Seasons1992 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 My Roku's do NOT have optical outs. It goes from the TV directly into my soundbar. It's not mounted so I'm useless to this conversation. You can get more helpful insight from me in your Favorite Cereal thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 If the Roku doesn't have a separate audio out you can get this converter on Amazon for about $30. It will take the HDMI feed from the Roku and split out the audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRBills Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I would just take a grinder to the tv mount, probably the easiest fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attach a few pics. There has to be a mechanical solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 So I have Sony Soundbar that is connected to my LG tv with an optical cord. The problem is that connection point for the optical cord is in the back of my TV in the middle and that's where my wall mount attaches to. With the mount right there, the optical cord is getting pinched so I get a lot of static. The Best Buy guy I talked to yesterday stated that my best option would be to by an Arc Adapter and have my sound ran through HDMI. I just talked to my friend and he said the sound quality from HDMI isn't as good. He said I should be able to run the optical cord straight from my Roku into my sound bar and I would be able to get audio....the sound bar doesn't need to be connected to my TV at all. I'll have to check my Roko box to see if I have an optical port. Is that the best option I have to solve the static issue? Any other suggestions amigos? My son has a sound bar. I like his sound bar a lot. I want a sound bar, and money isn't an obstacle. Everything you typed (whatever it actually meant, because I have no idea what that was about) is my obstacle. Best Buy is full of clowns......I just need some geeky person to hook me up and make it work. Everyone claims to know what they are doing, and most are just pretending. Sadly, I don't know enough to tell who the liars are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 I would just mill out the part of the mount that's 'pinching' Mission complete...my dad came over with his grinder last night. I would just take a grinder to the tv mount, probably the easiest fix This is what we did: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
