Have 32in Samsung LCD in the mancave & decided to look into hooking up a sound bar to it.... no god damn audio output. The tv is hooked up to my laptop and xbox. What are my options? Just buying speakers for the laptop? I'm a retard when it comes to this shit. For the xbox run the hdmi to your tv. Disable audio over hdmi. Then plug an a/v cable from the xbox into the sound bar, only the red and white ones. You will have to cut the plastic edges off the audio/video cabke that came with the xbox. Cut it until you get to the metal casing. It will then fit alongside the hdmi. Foe the laptop just use a 3.5 mm to stereo rca cable. Or 3.5mm to 3.5mm depending on your inputs of the soundbar. |

Some sound bars accept two HDMI inputs and have one HDMI output to the TV.

You're going to need a receiver of some type. Here's a decent home theater in a box for $200. It would give you more versatility than just a sound bar.

Thanks everyone. I wanna punch the Radio Shack kid in the throat. See a port that could be an optical port but it has a small cover on it and is labeled "service"

You will have to use the headphone jack for audio out.

I think the Samsung soundbar that Costco sells has 2x HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output.
Run Xbox and laptop HDMI to soundbar, another HDMI cable from soundbar to display. It isn't audiophile quality but not too bad. Comes with a Bluetooth subwoofer too. |
