Hey everyone. My samsung (ks7000) tv doesn't allow for volume control when you output the audio to a bluetooth headphone, so the only volume control available is the one built into the headphone, and when the volume is maxed out its not loud enough to the person thats gonna use it (he has hearing loss). Even for me the max volume is not loud at all, its around what i would use normally. Whenever you pair the bluetooth headphone, the TV locks the audio in a pretty low volume, and the tv volume controller won't work anymore. I've tried everything in TV Settings with no success. Also saw a lot of people online complaining about the same thing with these tvs

The only audio output options are hdmi and optical (and via bluetooth).

When i use the headphone with a phone i can get much louder audio because it adds up with the phone volume control.

Would a portable headphone amp work in this sittuation? It would need to have optical input or hdmi.

Or are there even any amps that take input bluetooth audio and can also output bluetooth audio?

The amp wouldn't need to be nothing fancy, i'd just leave it maxed out and control volume via the headphone.

Any insights are appreciated, thank you!

I don’t think there is anything that will boost the Bluetooth signal. Maybe a Bluetooth transmitter plugged into the tv?

something like this?

Yeah, except i think it would need to have a volume control.

Im guessing something ike this: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Avantre...th+transmitter+receiver&qid=1586097213&sr=8-3

I've found a couple alternatives since i made this topic, problem is you never know if whatever device you buy will actually make the sound loud enough, the damn TV locks the audio so at such low volume that the bluetooth amp really needs to be increase it a lot. But i'll take my chances and grab one of those options i found, see what happens.

Thanks for the reply!

If you used something that had a rca or 3.5 mm out, you should still, theoretically, be able to use the tv volume control... maybe...

Unfortunately the controller will only change the volume from the TV internal speakers. Found a lot of people complaining about.
