buy something like this Monoprice 109296 3-Feet Stereo Male to 3.5mm Stereo Male Gold Plated Cable for Mobile, White to plug headphone jack (PC) to headphone jack (sound bar) or this Mediabridge 3.5mm Male to 2-Male RCA Adapter (6 Feet) - Step Down Design for iPhone, iPod, Smartphone, Tablet and MP3 Cases headphone jack to RCA depending on what is in the back of your vizio.

Can you get sound from the Tv from the connected computer? Some laptop models didn't have the sound capability built into the mini dvi ports. I know my (early 09) MacBook only pushes picture through, while my girlfriend's(10-11?) MacBook pushes sound and picture.. Go to your system preferences, and click sound. If there's an option to play through HDMI, then you can do it, otherwise, you can't.Check the settings on your computer, and on your tv. Some TV's won't push sound from certain ports to another without having 'external speakers' on and some other options checked first

You can add a Bluetooth adapter to one of the inputs for a Bluetooth source. But I don't think the sound bar has an output option.

If I understand the question you will have multiple devices hooked up to your TV via HDMI and you will use an optical audio cable to connect to the sound bar to play sound from the TV. Yes, the sound will play fine. I have the same set-up for mine. You just need to make sure the "function" is switched to "optical" on the sound bar to have it work.

Ok, guys I'm old and new to this stuff, so be pateint... How does a sound bar work. Is it hooked to the TV and instead of the sound coming from the TV it comes out of the sound bar and I'm assuming the sound is much better. Can you contol the sound volume with a Directv remote or the TV remote. Thanks in advance... Mike

Use a digital cable to connect the soundbar to your TV - Bingo its works very well . No other cable or connection is required

Either a digital optical or coaxial optical cable. Your TV most certainly has an output for one or both of those, which will connect your TV to soundbar. It should also work to transmit sound to the sound bar from devices plugged into your TV via HDMI(cable box, dvd, Xbox, etc). I have my unit connected with a coaxial digital cable and t sounds great and also has the bonus of not tying up and HDMI input ont TV because I use them all already.

I just have the sound coming from the TV's coaxial to the soundbar. It plays the sound from what is being shown on the TV.

The DVI to HDMI conversion doesn't transfer sound. Other option would be to connect speakers for sound as the ones on monitor are not loud at all.

I have no problem with the sound. The speakers are like any other tv speakers. If you're expecting room jarring surround-like sound speakers to each side or a sound bar would solve any problem. Just FYI, I have a 65" Vizio in the living room. I purchased a factory refurbished Vizio soundbar from Walmart online (saved a lot!), but usually it is turned off---UNLESS I'm watching an action movie and want to feel like I'm in the middle of the action. Hope this helps. Hope it wasn't TMI. Would be interested in what you decide.

I do not know. Have not had the occasion to try that. Possibly VIZIO support could help you.

I installed my sound bar through my bluray player. I don't know if you're trying to plug in from your tv or what, but the sound should come from whatever is actually playing the media.

make sure the HDMI cable is plugged into the out jack on the back of your sound bar. you will also want to check your Vizio TV settings to make sure ARC is enabled.

I'm not sure but my suggestion to you is to try to find another sound bar cause the sound quality is not that good.

Hmm, well the tv is only really a monitor and wouldn't have anything to do with sound in this case right? Wouldn't you need to get the dolby sound from the broadcast source like your cable or directv box? e.g. connect your audio optical cord to the cablebox directly & plug directly into your HT setup.

VGA does NOT support audio...use a separate cord from the computer audio to the tv, etc. I purchased a vga cable that has an extra plug on the end...but had to get an extension to reach the speaker on the computer.HDMI DOES support audio...if you can use that and throw away the vga.

The sound on my Vizio is pretty good. I have three different Vizios and this one sounds the best. I do not have a sound bar on any of them. My wife wants to get a sound bar for her 42 inch Vizio. I would get a Vizio sound bar if i did get one.
