I can use my Earbuds through Bluetooth when watching TV but when I plug my jump drive into USB port I cannot connect and listen with my earbuds, is there a setting that I can use to accomplish this.

Thank you in advance..........scotty47

Hi scotty47,

When you plug in a USB drive, your TV might switch its audio output to the default speaker or another connected device, disabling Bluetooth audio. To ensure your Galaxy Buds stay connected while using a USB drive, try the following:

Manually Set Bluetooth as Audio Output: Go to TV Settings > Sound > Output and ensure Bluetooth is selected.

Reconnect Your Earbuds:  After inserting the USB drive, go to TV Settings > Bluetooth Devices and reconnect your Galaxy Buds.

Try a Different USB Port: If your TV has multiple USB ports, try switching ports and check if Bluetooth stays connected.

Thank you.

Thank you for the reply, here is what I done to solve the problem on my TV( with your prompting)

went to sound and selected "Audio Out/optical( as I am using a wireless audio transmitter plugged in to Digital audio out) then go to export settings> Digital Output Audio for> and choose PCM. and I can now get the sound through my earbuds.

I hope this makes sense
