  2. Remove/disconnect the internal speakers connector (highlighted in below image:)

  7. All Set !! Connect the bluetooth/wired headset to 3.5 mm audio pin connected in step 4 and enjoy controlling the headset volume using existing TV Remote.
You can use the 3.5 mm pin remote controlled output for your soundbar or external speakers as well as headset. 

OR

Use the optical output for your soundbar or external speakers And 3.5 mm pin output for headset, so that at night you can just turn off external speakers and listen on headset !!!

Obviously with this setup, your TV speakers wont be operational any more...

    A "no solder" solution, it's old (usb 1.1) so no good for most computers but it is standalone with 5.1 speaker out, MIDI in/out, Optical audio in/out, SPDIF in, Digital out, Line in, Microphone in, Headphones out, Microphone volume knob, Master volume knob, Ir remote.

    Creative Labs Sound Blaster Extigy

    Extigy remains a pretty versatile sonic animal even with the PC turned off. Control by the included IR remote it can handle Dolby Digital decode, apply CMSS to any incoming audio source and output it to either speakers or headphones, and can do both D/A and A/D conversion through any of its inputs and outputs. And with its 24-bit/96KHz DACs, it's a good place to take incoming digital sources and convert them to analog domain for output to a set of speakers. Extigy can run in two-channel, four-channel, and 5.1 speaker modes, and can connect to any of these configurations via a digital pipe (coax or optical S/PDIF) or using three analog output connectors. This last option is useful for inexpensive 5.1 speaker sets that often forego digital inputs to cut costs."

    The solution: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HB151RW
    (HDMI ARC Adapter, edola HDMI ARC Audio Extractor Adapter 4K HDMI Audio Splitter with Digital Optical Toslink Coaxial and Analog 3.5mm L/R Stereo Audio)

    This device connects through the HDMI ARC port on the TV. It's outputs are 3.5mm auxiliary, red/white RCA ports, and SPDIF/TOSLINK optical. The key feature here is that it accepts volume up/down/mute commands from the TV remote to change the volume on these output ports.

    HDMI ARC is unique because it allows audio output through this HDMI port. The other HDMI ports on the TV are for video & audio INPUT from a blu-ray player/XBox/cable box, etc. HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) allows the TV to use the CEC protocol (called AnyNet+ on Samsung TVs) to send volume up/down/mute commands to this audio adapter box. This adapter, in turn, changes the output volume on the three output ports. HDMI ARC is how the TV controls volume on a soundbar. Note that the volume coming out of the HDMI ARC port doesn't change, this external adapter changes the volume based on the volume up/down commands it gets from the TV over AnyNet+.

    This was literally plug and play. It worked first thing. Just make sure AnyNet+ is enabled on the TV.
