Hi guys
Bought a new (black Friday deal) 4K TV on a bit of a whim - the Samsung 43" UE43NU7020K ( https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/UE43NU7020KXXU/ )
Great entry level 4K TV and still some mega deals on them. We upgraded from the fairly standard HD 40" UE40K5600AK ( https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/UE40K5600AKXZF/ ) which has served us well.
Part of that setup we have been using TaoTronics bluetooth headphones with (5600 has BT). The 7020 doesn't have bluetooth so bought a TaoTronics TT-BA09 ( https://wap.taotronics.com/product/...product/product_details?urlKey=ttba092afae1ab ) to connect to the Optical out and then transmit to headphones. Makes sense right? (Bonus - being able to use 2 sets of headhones too!).
Problem we have now is strange... Much of what we watch is streamed content - iplayer, itvhub, Now tv and more recently Chilli.tv (got a bunch of free credit from Vodafone). The 7020 doesn't play any audio through the BT headsets when using any streamed service, yet works fine on normal TV. I thought it might be the TT-BA09 but swapped back to the older 5600, plugged the TT-BA09 into the Optical and it works perfectly. Weirdly the TV speakers on the 7020 work fine on streamed content.
I'm at a bit of a loss what the fault is, it almost seems like a decoder/software/firmware bug in the Optical output from streamed content (yet 'normal' tv unaffected). I have nothing else Optical to test with it. The 7020 also doesn't have a 3.5mm jack out we could use instead.
Getting close to returning this 7020 while we still can!
Any ideas?!
