Hello all,

My TV is an OLED55BXPTA

I would like to suggest adding ARC+Headphones or Optical+Headphones sound options as while watching a movie TOGETHER some people prefer to use headphones due to hearing issues whereas others prefer to enjoy surround sound coming from the receiver. I've resolved it around by adding an expensive DAC that splits optical Dolby 5.1 to my Yamaha receiver through optical and 2CH stereo to headphones through 3.5mm, but it would be so much easier if it was supported out of the box.

I hope LG people read this.

Thanks!

JM

PS: DAC model is CYP DCT-9DN for those interested. Pic attached.

I signed up just to support this request.

I also would like to have the option to simultaneously output audio to the headphone port and via optical.

My TV is an OLED48CX9LB

I have analog stereo speakers connected to my TV via the analog headphone port and also have a connection to surround speakers via optical audio.
But I can not output audio to both at the same time, which my (very) old Samsung TV had an option for. (headphone + optical)
Right now I have to choose between "headphone (analog stereo speakers) + internal speakers" and "optical (surround) + internal speakers"

It would be very nice to have additional options like "headphone + optical" or even "headphone + optical + internal speakers".

      Sound and picture out of sync when screen mirroring from my iPhone to my LGQNED70A6A TV
      By chris7ben
      The sound and picture are out of sync when screen mirroring from my iPhone 16 Pro to my LGQNED70A6A TV, using the internal speaker. I have tried all the recommended tips in the settings to cure the issue with no success. However, when I isolate the TV from the mains supply for 60 seconds and restart it, the syncing issue is cured but degrades after a day or so. My iPhone software is up to date and there is no firmware upgrade available for the TV. My LinkSys router has a full fibre connection. The only connection into the TV is the mains supply. Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Sound out go back to previous selection when Bluetooth device gets disconnected
      By hjetschko
      Hi, I have a feature request for the sound out setting. I often connect my Bluetooth headphones to the TV. We don't use the internal speaker of the TV, we use the optical sound out setting whenever I don't use Bluetooth. It would make our lives a lot easier if the TV can remember the last sound out setting before connecting to Bluetooth and default back to this setting when the Bluetooth device gets disconnected. At the moment, each time I disconnect the headphones I have to go back into settings and change the sound out setting from internal speaker to optical again. 
      Thanks and regards
      Hubert

      OLED48B56LA Internal speaker not working when using HDMI ARC + internal speaker sound output
      By John Peet
      TV is a week old and the internal speaker has stopped working when in HDMI ARC + internal speaker sound output mode. The internal speaker itself works fine when in “internal speaker” sound output mode. I’ve checked all the settings that I can and can’t find anything that would correct this issue.

      LG Sound Suite: The World’s First Soundbar Audio System Powered by Dolby Atmos FlexConnect
      By News Reporter
      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

      Screensaver Options
      By eespinosa64
      Hello. I installed an app on my LG C9 called ArtHola. It is a gallery app that changes chosen artwork on the screen. Unfortunately, LG's fireworks screen saver comes on after a minute. Is there a way to disable that? Or is there a way to make that ArtHola app send a signal to the TV to keep the fireworks from coming on? I know that when I have my Nvidia Shield TV's screensaver come on, the TV never interrupts that.
