Sounds a whole lot like an issue I encountered a couple of years back. I have headphones for viewing as my wife is not wild about the sound when it is loud enough for me to hear. It is a "box" that plugs into the TV and that transmits the sound to my headphones. Not Bluetooth. Anyway I had purchased a new QLED TV (Sony Bravia) that worked great except that when the headphones were working, the sound from the speakers wouldn't, unless I unplugged the transmitter box from my TV--which was dead-center in the BACK rear of the TV; a 65" set on an entertainment center, which meant that I had to move the TV to unplug the box whenever we had company who actually wanted to hear the TV. There was no remote function that would toggle between the two. Very annoying. I called Sony and confirmed that that was just the way it was designed.

Anyway, as the TV was a Costco purchase I was able to return it and use the refund towards a set (Samsung) that DID have the toggle function.

You might want to call your TV manufacturer and explain your issue. They may be able to help. But if your mom's device is not Bluetooth, there's a chance that you're looking at a problem like mine which is designed into your TV.

Best of luck.
