Adding external speakers-TV

[ihrsetrdr]

I had a similar issue with sound on account of the fact that I don't hear so good.

I bought a Vizio 36 inch 2.1 sound bar from Best Buy after doing a bit of research. It connected via the optical cable and a power cable. The sub woofer was wireless to the sound bar and I plugged it into power behind the couch. Fixed my hearing issue and wasn't too intrusive or expensive.

I'm still receptive to the idea of getting a soundbar or some kind of center channel speaker, with the optical digital connect.

Update:

I enlisted the help of my neighbour, who is an "audio aficionado "(be a good name of a forum mod, huh?), he discovered one important aspect of my [failed] installation:

that I had not taken off the little clear plastic caps from the ends of the TOS cable.



Just didn't see 'em.


Happy day, the set-up is running external speakers like a champ!

Hell I even checked the Pic you posted earlier in the thread (because I did the same thing a little while ago) and thought the plastic wasn't there. Glad you got it figured out though. Double points to me because I was going to suggest the correct solution but didn't

...I'm going to see if I can do a return on the digital optical audio adapter, will eat restocking fee,

return shipping and go on from there.

Just to update, I had contacted the seller about a return, he said he'd do a refund, and not to worry about returning the adapter.

However, since getting the unit working, I wanted to go ahead and pay the seller, so after some confusion(on their part) they invoiced me, and provided a payment link. So, I paid them. Case closed...?

Well, today I get an email stating:
