TV Audio to Wireless Headphones


Hello everyone. I am having an issue setting up a wireless connection from my brand new Hysense 40 inch smart TV to my wireless headphones. I have hearing issues and want to use the headphones to listen to TV. The TV has a HDMI (ARC) which is the only audio output besides the headphone jack which kills the speakers, which I do not want to do. I bought an hdmi adapter that has a 3.5mm jack on the side that supposedly will give me the audio I want. If I plug the cable with two 3.5mm plugs into the adapter and the wireless transmitter to the headphones I get nothing. I have tried all the audio setting in the TV and still nothing out of the HDMI. Can someone please give me some guidance here?

Thanks in advance.

Yage, I ordered the top one, will be here tomorrow. I think if I use the optical output from the TV to the above unit I should be able to use a 3.5mm patch cord from the above unit to the wireless transmitter for the headphones and have audio. The thing is, I want to be able to use the headphones for myslef but keep the audio coming out of the TV speakers, both at the same time. I will let you know how it goes.

Yage, to give you a better idea of what is going on I am attaching some screen shots. The first is of the instructions of how to select PCM audio on my Hisense TV. The color shots show the options I have while setting up the audio on the TV itself. As you can see, the options in the TV don't match the options in the instructions. I should be getting the item I told you I ordered this afternoon. I will hook it up and let you know what happens. 

It seems to be a not so easy way to get audio out of the TV for headphones while keeping the audio coming out of the TV speakers. I remember when you had a seperate audio output that allowed you to do just that. Technology screws something up again!!!!

OOPS----forgot the attachments. for some reason I can't put the attachments in here. Sorry.

I don't see any screenshots but I think using the optical output should get you what you want. I connect the optical output on my TV to my DAC and the sound can play through the built-in speakers as well as through the stereo.

I think we are on to something here. If it works for you then it should work for me. I will let you know.
