Sound Bar installation help

I have a panasonic sound bar with HDMI in and an optical in. The Panasonic Plasma does not have any hdmi outs neither does the blu ray player. I have the optical hooked up and it works but I do not think that is the best option. Any ideas?

#Re: Sound Configuration PLEASE HELPM Thank you for your response! Sadly, iTunes, and IE, and Aion do not have configuration options to select where you want the sounds to come out of. WoW does and I love them for it. I'd like to know why this is not standard practice in?applications these days. Also, I certainly dont know anything about programming but couldn't?Creative?build in a feature that detects different applications on your system and asks you where you want to hear each of?those apps?
Oh, and by the way, my headset (headphones) are USB. I notice you said "(or a USB headset)" which makes me think?since I am using?a USB headset (sorry i didnt mention that to begin with) then what i want to do is possible?
Basically what?I need to do is assign vent to one setting?(USB headphones) and all others to another setting (speakers)?Again, when I change vent settings, it changes it for the entire computer instead of just Ventrilo. Maybe a Ventrilo problem? Seems Creative should be able to handle this though.
Thanks again, I do appreciate your input

Sound bar for TV

I have a Samsung LED TV with a super picture. The tv is 2 years old. The only complaint I have with it is the sound. It seems like its muffled, mainly because the sound comes out of the back of TV and reflects off the wall. I was thinking maybe a sound bar would help this.
Anyone have a sound bar? Would it project the sound better? How does it connect? Does it require power and does it get turned on and off when I power the TV on and off?
Thanks, Jim

np, glad it helped. Not sure on this one ... haven't tried it. I think you'll still have to program your remote to control the sound.

How can I connect my new LG Sound Bar NB 3531A with my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 via Bluetooth

Hey,
bought a new sound bar and want to connect it to my MacBook Pro. When start pairing an error shows up telling me to check the Bluetooth range and so on. When I try to connect without a code (0000) there is a connection but it´s not possible to use the bar as a stereo headset in the bluetooth menue.
The Sound Bar should be ready to play because I can use it with my iPhone and on Win-notebooks.B
There are no system-updates availabe and I´m using OSX 10.8.4. Can someone help?
Best wishes from Germany

It seems that my bluetooth driver crashed or anything. Tried it with an other MacBook and worked fine. Called the Apple- and LG-Support.
The Apple-Supporter told my to reinstall my OS X. Crashed. I´ll start a complete new installation today.

How to setup a sound bar on LED TV 42SL417U

So I've been trying to figure out how to setup a sound bar that uses AUX Left and Right cables onto my LED TV 42SL417U. I've been trying to connect the cables into every possible port on the TV and nothing works. What do I do???

Hi -
What make/model of sound bar are you trying to connect?
The only "outputs" for sound to an external device from this TV are the Optical and HDMI connections. Page 18 and 19 of the Owners Manual talk about connecting to an external audio source.
Hope this helps.

Sound bar in IPad3 dissapeared?

Hello everybody. The sound bar in my IPad2 has dissapeared. At first it happened from time to time but now and I believe that this is something that have to be with any update has dissapeared. Can somebody help me?

Hi @clrknt30
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that your sound volume keeps automatically adjusting on you, normally upward. I am happy to help with this, and I did some digging looking for a possible cause.
A fix to try is, to go into the Control panel
then Hardware and Sound
then click on Sound and select the Communications tab
Select the option "Do nothing" then Apply
Let me know if this works for you.

Quantum TV, no sound from sound bar

I have a harmon kardon SB16 sound bar, connected via fiber to my Sony W850B TV. I just got the new 6 show dvr, connected to the tv via hdmi. My Roku and BluRay play sound just fine, but the Verizon box gives me nothing. All cables are known working. I've swapped all cables (known working to the Verizon box and vice versa) and nothing changes. The things that work still work, and the Verizon box does not.
Any help?
Thanks!

I am having the same problem with my new Media Server DVR unit. My DR is connected to the TV with HDMI and the TV is connected to the soundbar with an Optical cable. My DVD player is also connected to the TV by HDMI.
I get sound from the soundbar from the DVD player but not from the new Media Server DVR. (FYI - My old verizon DVR box works with the soundbar using the same connections).
Verizon told me to use the same suggestion as above by holding the 'D' or 'B' key on the remote to access the DVR menu. I set the HDMI output as directed and still no sound from the Samsung soundbar.
Any other Ideas?

