<p dir="auto">I wonder if you are looking at an optical connector. This was standard a few years ago. I was lucky and happened to have both an Apple TV and a sound bar of the correct generation and used the optical cable to connect them to each other. I suspect that you may have to replace whichever of your devices is older in order to get to the current technology.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Seems like I’m a little late to the party, letting go of Spectrum TV in favor of AppleTV. Video is great, but I’m flummoxed at getting the audio to my external soundbar. HDMI takes everything to the monitor (LG), not a smart TV so I’ve got the AppleTV box. How do I get the audio to the sound bar? I don’t recognize the square-ish port that suggests a connector.</p>
