You just run the cable from the soundbar to your tv. Anything that plays on the tv will go to soundbar. You also have to change the settings for the tv to route through soundbar and turn tv speakers off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The easiest way to accomplish this would be to attach all audio from your cable box and Xbox to the TV and then attach the TV to the sound bar using an optical cable from the audio out optical slot on your TV to the audio in optical slot on your sound bar . In this way all audio that comes out of your TV speaker will also come out of the sound bar . You may also want to disable your TVs speaker if the option is available in your TVs audio options , if you don't like the sound with both the TV speakers and the sound bar .

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That completely depends on what soundbar and receiver you have. If you don't have a receiver you can connect the TV to the soundbar in most cases and have the audio just pass through (check your TV manual for settings changes)

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Should be able to connect your gaming system to the TV then runaaudio cable from your TV to the sound bar. Unless of course your sound bar has enough input spaces to connect them straight to it. Could always get a receiver to run everything through.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have my sound bar connected directly to my tv and get sound from anything that is connected to it. Such as my ps4, blue ray player, cablex box and ROKU device.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I do it by running the sound from the TV (mine has digital audio out) to the sound bar. Works great, and switching devices (xbox, cable, chromecast) also switches audio because it's all coming from the TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would use hdmi if you run out of optical audio ports
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Since you most likely won't be using either without your TV being on the easiest way is to have them both connected to the TV (via two separate hdmi cables) and run your digital audio from your TV to the sound bar. Your only other option is to have a audio switch of some kind.
