I bought a Element tv and a craig soundbar. The tv I purchased does not have audio out. Is there a way to connect my sounbar or do I have to purchase a new tv?

If you use the TV's built in tuner then you either have to have an audio out or bluetooth. If you have a cable/satellite box then it may have an audio out. If you have HDMI input(s) but use the TV tuner right now, you could purchase an external tuner which has an audio out and use the HDMI input on the TV to display the picture. There are options, but they may not be straightforward.
