I'm trying to use a pre-existing soundbar system connected through an av receiver until I get a full surround sound system, but I can't get any sound. Samsung K550 soundbar with wireless subwoofer and rear speakers. I've tried connecting through ARC HDMI and digital optical, but no go. Any solutions?
 
Solution
HDMI ARC won't work with the receiver since it doesn't send audio but receives it (from the TV).
If the receiver has optical audio output that should work but I suspect the receiver only has optical inputs.
The soundbar isn't meant to work with an AV receiver. Connect it and your sources directly to the TV as intended.
