- Connect the sound bar to the TV not the Optik box. If you're TV supports ARC on one of the HDMI inputs then that is the easiest. Another option is to use the digital audio out (optical) from the TV which would require you to adjust some audio settings to turn off the built in TV speakers. Consult your TV manualb if you don't know where the settings are.
If you connect the sound bar to the TV via ARC or optical then the TV will control the volume on top of any volume control at the source, be it the Optik box or something else like a Chromecast. Make sure you set the volume on the Optik box to max to get the full range of volume on the TV. You don't want to set the TV on max and use the Optik volume because it will be very loud if you switch TV inputs.