Macbook pro will not pair with Vizio sound bar.

Macbook will not pair with Vizio sound bar. It has paired and worked fine in the past. in the menu bar at the top of the screen it says it is connected but it is not. when I open the bluetooth preferences and try to pair it says pairing failed. any help would be great. thanks.

Me too. sigh
All was well until this afternoon, when I swapped out the batteries on my trusty old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, which has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now. After I put new batteries in, my MBP wouldn't recognize it. I went through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and it "saw" the mouse and properly listed it as "Microsoft Mouse". I hit "continue", of course, and the Assistant said "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse". It got as far as "Connection established" (and I saw the mouse appear in the Bluetooth preference pane", but then I got the dreaded red words: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." Etc., etc. I made sure of all of those things and tried again, many times, with the same failure every time. I tried different batteries, rebooted the Mac, and so on. No luck.
Figuring my mouse was dead, I went out and bought a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse, brand new, never been paired with anything. Same problem!
Also, I can no longer get my Palm Treo 650 to sync via Bluetooth. It used to be a little flaky (often complained that the port was in use by another application), but rebooting the Treo always solved that. Now, it doesn't.
One trusty old mouse suddenly stops pairing, one brand-new one refuses to pair, smartphone won't sync any more. I haven't installed any system updates or anything else since the Microsoft mouse worked. The only weird thing going on is that I'm having massive network connectivity issues with my broadband connection (probably a flaky cable modem), and a couple of days ago I bought a new Airport Extreme a/b/g/n wireless router, which is at the other end of the house from my computer and now-defunct mice.
Very bizarre. Can the Bluetooth chip or antenna in a MacBook Pro burn out or otherwise fail?
Puzzled and frustrated,

Headphone sound bar not showing

on my ipod touch 4th gen the sound bar doesn't show when i plug in my headphones, but when i take them out the sound bar is there, like it should be!
can you help me?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

Sound bars...good idea or bad idea?

I am looking at purchasing a new HT system, but the Sony sound bars caught my eye. I know they can't fully sound as good as a true 5.1 or 7.1, but I like the idea of not having to run wires. Do they sound good with movies or just TV? Any help is welcomed.

The sound bars produced today are actually amazing. While they might not give you the range of a more expensive set, they are perfect for average home theater use. They use 3D sound technology to bounce off walls, creating artificial surround sound that actually impressive - the sort of technology you would of paid thousands of dollars for a few years ago.
I would not recommend sound bars for mainly music use - they are not designed for that. They are designed for home theaters - and if that is your purpose, and you don't wish to run a more extensive and expensive system, sound bars are great. They are arranged so that the speaking voice is louder and the music softer, which is a major failing of a big theater system which isn't properly set up.
Quick, easy, and simple the use is the advantage of a soundbar.
Limited options for more intense audiophiles is the disadvantage.

IMac and LG Sound Bar

Hi,
I have a late 2012 iMac 27-inch. I have an LG Sound bar that I want to use with the Mac for watching movies and playing music etc. I have paired the sound bar with the Mac via Bluetooth, it pairs fine and the sound comes through. However, the sound is not in sync with whats on the screen. When I used the sound bar on the tv I was able to access the menu and adjust sync etc either through the TV or the sound bar but the sound bar menu does not come up on the Mac screen when paired (I'm not surprised by this, I didn't expect it to). Any advice on syncing sound on an iMac or how to do it another way? Any help much appreciated!

This site covers JP1 programming, which is the connector in the battery compartment:http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/ I don't know if there is an existing code that may work, and you could do some key mapping to put the codes on the volume keys. Othewise, you would have to add your own upgrade using a JP1.x cable. You can ask on the forums to see if anyone knows something. I didn't see an obvious upgrade in the files section. Some of the more advanced people can use files from other remotes to create upgrades.

LG Plasma with a Samsung Sound Bar

Hi,
We just purchased a LG plasma TV and we already have a Samsung Sound bar. We are having trouble hooking up the sound bar to the TV. Does it have to be connected through optical part or can we connect it through a HDMI?
I hope someone can help!

I don't think your tv has an Audio Return Channel (ARC) but it depends on the model you bought. Not sure which Samsun soundbar you have but 450 doesn't have HDMI on it and I'm not sure if the 550 soundbar is capable of an ARC HDMi connection. Either way your best bet is to just use an optical cable. In the LG menu just tell the TV your using external speakers so it will use the sound bar only.
