I'm about to break something, it's so frustrating. Just wanted to watch a movie, but nope.
I have a Samsung Soundbar that uses an optical cable and a Xiaomi TV 43". It worked before I updated the stupid TV.
I've pulled every other cable out, put speakers on the TV to S/PDIF. I've turned the TV off and on, pulled out the TV and back on. No problem with the Soundbar, just TV. Help me before I'll just break the thing.
Does you soundbar support HDMI Arc? Maybe you could use it that way instead of S/PDIF. Have you checked the tv audio configurations?
