HDMI Audio Problem - Need some Expert Consultation......

Posted by Cut-Throat on January 27, 2018 at 23:15:13:
OK, I am spending the winter in Australia, so this is a temporary situation that I would like to fix if possible.

The Flatscreen TV (Phoenix TV - Model LTV4011D 40 inches - Can't find anything about it all) in our apartment has something wrong with its speakers. They sound terrible, especially if the volume increases. I think they are actually damaged.

For regular TV, I have solved the problem by taking the audio out RCA Jacks into a 3.5mm jack into my Bose Soundlink II powered speaker - Works Great!!

Here is the problem - I have a Roku 3 unit that only has an HDMI port out. When Plugged into the TV, the volume is even lower than regular TV and I have to turn it up to hear it... The audio output jacks do not put out any sound at all when in HDMI mode. So, the TV speakers really sound awful and Buzz when using the Roku.

I have looked for a Headphone Jack on the TV to see, if I could plug that into my Bose Soundlink, but I cannot find a headphone jack on the TV.

I don't want to spend any money (other than $10 or so) as I am only here for another couple months...

Anybody have an idea?
