I know this is an old post, however, I just received my TV Connector (TVC) in the mail from my VA Audi. I understand audiology NOT wanting others to access Phonak’s software to adjust one’s own HA’s. I just can’t figure out why why shouldn’t be able to access the TVC settings ourselves. It’s not like you can screw up your HA setting by changing the TVC settings. Maybe it’s to assure continued audi visits?
Anyway, it took me a long time to figure out something supper simple, how to get sound to my HA’s, with my Apple TV box. It turns out, I just simply had to select Apple TV aka HDMI, in the. Audio Output settings, to get sounds to my HA’s, duh.
I have HomePods and for some dumb reason, I have to turn OFF the Apple TV Audio Output, in order to adjust the HomePod volume with the SIRI remote. You can’t have two sources chosen at the same time and adjust the HomePod volume.
When I select Apple TV aka HDMI in the Audio Output, my HA’s receive sound and the HomePods have sound, but I cannot adjust the HomePod’s volume. I think I could ask SIRI to raise/lower the HomePod volume but I prefer using the remote.
I have to say, I do love being able to keep my HA’s in now, to be the only one to hear sound from the TV. Before I was taking out my HA’s and wearing my AirPods, not very convent. You can connect your HA’s directly to the Apple TV, however, switching Audio Output sources is kind of a pain…
Now, if I can just get rid of the constant rushing/white noise and crackling bacon/bubble wrap/falling rain sounds I hear through my HA’s when nothing is playing on the TV at all…
