I have a Bose Wave Sound System and want to improve the audio from my Samsung Smart TV Model 5200AF by connecting the two. Is this possible? I do not find "audio out" jacks on the TV. I saw the previous answer about using an HDMI switcher box. Is that the only solution? Thank you.

Your TV may have two kinds of audio outputs according to online specs.
First is a 3.5mm stereo headphone output. That would connect directly to the Aux input on the Bose.
Second is an optical audio output. You would need and optical to analog converter like this one

to connect the TV to the Bose.
If there are no outputs of any kind then short of modifying the TV you would need an external HDMI input selector with audio extraction like this one

This would not work with the TV tuner or smart functions since these are internal to the TV.
