Bluetooth soundbar connect to Roku TV

I would like to connect a Visio sound bar to my Insignia Roku TV using Bluetooth. Is this possible?

    DanStout  Thanks for the question. That isn't currently a supported feature. You'd need to connect an A/V receiver, speaker or soundbar to your TV via an HDMI or optical (S/PDIF) cable.

    I'd recommend reaching out to share your suggestion with your Roku TV manufacturer directly. I'll pass the interest along to our team as well. 

     

    Thanks,

    Tanner

Found a simple fix. Hookup your wireless sound bar to your phone and add the roku remote app. I now have the sound bar working with the TV.

Apparently they only set up wireless to work through the tv with a roku brand sound bar or speakers. Simple fix everything is now on the sound bar through the TV.

The Roku soundbar is not able to be connected wirelessly to Roku tv, it uses Hdmi-arc or Hdmi and optical.  So, all brands of Soundbars, even Roku have to wired to Roku tv.
