Multi-output Audio on Samsung TVs

Last Update date : 2024-04-30

Have you ever been watching your TV and you can’t quite hear what is being said? The simple answer would be to just turn up the volume but in certain cases having the TV too loud is not an option. Multi-output Audio allows you to turn the volume up or down on your Bluetooth audio device and TV speakers separately. Before you start using Multi-output Audio, it is recommended for you to connect your Bluetooth audio device to the TV otherwise this function will not be available if you try selecting it.
