Control a Bose Soundbar with an optical audio connection
I have an older Bose Soundbar with an optical connection to a Samsung smart tv. I can't pair the remote to the soundbar to control the volume using the setup menu on the Roku. Is there a way to do ...
There is no way to control the TV's volume using the Roku TV setting menu, unless you are pairing it to a Roku TV, Roku Soundbar or Streambar. If you are pairing it to a Roku TV, Soundbar or Streambar, then it will work by WiFi as well. Through Roku's settings, you can program non-Roku audio devices.
A non-Roku AV receiver or soundbar can only be controlled via HDMI-CEC, the Roku controls the TV, then the TV controls the soundbar via HDMI-CEC. However, this won't work with optical.
