Headphones (AirPod) and TV volume at same time.

Wouldn’t it be great if the TV volume could play out loud for everyone, while someone with hearing loss listens through headphones on Roku at the same time?

    Thanks for reaching out! kcjp​,

    Just a heads up, you cannot listen to audio through both headphones and a Roku TV speaker at the same time. The device only outputs sound through one audio source at once. You can choose to use either the headphones or the TV speaker, but not both simultaneously.

    I hope this helps!

      This is an improvement suggestion.  Hoping to get support and drive development.  Otherwise this feature is for only one person, not a common family experience.

        It's been asked for many, many times over many, many years.  Roku seems to have no interest or compassion.
