Solved! No Audio For DVR Recordings back to TV

[AllyJ]

I have an LG TV connected to Vizio sound bar with an optical cord. Our DVR is connected to the TV via HDMI. When changing from DVR recording back to TV, we lose audio. Same issue occurs after pausing DVR. Audio is restored by turning TV off and on again (not DVR or sound bar).

Any suggestions?

If your DVR has an optical audio out try connecting that directly to the soundbar to see if the problem still happens.
Does the problem occur with the internal TV speaker too?

Why not connect the soundbar directly to the DVR?
