how to use ear buds and not cancel out tv speakers

[Mac-18]

There may be a work around, but most devices don't support it.

You may have to obtain a sound bar.  Most devices do not allow a connection to multiple sound sources.  Some do. Check the specs of your TV.  There may be a setting to allow multiple BT connections to allow multiple headsets to be connected or to allow the internal speakers to be on with BT.  Bluetooth will always override internal speakers on any device unless the connected device allows multiple output.  Sound Bars usually come with their own remote control so you can turn it off while using a headset to access the TV's audio, or turn it on while you listen to the TVs output and everyone else listens through the sound bar.

Hello @LeniAnn! Thank you for reaching out! You should be able to use a feature called multi-output audio. Depending on your model, you will have a few options to get this to work, be generally it should be Settings > General > Accessibility > Multi-output Audio. You can also check your user manual for more information,.
