Optical cable not working on Sharp Aqous TV

[b_nicholl]

How do i hook up a samsung sound bar to a sharp aqous TV? I just recently switched my primary TV from a Westinghouse to a bigger sharp Aqous. I am having issues getting my soundbar working. My old tv had my chromecast, bluray, and cable box connected by HDMI and i just used an optical cable to get sound from all 3 to my samsung sound bar. Can't for the life of me get this to work on my sharp. Am i missing something? Also if i used an HDMI to the sound bar how would i connect it get soundbar sound from all 3 without changing cables all the time?

Did you turn on the optical output?
You may need to turn the TV speakers off and change the audio output type in the TV menu as well.
The manual should tell you how to configure the optical out to work.
