I bought a creative bluetooth roar pro speaker to enhance the tv sound of LG smart TV. It cannot be connected as speaker only

Creative pro speaker with aux input only but LG smart tv with optical output and hdmi arc.... what to do?

If the TV has a headphone jack use that.
If not you need a DAC to convert the TV optical out to analog for the aux input on the speaker.

I use the first one on this link.
This is a fixed output so you would have to change the volume on the speaker.
