Our Samsung tv only has RCA connections for audio components while our new LG soundbar has HDMI and optical options for connecting to a tv. Has anybody used a HDMI to RCA cable before with success? I thought my tv had an optical connection so I didn't anticipate any problems when I purchased the soundbar. Thank you.

You can't use a HDMI to RCA cable. Doesn't work at all except for special applications. If your TV has ARC out via HDMI you can use an audio extractor like this one

If your TV has analog audio outputs (not inputs) then you can use an ADC like this one

if your soundbar doesn't have an analog aux input.
