Audio out on LG tv

A week later anything to report?

Nothing much yet kona as I've not borrowed the firestick yet but intend to pick it up this weekend. I must admit though that quite a lot of youtube, iplayer and Netflix is perfectly in sync directly from the tv or my phone. I tend to stream from my phone more using Chromecast as it's faster typing what I want to watch than using the tv keypad. Interestingly, I connected my Manhattan T1 set top box to the LG and on most programmes it's a slightly sharper picture than the built in freeview. The Manhattan also lets me adjust AV sync for live tv and my wireless buds whenever it's slightly off. If I add 20ms it's perfect. So I find Chromecast and the set top box still beneficial.

Currently I'm figuring out how to put a tv stand together, lol. As the legs on the LG are too far apart for my tv table.

You didn't mention you had a chromecast lol.

That would do most or the same job as a fire stick so there's your problem solved.

Good luck with the stand.

Stand up and running perfectly. Was quite fun figuring out which screws, bolts and spacers to use because they supplied a ton more pieces in different sizes that I didn't need. :)

But the Chromecast doesn't have AV sync adjust like the firestick, so the firestick should work better.

kona, about that firestick suggestion you made. Well... :( ..


















it was an excellent suggestion! :D I bought one for £40. It's the 2021 version between the lite and the 4k. My sister in law couldn't find hers.

I'm so impressed with it. Everything is perfectly in sync. Literally everything I watch. And I haven't even needed to use the AV adjust! The picture quality is also better than streaming from the TV's smart apps or via chromecast.

Not only that but a bonus is that since signing into my youtube account, the firestick link is showing up on my phone when I click the little cast box on youtube, which means I don't have to slowly type and move around to each letter with the firestick remote control, and can just send videos from the phone to the firestick.

I haven't signed into my netflix or iplayer account on the firestick yet but imagine those will show up in the cast box too. Also, I discovered I'm able to use my LG remote with all menus and settings on the firestick which is handy, so I don't really need to use the firestick remote.

I have to disconnect my buds from the LG though when I want to use them with the firestick, and vice versa, but that takes all of about 15 seconds to switch from one to the other. Interestingly though, I can't control volume of the buds when connected to the firestick. Neither the firestick volume button or the LG button or the mute buttons affect it. The buds have touch controls so I just put my finger to the right bud to increase volume and left bud to decrease.

I never thought I'd be able to get perfect sync with wireless buds, it's exceeded my expectations. So I don't need to buy that RCA analogue to optical converter box now. Thanks again for the great suggestion. :)

YW. That's great news bud glad it all worked out for you. Its great that anyone can add this functionality to their TV with the fire stick.

I was the same when I got bluetooth headphones working with my TV properly , a massive convenience to say the least.


Which BT buds are you using out of interest?

I bought Mpow M30 in January for £28 on Amazon. They were recommended to me on head-fi when I asked for buds to try and match the sound quality of my wired buds. Bargain imo, they pretty much equal my wired buds which cost three times as much.
