Wireless Headphones Won't Connect

I have used wireless headphones in the past and it has worked just fine. This morning, I was trying to connect my headphones to a different device, but the headphones kept on auto connecting to the Roku. I went into the Roku and went to Settings>Remotes & devices>wireless headphones>[My Headphone Name]>Auto Connect and turned auto connect off. A few hours later, I go to watch TV with my headphones, so I turn on my show, hit the * button, go to wireless headphones, and hit the connect button. Sound is still coming through the Streambar, so I go back to Remotes & devices to see whats up. Now the option to connect headphones isn't listed. I go back to my show and hit the * button again, and now the wireless headphone option is gone from there too. How do I get the Roku to let me use my wireless headphones with it again?

Re: Wireless Headphones Won't Connect

Good Afternoon,

I gave my 65 inch TCL model #65S53 to my brother recently as I bought a new TV. I was able to setup wireless headphones on this TV using the steps listed above previously. I deleted my headphones before I gave it to my brother and now we no longer have the option to add wireless headphones under the remotes & devices tab it only shows remote or speakers.  I have restarted the TV several times and disconnected all HDMI's so its only has the Roku Apps. Please HELP!

Re: Wireless Headphones Won't Connect

Thank you for your response, I was able to figure it. On my previous setup I had a Streambar and wireless speakers and after doing lots of digging I was finally able to figure out the TV alone did not have Bluetooth so once I setup an extra streambar I had to that TV we were able to setup the wireless headphones right away. Thanks for following up.
