buy something like this Monoprice 109296 3-Feet Stereo Male to 3.5mm Stereo Male Gold Plated Cable for Mobile, White to plug headphone jack (PC) to headphone jack (sound bar) or this Mediabridge 3.5mm Male to 2-Male RCA Adapter (6 Feet) - Step Down Design for iPhone, iPod, Smartphone, Tablet and MP3 Cases headphone jack to RCA depending on what is in the back of your vizio.

no i ran across the same problem and forgot that dvi does not carry sound, only hdmi does. so you would have to find another alternative or use a separate cable for the sound

Do you have a cable box? If so try going from the cable box to the sound bar..

Hi - think you can still have your sound come from the computer. It has been awhile since I used the sound feature...

That'll work. What I did since I have multiple things connected to my tv (gaming system, satellite, blue ray player), I have all these things connected to my tv via HDMI cable with the tv connected to the soundbar via optical cable; I get to utilize the soundbar for all my connections this way.

Connect to your tv. The sound comes from the sound bar when you set your tv to source the sound

Yes, go into your system preferences and click on sound (second row from the top, all the way on the right). Then under the output tab, click on your tv. Hope this solves your problem :D.

I don't have a Vizio soundbar but if there is a optical input in your Vizio it will work for sure as there is only one standard for interfacing optical inputs/outputs.

Can you get sound from the Tv from the connected computer? Some laptop models didn't have the sound capability built into the mini dvi ports. I know my (early 09) MacBook only pushes picture through, while my girlfriend's(10-11?) MacBook pushes sound and picture.. Go to your system preferences, and click sound. If there's an option to play through HDMI, then you can do it, otherwise, you can't.Check the settings on your computer, and on your tv. Some TV's won't push sound from certain ports to another without having 'external speakers' on and some other options checked first

Most sound bars support either optical audio or HDMI for best quality configuration. It may be unclear which will provide the best sound. Both optical audio and HDMI support multi-channel audio, like Dolby Digital, but HDMI is capable of transmitting slightly higher quality than optical. In any case, the easiest is to connect either optical audio or HDMI from your TV to sound bar. In summary, always connect the driver output source devices (e.g TV, DVD, Media player, etc.) into the sound bar via optical audio or HDMI (if supported). Avoid the analog connection like RCA cable.

Yes, buttt! The timing might be a little off and could sound simular to an echo effect. My sound bar is hooked up to optical connection. There should be a way to adjust this tv/soundboard timing, butt! I haven't researched this yet

i had no luck either. in fact i bought a new computer with hmdi and bought hp wireless connectors and the only way i get sound is to unplug my computer speakers. i still am trying to be able to use my surround system connected to the tv. good luck

Nope. This is an optical (digital) audio cable. Your sound bar is an analog input.

Yes we have a sound bar and have no problems. The screen beam only projects the computer's video. Sound all comes from the TV and attached devices.

I'm gonna say no. Just plug everything into your TV then use an optical cable to connect the tv to the soundbar. All sounds should play though the soundbar.
