Solved! Dual audio output on samsung smart tv

[md11]

I have a samsung ua55mu6100w tv. My father is slightly deaf so the audio is always up very loud. I would like to be able to hear the audio through the tv speaker and the bluetooth headphones at the same time so he can have the audio at a level that he can hear but it isn't too loud through the tv speakers. Is this possible? Thanks

I seem to remember that on a Samsung I set up there was a quick select functions that let you turn on the TV speakers after the optical out was turned on and they both worked together. Maybe that will work for bluetooth.
The only other workaround would be to get a bluetooth transmitter that will pair with two devices and connect it to the optical output. Pair that with the headphones and a soundbar or speaker.

Check the TV manual on how to use the optical output.
