Hey my techies... I got the Firestick 4K, and love it!.. we have audio through an optic cable to my older Bose 321 system. I also got my parents 2 Firesticks... Problem: My dad is hard of hearing, so he has some bluetooth headphone to listen to the tv. The audio comes through fine to thier Vizio sound bar, however, when my dad connects his headphones, the sound bar goes dead. Is there a way/workaround to hear the sound bar (bluetooth also) and the bluetooth headphones at the same time so my mom can hear the tv too?

Wouldn't that be a setting in your TV? I mean. doesn't the Firestick connect to the TV though a USB slot?

Dude... I've tried everything. Both the TV and the soundbar are VIZIO's, and connect to each other via bluetooth, but as soon as dad turns on his headphones.... soundbar goes off. I've tried optical cable to see if the audio would open a bluetooth path for his headphones, I've looked for bluetooth settings on the tv, nothing. Audio options... it's driving me nuts that I can't figure this out.

It sounds like it can only send the signal to one bluetooth device at a time. Have you ever gotten 2 to work at the same time?
