Solved! HELP: How to hook up TVEars Analog to Samsung Smart TV, w/no Audio Out or Earphones

[Florence123]

I have a WINSTAR Analog to Optical device. Has ports for Audio and R & L on one side. SPDIF and Coax on the other.
Also switch to choose SPDF or CoAx.
Can I hook up this analog TVears with this Samsung Smart TV? If not, what should I buy to be able to use the TVEars Analog? Thanks. [don't post your email address on any forum]

Which Samsung TV model is it exactly?

If your winstar is similar to this,
https://www.amazon.de/Techole-Alumi...t=&hvlocphy=9042298&hvtargid=pla-616164693116

you will need a spdif optical or coax digital audio cable
connect the TVEars to the winstar by 3.5" or RCA (R & L)

The TV has to have a coax or spdif connection for the solution above

If your TV doesn't have any audio outputs (analog, headphone, coax/optical digital, or HDMI-ARC) then you can't connect anything to it without modifying the TV. A speaker to line level converter can be wired to the internal TV speakers. That would give you a variable analog audio output.
