A 3.5mm jack in a TV will likely be running through its own conversion/amplification, which I would not expect to be top tier. You could maybe get a digital signal out via audio return or probably your best bet is if the TV has optical out which you can plug into your own DAC/Amp.

You’ll need to check to see if the built in USB port on the TV can be used to output audio. I know some don’t, so I don’t know how common it is.

I can’t imagine why they would do that. Seems it would seriously hamper its usefulness as a way to consume media. But then again I guess it wouldn’t be the craziest thing ever.

Even xbox doesn't allow audio via USB port. I think TV's in general can't either. Best option is via optical port of TV to your dac/amp.

Or get the sennheiser flex 5000 (good for movies and gaming but less so for music)
