Should have said there is an A/V sync adjustment on the transmitter so you can get the speakers and the headphones to sync up.

I have a similar problem, my hearing is good but my wife's is not.
Our current setup is to connect the source devices to the TV via HDMI, then run a digital audio cable from the TV to the digital audio input of a Sony HW700DS headphone transmitter. This transmitter has a digital audio loopthrough capability so I route the audio out from it to a soundbar.
The sound formats are obviously limited to what a digital audio cable can carry but that's something I have to live with.
The headphone transmitter actually has three HDMI inputs and one output so it is intended to be used as a source selector but a) you have to actually walk up to it and press one of three buttons, b) it's HDMI 1.4a so no HDR and c) I'd need something to split out the audio for the headphones.
We've been doing this for a long time and are on our second set of headphones - the first ones literally fell apart. They haven't been on sale for a while but are still available second hand.

I am setting up a fanless PC to replace a whiny NUC. It dual-boots Windows 10 and LibreELEC. It is fitted with a Streacom/Wesena IRRC remote built into the case.
The remote handset is just a Phillips RC260. All the work is done in the receiver which converts the IR signals to USB events. This conversion is programmable using a Windows application downloadable from the Streacom web site. For each button you select from a menu of USB events: keyboard, mouse, MCE and Multimedia events.
Most things work OK but one or two don't. I'm trying to get a button to bring up the Kodi context menu, which I know I can do with keyboard-C or right mouse click (there may be MCE or Multimedia events which do this as well). This works perfectly when Kodi is running under Windows but under LibreELEC there is no response to the button press. I tried to map other buttons to O and A too but again without success.
I have an extract from a debug log which shows the difference between pressing the button on the remote and hitting the key on an actual keyboard:

18:09:35.891 T:139679449011456 DEBUG: OnKey: c (0xf043) pressed, action is ContextMenuI'd appreciate help in how to debug this. The button press registers as a KEY_C but doesn't then generate a ContexMenu action, whereas it does for the real keyboard.
I hope I'm posting in the right forum - it's not clear to me whether this is a Kodi issue or a LibreELEC one.
