Multi-output Audio on Samsung TVs lets you adjust the volume of your Bluetooth audio device and TV speakers separately, making it easier to hear dialogue or enjoy audio without disturbing others. This feature is ideal for users who need personalized sound settings while watching TV.

1. What Is Multi-output Audio?

Multi-output Audio is a feature that allows you to stream audio from your Samsung TV to both your Bluetooth audio device (like headphones or speakers) and the built-in TV speakers simultaneously. You can control the volume levels of each output independently, ensuring optimal sound for your needs.

- This feature is particularly useful for individuals who require higher volume on their Bluetooth device due to hearing difficulties, while keeping the TV speakers at a lower volume to avoid disturbing others.
