I have a Samsung TV, am trying to connect it to my iLive sound bar with the optical cable. The sound comes out but very low. Tried connecting with HDMI cable but there was absolutely no sound. When I tried the red & white audio cable, same result, no sound. I have AT&T U verse.
 
Solution
Using the optical cable check the TV audio or set up menu.
Make sure the optical output turned on. You may need to set it to PCM stereo. The TV speakers may also have to be turned off.
Make sure you selected the optical input on the soundbar. It's fine to turn the soundbar up as high as you want. There's nothing wrong with it having the volume setting high so long as it sounds OK.

Yes, l checked the sound bar, it plays music loud and clear. Even did the TV sound test which was also loud & clear. Checked the settings which are all correct. I am using the optical cable which lit up that shows it is connected,
