Roku Streambar - Surround Sound Setup

If I am wanting to achieve 5:1 Surround Sound with: my Roku TV, my Roku Streambar, my Roku Subwoofer & Roku Wireless Speakers do I need to use the Roku Streambar to stream and connect audio devices to it or can I use my Roku Tv to stream with wired streambar for sound and connect my audio devices to the tv.

I'm sure I overcomplicated this. In short. Do I run all my audio devices through the Roku TV or the Streambar to achieve 5:1 Surround Sound?

    Just plug them all in and follow the on screen instructions for adding the wireless speakers.  Pretty simple.

      I have them all plugged in, to light pipe, no sound!  Is there any other set up or linking?
