Trouble Connecting soundbar via HDMI (arc)

by WestTX-Zia

Does anyone know how to connect the soundbar/surround sound system via the HDMI? All I can find is the Bluetooth connection. I have searched high and low on the internet but only see the Roku steps. Thanks in advance.

My surround sound is connected to my TVs HDMI arc connector, and the sound from the Google TV (in a non arc HDMI slot) plays through the surround sound just fine. I just need to make sure the TV sound settings are set to 'external speaker'.

It's not handled by the Chromecast (with Google TV) at all.
