I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere on the internet. (I probably don't know what to search for)
My wife has severe hearing loss and is getting new hearing aids that have a feature that will allow transmitting of sound from RCA audio out connectors directly to the hearing aid. However, we have a home theater setup where all my various devices (DirectV, bluray player, ROKU, etc..) are connected to an AV receiver via HDMI cables. The Video is passed to the TV via another HDMI cable and the sound plays through the speakers attached to the AV receiver.
My AV Receiver has RCA audio out connecters, but it says that they only work for devices connected to analog in devices, which seems like it would not work for me.
I cannot use the headphone out jack because it will mute the speakers whenever something is plugged into it, and having the the normal sound on is an absolute requirement for this.
Does anyone know of a way I can make this work? I keep thinking there has to be some simple way to do this, but so far, no joy.
