I just bought a Roku for the living room cause we canceled direct tv However we used a sound bar that hooked up via optical cable from the soundbar to direct tv box for sound since I believe the tvs speakers are blown out. Now that there’s no direct tv receiver how can I hook up the sound bar with the Roku? My rca tv doesn’t have an optical cable or hdmi arc but it Does have the red/white rca cables as well as the sound bar..if I connect them to each other will the tv have sound with the Roku on? Roku - hdmi - tv Soundbar - rca - tv

Will I get audio out of soundbar when Roku is on ?
