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.

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.

I use a VGA cable to run my laptop off of my TV. However instead of hooking up an audio cable to the television I just plug in a small set of speakers to the laptop to increase the volume coming off of the laptop. It's really same thing, just that sound comes off of the computer instead. Just a suggestion and another option.

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.

No idea. At least, I never figured it out. The sound bar is about the worst conceived pieces of hardware I have encountered in a while. Avoid it.

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.

Awesome, thanks. So I guess running my PC into the TV first then just using the universal optical out from the TV to the soundbar would be optimal anyway.

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.

Most digital cable boxes have optical outputs now. If yours has it, hook the optical cable between your cable box and the sound bar and you should be good to go.

Connect to your tv. The sound comes from the sound bar when you set your tv to source the sound

You need nothing. You can connect the 3.5 supplied to your computer and then to the 3. 5 jack on the sound bar. The cable is short so a longer cable may be necessary.

The tv needs to have an optical out and the sound bar has the optical in, that'll send the sound thru the tv to the sound bar. If your not getting any sound from the sound bar it's probably in the wrong port.

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

I have Vizio 42" full HD tv and the vizio 40" sound bar. Like others have said the size of tv and the sound bar is irrelevant. Just center it under the tv to make it look neat. And the sound bar sounds great my vizio tv can be set to Pcm, Dolby etc. and everything works fine. Especially right now i have trans siberian orchestra DVD playing and it sounds great.

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.
