Bluetooth Headphones and TV Speakers Simutaneously

2 Upvotes

Hello! My dad and I got a new TV for my mom, and I have been reading up on many of the 2+ year old posts with similar titles and questions, and unfortunately the older things that worked no longer work for this purpose.

My mom is hard of hearing and my dad and I bought her a pair of headphones (Avantree) which work, but my dad wants to be able to watch the same thing with her with the TV speakers (or any speakers that would work at the same time) and control the volume separately as what works for her is very loud, but for him it's blasting his ears out lol

The smartphone / app option does not really work as they're not very tech savvy. I'm trying to figure out how I can split the audio with separate volume controls. I've tried many things and nothing worked thus far, so please explain to me like I'm 5 if you have a solution please!

I will say, cords/cables are not an issue if they're needed, if there's a solution for TV speakers and the headset to both work and a long cable will be a solution, I can do that!

For reference, the TV is the "Roku 55" Class Select Series 4K QLED Smart RokuTV (2026) and the Avantree headphones are the "Avantree Opera Plus - Wireless TV Headphones with HDMI ARC Input"

Thank you!!

Asking for clarification about existing GMAP support

2 Upvotes

Apparently, LE audio gen 2 has a Gaming Audio Profile (GMAP) that drastically reduces audio latency. All I have been able to find that supports this are as follows:

* Sony WH1000-XM6

* FlooGoo FMA121 LE Audio / Auracast™ Transmitter/Receiver

* Devices with the Qualcom QCC5181 chipset

I'm not sure, but I believe that the Sennheiser BTD700 adapter might also work? Please let me know if that works or if any additional products are out there. I'm ultimately trying to get myself lower latency for wireless gaming, like found in this video https://youtu.be/QK9bEhsVgxg?si=4ojICJ5PemcU9PhP

Problem with Bluetooth Glitching

1 Upvotes

Hello, I’m new here so sorry if this is the wrong sub to ask about this, but I’ve been having a problem with my Bluetooth glitching for a while now and I’m getting tired of it.

For reference, I have an iPhone 15 and this problem has been occurring since I first got the phone.

I used to have a 2016 GMC Acadia and whenever I connected to the Bluetooth to listen to music, there would be glitches in the music where it would lag and speed up. I thought it was a problem with the car but last year I ended up having to get a new car for unrelated reasons. Now I have a 2018 Mazda CX-5 and the same problem is occurring. I was okay with it for a while but now I’m noticing that the glitches and lags are occurring when I use my AirPods. So I know it must be a problem with my phone’s Bluetooth rather than the cars.

Also for reference, the glitching and lagging does seem to get worse when I’m in neighborhoods or near buildings, but it will happen occasionally anywhere.

I’ve tried turning off my WiFi to see if maybe my phone was trying to connect to nearby buildings, but that didn’t help. I’ve also tried not wearing my Apple Watch since it also has a Bluetooth connection but that didn’t change anything either.

Does anyone know what I can do to solve this problem without having to get a new phone?

Thanks in advance :)

I'm looking to buy a USB Bluetooth adapter for my Windows PC/laptop. My budget is limited, so I want something that's affordable but also durable and reliable for long-term use.
