How to Install a Home Theater : Cables & Wires for Home Theater System Setup

[Poodleinacan]

I can't figure how to enable my optical connection from my PC to my sound bar...

It's connected, but even if I enable the optical sound-thing in the settings, there's no sound... I can only get sounds from my TV (which is connected to my PC with an HDMI cable)...

(My PC has an "THX audio card")

Ultimate home theater:

Video>HDMI

Audio>Optical (not hdmi ....even though signal passes through it too)

I got some speaker wire with the wire on one end and rca jacks on the other end at radio Shack here. I would try there where you live.
