I have a vizio SB3651-E6 sound bar and trying to hook to my 46 inch Sharp TV. HDMI outlets on back of computer all say they are "input". The instructions for the sound bar says I should use only "output" HDMI...nothing indicates ARC. There are outlets for "digital audio output" and I have the RCA cable hooked there, but nothing gets to the sound bar. No relevant settings can be found on TV...ie., now "search for device"...I'm lost!

Your sound bar has a lot of inputs for audio, see what your TV has for outputs and use one of those

Analog Audio Input3.5mm stereo mini jack
Digital Audio InputOptical (Toslink)
Digital Audio InputRCA (Coaxial/SPDIF)

If you are not getting sounds from the RCA cable, you are using the wrong output type on the TV to that input.
