Help with TV and Soundbar (1 Viewer)

[LetsGo!]

Hello, we purchased the RCA RB24H2CU 12 Volt 24" inch HD TV, Freeview HD from Amazon and is nearly perfect for our needs apart from the sound.

As a result, i purchased a USB soundbar, which i was hoping i could just plug into the TV and it would magically work!

As you might have guessed, I'm getting no sound. Tried all the settings on the TV but had no luck. The sound bar works with blue tooth from my phone, but our TV as no blue tooth, any feedback or suggestions most welcome!

Does the sound bar only connect with Bluetooth?

 

[Figaro]

Is there an Auxilary input on the soundbar and a headphone socket on the TV ?

If so that should / might work ?

 

[Wjklewis]

Most TVs have a headphone socket. If your sound bar has an aux input, similar socket then all you need is a 3.5 TRS jack to jack lead. That should work

 

[Vanman]

According to Amazon your TV has an Optical cable output, so if your soundbar has an Optical Input then an Optical cable will suffice.

I’ve found it better to use 3.5 Jack if possible as I find you don’t get lag that you get with Bluetooth

 

[MichaelT]

Does it have an HDMI ARC socket?

 

[LetsGo!]

Sorry folks, just catching up, the sound bar only has the one cable (USB) coming from it which is hard wired in. No other ports at all on it. Its designed to be used with a PC so guessing this might be the issue. Think i will be returning it back to Amazon and look for a sound bar which is powered by USB but also has other connections available to connect to the TV.

If it has no other sockets than one USB but works with bluetooth to your phone it has to be bluetooth only.
Send it back to amazon.

 

[pappajohn]

It has a load of input/output sockets.
They must be behind a removable cover etc.

I think it is the soundbar that has no sockets, not the TV. I use the headphone jack with mine.

 

[pappajohn]

. Of course, dont know what i was thinking.

I’d be interested to know what sound bar you have. Would like one for our TV, would need to work off the headphones jack I think, with USB for power.

I bought one of these after a recommendation on here and find it excellent

I think soundbars are very personal preference, I bought one of those and sent it back because did like the sound or lack of volume, mind you I’ve tried 2 other types from Amazon and sent them all back.

 

[Figaro]

I find it has plenty of volume and a nice tone with some bass

Do a use the USB on the TV and a cable rather to the headphones jack rather than Bluetooth?

Okay thanks.

We have similar type and connect via external jack on tv as it outputs on both channels so you get an almost surround effect

 

[Sneds]

I think you need to be spending at least £100 to get decent volume and bass and treble seperation

Wanders from Glos I can’t find any papers for it unfortunately but it is a usb powered soundbar which I power from the TV usb port and I connect it to the headphone jack for sound. I’m bringing it home at the weekend so could look for a brand, if you wanted me to? I’m pretty sure I bought it from Amazon USA and had it shipped over because it was the best one re power and sound source and I couldn’t get it here. It was cheap, around £30/40 I think.
