How to set the default audio out?

[woof]

I have a couple of LG OLEDs in shared spaces, with external speakers, one via optical and the other via analog jack (confusingly named headphones). Whenever bluetooth headphones are used and then disconnected, the TV reverts to "internal" terrible audio. For non-technical people this is permanent. Do I have to train everyone to select the device from the long list or can I set a default?

Hi,

I have the exact same issue with my LG CX. Please LG release an update that allows the user to select which audio output to use by default when the bluetooth audio device is turned off!

I have the same issue. After disconnecting bluetooth headphones TV sets output to internal speaker. I have to manually set output to ARC.

Oh my god. How can this be so freaking difficult. Why can't the user set the default audio out, I am having the exact same issue, when I disconnect my BT headset it goes to internal audio.

[Mark Tiede]

Me too.

Hi,

I have the exact same issue with a TV  I brought to my grandma. Please LG release an update that allows the user to select which audio output to use by default when the TV device is turned off and On again.

This is critical for me!!

I am facing the same problem, does anyone have a solution for it

Still only silence from LG... ?

I did not know about this problem when I bought the projector.

Right now the projector is useless for the other persons in my household if it uses the internal speakers by default...

I have OLED77B16LA with exactly the same issue.

I have an amplifier with hdmi arc which is in use on the daytime. Evenings I’m using bluetooth headphones and each time, like every day I need to adjust manually back to hdmi arc.

Same issue here with a 2022 LG TV and LG Soundbar. After terminating the bluetooth-connection the TV changes to internal speakers.

turn off quickstart+

SHould we just switch to TV-stick then?
Looks like LG doesn't care.
1. No default sound out.
2. Disabled Dolby Vision for anything except mp4
Great hardware + terrible software.. what else can we do?

I just connected my surround sound through optical even though HDMI 2 arc is still connected too and all good.

Hello

I have a completely opposite problem. I change the default output settings to TV speakers. After turning TV off and on again, the audio switches to hdmi arc by default, because there is a connection with WIIM AMP there. What do I do to have TV speakers by default, and switch to hdmi arc manually? 

Please help.
