connecting Samsung soundbar with HDMI Input and Outputs

[Bmcmanus33]

How do I connect my Samsung soundbar which only has HDMI inputs and outputs to the Coaxial output from my TV. I know longer have cable or Satelite and get OTA and streaming through my Roku device. Is there a coaxial to HDMI converter?

What model TV do you have? Are you sure the soundbar only has HDMI inputs? It's a bit odd, every one I have seen has a digital/optical audio input if not more.

Samsung Model HW -E350/ZA. It does not have an optical port only HMI

There is a Aux in connection you can use. Depends on what your TV has for outputs though.

Yes, but the problem is the audio output on my TV is a digital coaxial output. So the question again is their a device that will convert a digital coaxial signal to HDMI?

If you are going from your TV to the soundbar, does your TV have an HDMI output? If not, then you need a digital to analog audio converter, they make those.

No, there is not a HDMI output. Why would I convert to analog? Isn't the ota signal I receive and any signals received streaming all digital?

If you want to use that soundbar with your TV, then you want to convert to analog.

There are mixers for digital audio and video to HDMI but not just audio https://www.walmart.com/ip/DVI-S-PDIF-Digital-Coax-Optical-Toslink-Audio-to-HDMI-Converter/39457804

Or you can try something like this for the antenna connections and use the HDMI output on that to the soudbar https://www.walmart.com/ip/iView-Digital-Converter-Box-Recording-Media-Playback-Universal-Remote-3500STBII/38774646?action=product_interest&action_type=title&item_id=38774646&placement_id=irs-106-t1&strategy=PWVAV&visitor_id&category=&client_guid=1a4ed8e7-4f9b-4852-9542-ea48d3f49d93&customer_id_enc&config_id=106&parent_item_id=39457804&parent_anchor_item_id=39457804&guid=35a46341-d57e-4993-b30d-9c593b31066e&bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&beacon_version=1.0.1&findingMethod=p13n
