Re: private listening not working

I am having the same problem I try to watch my Roku on my bedroom and living room TV which are roku-enabled TCL TVs and I am using the mobile app to patch the audio through so I can do private listening and I am using a pair of Bluetooth Pro buds it says everything's connected but I am not hearing any sound produced just wondering what is going on and why I am not hearing any sound during private listening?

@Briangulledge9

Thanks for the post.

Are you making sure that the Bluetooth headset is paired to your remote? In addition, are you making sure to activate the private listening feature from within the Roku mobile app? 

For more information about using the private listening feature with the Roku mobile app, visit our Support page here: Use headphones with the mobile app for private listening

Please keep us posted what you find out.


Thanks,
Danny
