Is there a setting to disable the internal speakers - not just turning the volume down to 0. I saw something in the manual for "Headphone mode" but couldn't find it in the settings. Using Digital Out for a sound bar would like to truly disable internals. null

Thanks - it's an Energy Power Bar and unfortunately only has SPDIF so picked up an HDMI to HDMI + Optical Toslink SPDIF w/ARC function audio extractor and hope it "tricks" the TV's OS to disable the internal speakers using the ARC setting.

If you put in a headphone jack and select headphone only sound, it will disable the speakers. That's what I did so I could play my sound bar through the output without the TV speakers being on

My solution was to plug a set of cheap headphones into the TV, that keeps the sound from coming out of the speakers. If you have headphones that are not working, even better.

I have not found a setting that only turns off the speakers but if you utilize the ARC function on the HDMI port it will disable the TV speakers and you will be able to control the volume of the connected device with the TV remote. I switched from digital out to ARC on my soundbar to combat the same issue you are having.

Hello, and thank you for being a Hisense customer! It looks like through the Android OS, in Settings and Sound, you may be able to just choose sound to travel directly thru Optical Out only, but you may indeed have to just reduce the system volume of the internal speakers.
