Frits Meijlink Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 Since one year I am using a Rondo 3, and since very recently an AudioLink. I am trying to hook up my AudioLink to my tv set. The latter is a Samsung QN85A with no analog sound output. I have therefore, as far as I can see, to use either an HDMI or an optical cable for output. Obviously, no direct connection with the AudioLink is possible. I was wondering how others have resolved this, in other words what kind of adaptor/converter cables are possible and preferable.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 2, 2023 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 @Frits Meijlink A digital to analog converter box or setting the AudioLink on its dock near the TV speakers but not actually wired to the TV and using the AudioLink as a remote mic.

Dianna Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Hi fritz, ive used my audiolink with my ci and ha as mary beth suggested. It does work well on family tv as you can adjust your hearing device volume as needed. I also found a plug in the back of my tv that accepted the red and white plug, like a headphone jack, and plug in my audiolink base. It works great within 10 ft. I walk in, turn on tv and audiolink fires up in seconds. I turn off tv speakers and its my own private tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that my tv has no analog output (e.g., RCA=red&white plugs) and the AudioLink has no digital input. So I need -as Mary Beth pointed out- a converter. I am currently trying to find a suitable optical cable to connect my tv with this converter. Hopefully, the next AudioLink model (if and) will be capable of communicating directly with digital tvs, that would be a lot easier!

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 3, 2023 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 @Frits Meijlink Some newer TVs have a headphone jack AND an accessibility setting for multi audio so others in the room can continue to hear through the regular speakers even when the AudioLink is plugged into the headphone jack.

Mariakat Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Hello Have anyone try to connect smart tv to audiolink via Bluetooth??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 As a Samsung tv owner, you need to do as @Mary Beth said. Either converter or setting it docked near the tv. Personally found none of the hassle is worth it and hope MedEl creates an actual modern dedicated TV streamer like every other hearing device company. Theres also the Artone neckloop too which has a tv streamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hicksy Posted Tuesday at 01:40 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:40 PM I recently bought a LG OLED B4 that has Bluetooth out that connects to my phone. It is a bit of a pain to get connected to both TV and Audiostream but works well when successful. It is however, sound to the phone or sound to the tv/receiver, not both.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted Tuesday at 02:33 PM HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:33 PM That kind of private TV listening (only streaming to our CI/HA and no sound in the room for other people) is also an option with ROKU. The ROKU app offers private listening and the audio goes from phone to CI/HA. https://support.roku.com/article/217478308 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
