How to get external speakers working with Reliance Jio Fiber Android set-top box?

[Rajneesh Rana]

Has anyone tried connecting speakers to the Jio STB?
I tried connecting but they are not working and couldn't find any option for switching audio from HDMI to audio out.
Also the remote control has some buttons which does nothing.

My bluetooth speaker has a audio port where i connect the cable. The other end I connect to the 3.5mm jack on the Jio STB.

So, optical cable that you may have must be 3.5mm on the other side?

 

[ap99]

Yes. The cable was included with the bluetooth speakers.

Just checked the documentation. The port is actually SPDIF port and not normal 3.5mm headphone jack.

Is spdif giving output?

Can we connect Jio STB with Sony home theatre to get sound on Samsung LED

What type of cable you have used . Is it Toslink cable

I use external speakers with my Jio STB.
Actually there is some problem with the audio of my TV. So I compulsorily have to use external speakers be it for Jio STB or for watching normal cable.
I just connect the speaker cable to the audio port on the STB. The sound is automatically played via the speakers. I don't have to change any settings for that.

I don't exactly know what a toslink cable is but my speakers have a simple 3.5 mm audio jack which I directly connect to the Jio STB.

You can use arc channel from tv hdmi output.Sony led tv has marked 1 channel as ARC channel.so if yu connect jio stb to 2nd hdmi port of tv then yu can pick analog stereo pin audio from tv audio out pins or yu can directly connect yur home theatre to hdmi ARC channel no 1 on tv hdmi out.like my blaupunkt soundbar has hdmi input option

Hey, Can you tell which speaker are you using. If possible can you share its Amazon or flipkart link?

@may123 better ask which STB he has and what kind of audio-out port it has
