Hello,
I see and hear that you cannot connect Bluetooth audio devices directly to a Samsung TV. You can only connect SoundShare-type devices. This limits us to the Samsung soundbar.

Is there a solution to add audio devices other than SoundShare to my TV?

Yes, the solution exists!

Samsung TVs are "restricted" for certain models. However, they have "open" firmware. This means that you can "modify" it directly from the TV, like overclocking your PC from the BIOS.

Follow this method; it is safe as long as you do not modify other parameters. In that case, I will not be responsible for your actions....

What to do:
  • With the TV off, press Info, Menu, Mute, and then Power in sequence. The TV will turn on with a hidden menu; in Options, select MRT Option.
  • At the bottom, you will see BT Support. Set it to ON. By the way, note the BT ADDRESS of your TV; it may be useful. Then turn off your Smart TV to save the modification.
  • Turn your TV back on and go to Menu > Sound > Speaker Settings.

Go to the Bluetooth Headset List. Put your Bluetooth headset in "Pairing" mode, and the TV should recognize your device normally.

I must inform you that I performed this manipulation on a Samsung TV of type UE (mine is a UE48H6400 - Series 6). And I specifically used the regular remote control to modify the "firmware." But normally this method applies to all Samsung Smart TVs.

NB: Your Smart Command (a second remote similar to a Wiimote for those who have it) may not work after the modification. No worries, press Return and Guide on the Smart Command at the same time for 3 seconds in front of your TV.

SSSuper... It works perfectly. Thank you very much YLNEO for the fix... I found it strange that it wasn't working when I had the same model as zaraki490.

If the Bluetooth headset menu does not appear.
Redo the Zaraki maneuver to enter the BIOS (TV off, Info, Menu, Mute then Power) and go to the following menu:
Option/Engineer Option/BT_Audio_ON_OFF
Set to ON ...
Turn off / restart

It worked for me: model UE48H6400 and JBL GO bluetooth receiver.
