So i have a sharp tv. Flatscreen yada yada. It has analog audio output plugs (the red/ white cable) and i bought a sound bar that has an optical audio cable it came with. But it also has a plug for the aux style part of an RCA cable. So i obviously bought the male to male RCA cable i need to make it work (or so i thought) . And whatya know ...it doesnt work. So i tried a converter from optical to analog. That didnt work. Anyone got any ideas??? Please
TIA

I need more information in order to sufficiently answer this question.

Are you making sure to turn the sound bar on and is the tv switched to the right output mode?

Please upload or pm me the model number of the sound bar and a couple pictures of the cable you have ran from the tv

It is a sony HT-CT390
The tv only has one output section. And it has a the red/white female ports. All other plugs are input. Do i have to change tv audio settings maybe? Idk

There way be something wrong with your ports in your tv if none of them are working right. The sound bar should be receiving input if the tv is plugged into it
