Question Having trouble connecting my RCA smart TV to sound bar

[Prostyle]

Having trouble connecting my RCA RNSMU7036 smart TV to Tao Tronics sound bar... i’ve connected the optical cord but I am not getting a sound out of the sound bar. I’ve searched through TV set up menu and manual and can find no troubleshooting or actual instructions on how to make this work.

Could be a few things, you need to enable external audio and maybe disable the speakers in the TV menu, you need to set the sound bar input to the optical if it has more than one, or the optical cable or port is bad or not connected properly.
