazon sell a few and they are reasonably inexpensive.

I have tried this, although possibly not in quite the same order. 

I select "Bluetooth + TV Speaker" in the sound output setting but as soon as I connect the headphones, the TV speaker goes off. 

The sound out setting changes to Bluetooth, rather than "Bluetooth + TV Speaker" as soon as I allow the headphones to connect to the TV.

What you said it's exactly what's happening to me. Did you ever find a solution? Thanks!

I own an LG CX (2021) and it is impossible to hear from earphones (wired or bluetooth) and HDMI ARC (the soundbar) at the same time.

I am appalled of this stupid limitation.
Apparently LG chose to use a checklist of predetermined output combinations instead of independent radio buttons.
My old Samsung TV was able to enable/disable any audio output independently.

Unfortunately the support folks are not over interested in reporting a suggestion to the developers.

I have the same issue.  On an older tv and once on the LG I had tv audio and bluetooth audio working simultaneously using a MEE audio Connect T1CMA headphone + transmitter w/optical audio input. Both audio output volumes could be adjusted independently via tv remote  and headphones.  A month later the bluetooth connection to the transmitter mysteriously began disconnecting for no apparent reason. Has never worked since.  I am very disappointed in this audio setup.

I have an LG45a16 OLED smart tv. I've discovered how to set the wired headphone and tv volume independently. Being of advanced years my wife watches with Tv speakers and I listen with wired headphones. The TV sound has a setting "wired headphones +tvspeakers", but you can't adjust the volume on the headphones independently. The trick is to select "wired headphones" only and adjust the volume using the remote to suit. Then go back to "wired headphones +tv speakers" and the headphones will now be at the volume you selected in "wired headphones" The TV speaker volume  can now be adjusted with the remote without affecting the headphones. Also muting the TV speakers doesn't affect the headphones, so I can now watch sport without upsetting my wife! Bit of a complex workaround, but it does the job.

  1. On the remote control, press the HOME button.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Under the TV category, select Sound → Headphone/Audio out → Audio out (Fixed).
  4. On the remote control, press the BACK button.
  5. Select Headphone speaker link.
  6. Select Speakers on.

      Bluetooth headphones won't connect
      By Fredrik Andersson
      Hi,
      I have a OLED77C34LA and a pair Bose QC32 II headphones and I have trouble connecting to the tv.
      First the headphones works good on my other three devices but the TV has trouble, when I manage to connect they work perfect but when I turn the off on on again the headphones will say they are connected to the TV but the TV most of the time won't give me an option to connect and I remember I got a popup asking if I wanted the use the headphones as output but only for like 3-4 times so far.
      Usually I have to plug the power out of the TV for a while and remove the bluetooth device but and it doesn't always work. It's not great spending like 15min to get the headphones to work.
      Any ideas what could be wrong?

      Headphones and Bluetooth do not agree
      By 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 ?

      Is it possible to send sound to the internal speaker and Bluetooth at the same time?
      By JohnoFon
      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.

      The buttons work fine but for some reason, I can't get the cursor to appear on screen.
      Appreciate the help. Thanks

      How to accept a WiFi connection from a Linux PC desktop using the remote
      By makem
      I have a  LG OLED55C14LB WebOS TV in the same room as my xubuntu desktop computer and router.

      I have installed Gnome Network Displays on the Linux PC and both machines are on the same 5G network.

      When I connect the PC to the TV via WiFi the TV puts up a 'cancel' option and no option to connect. The Network display app only has an option to 'Return' which closes the connection.

      If I do nothing and wait the connection times out and returns to the TV program. The TV is obviously waiting for permission to connect.

      I cannot see any way to 'accept' the connection via the TV remote. Can anyone tell me how to accept the connection?
      In addition, is it possible to have the TV remember the WiFi password? Passwords are complex nowadays and it is a pain to keep having to input it. This make casting your desktop a chore.
