TV Volume Problem

What have folks done about DVD volume in the pastv3 years?

It would nice if the TV had bluetooth, but since it doesn't appear to, this is what we use:
Amazon.com: Bluetooth speaker MUSIC ANGEL Wireless Portable Stereo Speakers with Enhanced bass Resonator Bluetooth 4.0 Built-in Mic 4000mAh Rechargeable Bat 24 Playing Hours: Home Audio & Theater
and

We plugged in the speaker jack-to-USB cable into the television's speaker/headphone jack, then routed the cable to the adjacent streetside cabinet, holding the cable in place along the bottom edge of the television mount with zip ties. We had already routed a USB cable there, which we use to recharge phones and minor electronic stuff.

We have a micro SD card with a few hundred hours of music on it, so our primary use of the speaker is to play that music. When using it in that manner, we connect the USB cable to keep it charged. We swap to the jack-to-USB cable on the rare occasion that we watch a DVD.

The speaker has excellent sound quality, and since it is portable we can listen to music outside if we want to. If the television had bluetooth, we would just need to pair them up, and that would be that. If you do have another device with bluetooth that could take advantage of this (if you keep your music on your phone, perhaps) this setup might have some advantages for you.

 

Not into TV but once in a while I use this speaker outside with an ipod for music. I make sure no one is around to hear it.
