I am trying to connect a Resound TV Streamer 2 to my Roku Streambar SE so that I can simultaneously listen to the TV through my hearing aids while other family members listen through the Streambar speaker. The optical plug on the Roku seems to be an input and not an output so it does not supply sound to the Resound Streamer 2. I had hoped that because HDMI/ARC is a 2-way connection, that the Roku Soundbar sound would flow back to the TV and I could use the TV's digital output, but no sound there as well. I've seen the suggestion to use private listening. This works fabulously if I am watching alone, but doesn't help when other people watch with me, as private listening mutes the Roku speaker. Has anyone found a solution that allows simultaneous listening through hearing aids and the Roku Streambar speaker?
