If your mother is alone, and the television audio is bothering her-- just mute the television's audio. If your television's audio is connected by an Optical cable to a sound bar-- that is no problem either. Buy a Optical cable splitter from Amazon for about $15. Connect it to the television's audio output. Then, one optical cable is attached from the Splitter's output to the sound bar, and the second Optical Splitter's output is attached to the Transmitter. This is exactly how we have it hooked-up, and it works perfectly. Any questions-- send me a Private Message.

Not all TVs work that way. On my Samsung, if you want to use the audio out or the digital audio out connections, you cannot also use the internal TV speakers. My TV is about 7 years old, so I don't know how the newer TVs operate. But, I have found that, a lot of posters asking for help on TOTV have old TVs.
