Insert one end of a Toslink cable into the soundbar. If your soundbar has a Toslink (also known as optical audio) port, you can use an optical audio cable to connect it to your PC. The port is usually labeled "TOSLINK" or "OPTICAL."
- Toslink is a standard optical audio cable typically used to connect home theater systems to digital electronics, such as DVD players.

Insert the other end of the Toslink cable into your PC. The port is usually labeled "TOSLINK," "OPTICAL," or "DIGITAL AUDIO OUT." If you're using a desktop PC, it should be on the back panel. If you have a laptop, it's likely on one of the sides. Once connected, your PC will send all audio through to the soundbar.
- Some slimmer laptop models may not have a TOSLINK port.
