Morning all,

I have this TV -> https://www.samsung.com/uk/tvs/full-hd-tv/t5300-32... and I'm wanting to output the audio to headphones, ideally via 3.5mm jack.

I purchased this -> https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07XC42GZR?ref=ppx_yo2... but it doesn't work on Youtube or Netflix, which is no good.

What's the easiest way to get audio from the TV to headphones? Some research suggests a Firestick + bluetooth headphones would work best, but as this is for a 10 year old, them forgetting to charge to the headphones will quickly get annoying. Ideally I want a wired option but I don't think there is one?

Unfortunately PCM doesn't work, some sources (Youtube, Netflix) still don't work.

You would probably be better with an hdmi arc to 3.5mm converter. It should support all sources and the volume control will work, which it wont do on an optical adaptor.

I have used these to connect sonos gen 1 amps to tvs with no analogue audio outputs.

Thanks for this, looks like a great suggestion, ordered and will try when it arrives.
