If you have been following me for a while, you’d know that the most challenging task for me is nothing related to my work. It is to convince my parents to give up on the old technology and adapt to the new. But last weekend was a little different as my parents finally took a plunge and bought a new TV. They invested in a Roku TV and have been impressed with its latest technology. My father is happy with its picture quality, and I am delighted that he won’t have to kick the TV at a specific spot to turn it on like he had to with the older one, occasionally,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To my surprise, when the salesperson recommended my father to buy a soundbar to go with the TV, instead of saying, ‘No, thank you!’, he discussed it with me and bought it. He then looked at me and said, ‘What’s the fun in watching TV without great sound!’ Trust me, I wasn’t in shock; I was astonished! I took a few minutes to process my father’s changed behavior and started researching how to connect the soundbar to Roku TV. Interestingly, I found out that there are more than one ways to connect the soundbar to Roku TV and the methods work for soundbars from most brands, like Onn, Samsung, Vizio, etc. Hence, I decided to write an article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may connect a soundbar to your Roku TV using more than one method. These include connection by an HDMI cable, AV cable, optical cable, Bluetooth, or WiFi. While Bluetooth is a more common way to connect a soundbar to Roku TV, HDMI cables offer the most consistent and best audio experience.
This article will discuss how to hook up Roku TV to the soundbar using different methods. But before that, let us understand what a soundbar is and why it is becoming so popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is A Sound Bar And Why Is It Becoming Popular?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A soundbar is a bar-shaped box containing several speakers designed to work with your TV. The soundbar sits below the screen to give your TV an audio boost. These speakers are easy-to-install and work great in replacing the TV’s built-in speaker system.

As a matter of fact, most TVs are not built for sound. The modern, sleek designs make it all the more difficult for the manufacturers to add a robust sound to the TV. To level up the sound game of your TV, the only option is to connect a better external speaker. To avoid the nightmare of tons of extra cables with the speaker, most people these days prefer a soundbar as it eliminates the need for extra cables. While it does not match up with the experience of a surround sound system, they are still a great alternative because of their price, size, and ease of installation.
