Headphones and speakers simultaneously

Jump to solution

Can someone tell me if I can use the earbuds with the Roku remote simultaneously with the sound bar, in other words can both work at the same time. I have a Roku Ultra feeding the TV. Due to hurricane Helene I have my elderly mother in law temporarily living at my house until hers is repaired. She is extremely hard of hearing on the verge of being deaf. The TV is turned up so loud that I can’t stay in the same room. I was hoping this might be a solution. Thanks in advance.

Hi @vokinko1,

Greetings from the Roku Community!

Please be advised that you cannot simultaneously listen to audio on both headphone mode and soundbar using a Roku Ultra; the device only allows sound output through one audio source at a time, meaning you can use headphones or the soundbar simultaneously.

We hope you'll find this helpful info. Let us know if you still have any questions.

All the best,
John
