Starting with their 2024 models, Samsung TVs no longer include AUX or Optical audio ports—only HDMI. Other TV brands may follow this trend soon. If you still want to use a TV audio transmitter, you can do so with an HDMI Audio Extractor, such as the Avantree HAX05 or the upcoming HAX06.

When to use HAX05 / HAX06:

• ✅ Your TV only has HDMI output (no AUX or Optical).

• ✅ Your TV is wall-mounted, making audio ports hard to access.

• ✅ You're using a soundbar connected via HDMI ARC and want to add a Bluetooth transmitter at the same time.

How it works:

The HAX05 acts as an HDMI ARC Audio Extractor. It:

• Extracts the audio from the HDMI ARC port.

• Converts it to Optical or RCA output for your Avantree transmitter.

• Supports HDMI pass-through, so your soundbar continues to work through the same HDMI ARC connection.

For setup help, refer to the two example setup diagrams below.
