Question

Playbar to PC

I got a Sonos Playbar today and all my media is played through my PC. I don't use my TV default audio for anything. Is there a way to connect my Playbar to my PC or maybe my PC to my TV so I can use my soundbar. I know if I stream the audio there's going to be delay and I'm trying to avoid that. IS there any solutions to this issue or am I SOL?

    Can I just confirm, I can connect a soundbar to my PC if its got an optical output I use my PC for nearly all my media, I also have an Xbox One can I connect that also to the soundbar in conjunction with the PC ?

    Many Thanks


    Hi MrNiceHK,,

    You should be able to use your computer's optical output to connect to the PLAYBAR.

    I've purchased a second Playbar for my office and can confirm everything works perfectly through the PC SPDIF port including surround sound from my Play:3's. Just make sure your sound card can output Dolby Digital.
