Does this work with TVs other than samsung? I have a Vizio. I've tried HDMI and analog hook ups and neither produces sound.

It should work with any tv that has the same cable entries you probably didn't set up the wireless , Bluetooth subwofer right. Fallow the steps to to set up the wireless subwofer that's the only thing I had a hard time hooking up.

I don't have a Vizio, I have an LG TV and it works just fine. I do not use the HDMI connector, for no particular reason. I do use the digital sound optical connector. I have used the HDMI in the past, and it worked fine, but I needed the cable for another TV and never bothered to get a new one for this one.

you have to find the audio output on the side or back panel of your vizio flat screen; not all hdmi ports are for output; one may be only input lets say for an xbox gaming system or playstation; most older lcd models only have a few audio output options; also you may have to set the output on your options; or you set it up right but your tv is set on the wrong input / output channel.

JUL, Most on the market - and almost every Samsung Audio Bar - will work just fine with your TV. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

I don't think this was designed to work with TV's but rather portable "Bluetooth" devices. If you are looking to attach an external speaker to your TV you should look into purchasing a Sound Bar. Amazon sells many varieties on their website.

I used a Vizio S3820w-CO for a few days until my digital optical converter came in and there were NO issues at all. The sound bar did sound better than the TV speakers, which are also not that bad at all. I needed the converter because the Samsung will not accept RCA type plugs for the audio output.

Hi Kathleen,I watch over the air HD all the time and my soundbar works fine. I can't think of anything that would make it not work. Possibly a setting on your TV?

The FiiO D3 Digital to Analog converter does work since my Vizio LED TV only has a digital output. I use it for my wireless stereo headphone set since my wife does not like a loud TV and gives good quality sound.

did you get your answer? I have the same tv and want to know if it supports audio return via hdmi

Like Peter said, not all TV's bridge the sound from an hdmi in to a stereo out(digital/coax etc..) Try using a different output port, or going hdmi to the stereo, and then hdmi to the tv

I tried everything and it didnt work for me...was stressful and time consuming to narrow down the issue..tech support from tvs ..galaxy... and hdmi cords...if you already have it...I hope it works for you...am waiting for refund..or?

I have 3 Vizio TV's from older to brand new. It works on all of them. I also notice that suprisingly channel, volume and off/on works on my LG TV too. My guess, and that is all it is, is that it will work.

I had the exact same problem with this tv. I eventually just muted the TV speakers and ran the sound exclusively through some external speakers that I have. That solved my problem.

I have a Samsung Smart Tv and had the same problem to begin with. I had to go into settings and enable the TV to send audio back down the HDMI cable. Not sure where that is on Visio. Also, make sure you use the proper HDMI plug on the receiver. Only one accepts audio from the TV. Of course, if your TV can't send sound as well as receive it thru the same HDMI, you'll have to use an optical cable or digital connection to get surround from your TV. Hope this helps.

Wish I could help but I have xfinity & it works just fine with my Vizio. The customer service reps are very helpful. Good luck :)

I'm having the same problem with my Sony, I just got a new Sony on Weds. and it doesn't work with the optical either, so I'm going to investigate further, By the way it DID work with a Samsung TV at my dad's house!

No ... this TV has an inferior sound system, and Vizio is unwilling to do anything about it. You might try hooking up the audio output jack to your stereo system for better sound.Update: Use the menu button on the remote to turn off surround sound, and this will dramatically improve the sound. But I still can't say much for Vizio Customer Service ... they were not helpful at all.

Hi Notorious A.G.A, Did you succeed receiving sound from TV to external speakers using an optical cable? It doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using "External Speakers" setting in the TV with the receiver powered on. I hear nothing.
