I have a Philips 55PUS7503 android TV. Well the ambilight is cool and all but everything else is horrible imo.

Today I updated the software, and the UI got a bit new and cleaner actually, but the audio out headphone mode disappeared. Now it only shows “TV speakers / HDMI sound system / TV speakers off”. I used to use it with an external speaker on the jack plug. TV speakers were off. Now this mode disappeared, and the external speaker is always on, no matter what, and I can not change the external speaker volume woth the buttons only if I go into settings and change the “headphone volume”, but this requires so much buttons pressed and tedious that I cant just easily change volume.

What is worse, is that I actually don’t even use the remote control because I cast the content feom my phone, and I used to be able to change the volume (of the external speaker) with my phone, and now it only can change the TV speakers sound, and I don’t need that as I would only want to use my external speaker.

Is it my fault or they really changed this? If so, is this a bug or a feature? Can I somehow change the volume of the external speaker with my volume buttons like I used to?
