I'm trying to find a way to connect both my tablet and my TV (Fire Stick) to my sound system. The problem is that my amp can only connect to one device at a time, and I don't want to keep swapping them out whenever I want to switch audio sources. Ideally, I'd like both devices to stay connected so I can play music from the tablet and easily switch to the TV audio when needed. Does anyone have suggestions for a solution?

I think the best option would be to upgrade your amp. Your specific situation might not have a ready-made solution out there, as it seems pretty niche. Custom setups could work, but they might end up being more expensive than just getting a new amplifier that supports multiple connections.
If you're open to it, consider using a Bluetooth 5.0+ adapter. Some newer models support multiple devices, so check out something like this adapter: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/aw/d/B0FG7JFDN8. Just make sure to disable the amp’s built-in Bluetooth. You could also look into Wi-Fi options for one of the devices to keep both connected more seamlessly.
I took a look at that product, but it seems it splits one source to multiple Bluetooth devices. I'm trying to connect multiple sources to my amp instead. But I appreciate the suggestion!
Definitely check out the Wi-Fi option, that might work better!
Have you considered just leaving the TV on and streaming music through an app on your Fire Stick? It could save you a lot of hassle, although you'd still want the tablet for your ring camera notifications.
That’s not a bad idea, but I’d still prefer to have the tablet connected for the camera!
Thanks, I see what you mean—it really is a niche need!
