Do I plug my soundbar into HDMI 1? null

I believe HDMI 1, 2, 3 are INPUTS for receiving a signal from a DVD player or through a special patch cord connected to a laptop. The soundbar would be looking for the audio output. This is the "old" version where they offered an analog (1/8" stereo) output and a digital output. The next year model only offered a digital audio output.

You could. If you have a sound bar that’s ARC compatible you should connect to HDMI 3. If your sound bar isn’t ARC I would use optical audio out. I use optical audio option so I don’t use an HDMII port for sound only.
