“I’m guessing others are having success with soundbars but I am not. I am trying to use a Vizio and using HDMI cable. I’ve tried resets on both and every setting for audio output but haven’t found a direct output to soundbar option. What am I missing?”

Hi Tb919, Your TV can send sound to an ARC device, like an AV receiver, to create a home theater that uses two or more speakers. When you connect external speakers or a soundbar, sound plays through your TV speakers and the external speakers or soundbar. 1. Make sure that your TV’s power cord is unplugged and the digital speaker system or sound bar is turned off. 2. Connect an HDMI cable (not provided) to the HDMI/ARC jack on your TV and to the audio in jack on the digital speaker system or sound bar. 3. Plug your TV’s power cord into a power outlet, then turn on your TV. 4. Turn on the digital speaker system or sound bar, then set it to the correct source. See the documentation that came with the digital speaker system or sound bar. Note: Depending on the audio device you are connecting, you may need to change the digital audio format for your TV. The default setting is Auto. 5. If you need to change the digital audio format, go to the Home menu, select Settings, then select Display & Sounds. Select Audio Output, then select Digital Audio Format and change the setting to PCM or Dolby Digital. 6. If you want to turn off your TV speakers, go the Home menu, select Settings, then select Display & Sounds. Select Audio Output, then select TV Speakers and change the setting to OFF.
