Put the soundbar in pairing mode. The steps to do this vary by model, but you’ll usually have to press a button on the soundbar for the computer to detect it. [1] X Research Source
- Check your soundbar’s manual for your model-specific steps.
- Some soundbars will automatically enable pairing mode.

Turn on Bluetooth. Locate the “Bluetooth” box, which has a small icon that looks like a tilted bow. [2] X Trusted Source Microsoft Support Go to Source
- If the box is light and shows “Not Connected” (or shows the name of the connected device), Bluetooth is enabled.
- If the tile shows “Bluetooth” and is bold, tap it to turn on Bluetooth.

Using the AUX cable
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f2/Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-Soundbar- to-PC-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f2/Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-7- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Turn on the soundbar.

- If the soundbar is powered by power, plug the power cable into a wall outlet or long outlet, then press the power button.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4a/Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-Soundbar- to-PC-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4a/Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-8- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Plug one end of the AUX cable into your computer’s audio port. Plug the 3.5mm jack into the port with the small headphone icon printed. This port is usually located next to the port used for the keyboard of a laptop or on the front of a desktop computer.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e1/Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-Soundbar- to-PC-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e1/Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-9- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Plug the other end of the AUX cable into the soundbar. The location of the end of the cable will vary by device, but usually the port will be labeled “AUX.” Once a connection is made, Windows will automatically play the sound through the soundbar.
Using optical audio cable (Toslink)
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/26/Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-Soundbar-to-PC- Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/26/Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Connect- Soundbar-to-PC-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Turn on the soundbar.
- If the soundbar is battery powered, insert the battery, then press the power button
- If the soundbar is powered by power, plug the power cable into a wall outlet or long outlet, then press the power button.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a9/Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-Soundbar-to-PC- Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a9/Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Connect- Soundbar-to-PC-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Insert one end of the Toslink cable into the soundbar. If the soundbar has a Toslink port (also known as an audio optical cable), you can use an optical audio cable to connect it to your computer. Ports are usually labeled “TOSLINK” or “OPTICAL.”
- Toslink is a standard audio optical cable commonly used to connect home theater systems to digital electronics, such as DVD players. [3] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/eb/Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-Soundbar-to-PC- Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/eb/Connect-Soundbar-to-PC-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Connect- Soundbar-to-PC-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Insert the other end of the Toslink cable into the computer. The port is usually labeled “TOSLINK,” “OPTICAL,” or “DIGITAL AUDIO OUT.” (DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT). If you are using a desktop computer, it will be on the back. If it’s a laptop, it’s likely that the port will be on one of the sides. Once connected, the computer sends all sounds through the soundbar.
- Some thinner laptops may not have a TOSLINK port.
