Zvox speaker Connected with Optical Cable

Have a Zvox speaker connected to my tv with an optical cable.  Roku device only recognizes the tv audio system. I would think optical cable connection would work since it is hard wired and the tv is set to use the optical connection.

Re: Zvox speaker Connected with Optical Cable

Hi, @Bounder.

Welcome aboard! Glad to see you here in the Roku Community!

Thanks for sharing your setup with the sound system for your Roku device. We're here to assist. 

The setting must be configured on your TV's audio output, and you must make sure that all sound is going out to the speaker. You might need to contact your TV manufacturer or review your TV's manual for this setting.

Re: Zvox speaker Connected with Optical Cable

@Bounder, it's not clear what you're asking.  The Roku device would have no idea that there's a speaker connected to your TV via optical.  The Roku device sends audio to your TV and it's up to the TV to send it to the speaker.
