Thanks a lot @MATech. I’ve learned a lot than I expected. I just ordered for an Audioengine s6 sub to work with my Hisense Hs 205 2.0 soundbar but my Tv ( wc is not smart) has no optical ports rather HDMI arc, rca’s and an aux port. I was thinking of using an aux splitter to connect the sub and the soundbar.(wc has optical, usb, aux, hdmi arc and coaxial, plus Bluetooth). Is there any better way to go past this set up?? Will be grateful for your insights.

You can get hdmi splitters (another viewerer also had a strange setup and he ended up using that) which will allow you to split the signal to various devices but depending on the inputs of the sub and soundbar you may need a few connections between them to make it work. Also lip sync may be an issue so prioritise the soundbar and then set the sun below 80hz crossover and you shouldn’t be able to discern it. Another option is to use an external dsp but that obviously involves more cost.

I was searching about a day for this video I knew it was possible thanks.

Hi I need some help, I have an LG Wallpaper TV that comes with the soundbar/TV brain box all built into one unit. The soundbar has zero bass, I'm currently using another LG soundbar with sunwoofer hooked up to the brain box/soundbar via optical cable. I pretty much have 2 soundbars but not using the main one, is there a way to hook up a subwoofer to the oem TV soundbar through optical or any other way so I can eliminate the second soundbar? Please help!

The optical out is always outputting sound regardless how you have it setup. Firstly you want your main soundbar that you are using to be connected via hdmi to the brain, secondly take the optical out from your main brain to an external sub like in this video to add extra bass. You will need to reduce the crossover below 60hz to prevent you getting a delayed bass response as frequencies that low aren’t as noticeable (the added devices delay the bass compared to if the sub was connected straight to your actual soundbar, if that makes sense).

I also have two 2.1 subwoofer system can i play sound in both of them using 1 AV cable and another using 3.5 mm jack connector using your DAC converter.

As fyi, My TV audio output ports are Digital audio out/Toslink and HDMI ARC. No RCA and Digital coaxial out. Thanks MA Tech.

Yes this method will work, you just need to get a relevant adapter for your tv outputs and it has to convert to a analog signal for your active subwoofer. The 1 issue you will most likely have is syncing the bass to the audio from the tv. There’s 2 workarounds for this… 1- just set the sub to below 60/50hz or as low as you need to go before the sync no longer is an issue (lower the bass the less it needs to be in sync for it to still have the same impact) 2- use some sort of minidsp or similar to synchronise the bass to the tvs audio, this will incur additional cost and setup time. I did do this exact method for a while when I first got my projector and was happy with it to a point so it should definitely work for you also.

The sub will be filling in sound the original system can’t produce, it won’t take those signals from the original source but if you’re adding a sub I’m guessing the original setup wouldn’t be capable of it. Basically the issue you can have is at 120hz (thx spec) some deep voices will be played through the subs, but below 80hz it’s not discernible where the bass is coming from so if the timing is slightly off (ms) then it won’t be too noticeable.

If it works that's fantastic. The second question, Option two, assuming the option one volume doesn't work, can i use a HDMI splitter connected to the tv hdmi arc then one hdmi goes to the soundbar and the other goes to a hdmi to rca adapter then to the extra subwoofer ( don't know if that's possible and any downfall for this I.e lose ARC) also there are so many variant of splitters in the market. Also will it solve the delay problem you experienced at certain frequencies? Many thanks and keep them coming please.

Is this a general issue or to do with the setup in this video? The type of content shouldn’t make any difference as far as optical out aside from the fact that optical doesn’t support atmos but that’s not an issue as you’re only utilising LFE for this hack anyway. Most likely your issue will lie in one of the cables in the setup possibly being damaged. The final thing to check is the subwoofer and amplifier setup as what you’ve described also has symptoms of bad earthing within an amplifier but that would be last port of call if it’s working otherwise. Most tvs output optical all the time but some do need you to go into the settings of the tv and change it to allow arc + optical as well as setting the audio output method so may be worth trying them to see if that solves your issue.

Hi,I am from India n eventually came across ur solution. Trust me I have been looking for such a solution from almost 2 years now as I don't want to throw my soundbar its actually good . I have LG SP11RA 7.1.4 Atmos soundbar. But same as everyone i feel the thump & rumble is missing from Sub. I have LG OLED C3 connected to this via eARC & Android TV box connected to TV's one of the hdmi IN. So i need your help if u can guide me the exact device i have to purchase & i can invest in a wired good sub additional ... I would appreciate your your help here ... I hope this would work if i get a new additional sub. Apologies if i made it too long for you to read.

Everything needed is mentioned in the video, but the other issue you may have using that setup is audio sync so you’ll need to test with frequency to see if you can improve it or use external bass management to delay or advance the bass to the individual sub you want to add accordingly.

@@MATechKZread Ok .... If am getting it correctly then if wired sub is added so there will be mismatch in sound or delay with that coing out of the soundbar ? Then how do I control it , if this happens ? Is there any further device to control the delay as u mentioned with the new wired sub ?

Yes there’s devices you can use that manage external subwoofers, I can’t remember the name of the brand but you’ll probably find videos on KZread about the most common brands, they’re just external bass controllers that take a single subwoofer signal and usually split it into 4 that you can time align as required. You may be able to do enough via just the amplifier for the subwoofer but if not then external processors would be able to do it for you. You won’t know until you test in your setup.

Soundbar still connects via hdmi and any extra subs go through optical from the tv.

Is the delay really noticeable?

Only if you have the crossover set higher than 80hz, otherwise is not really noticeable as you can’t localise the bass below 80hz

⁠@@teesrakinaraI could not get mine working… so,it’s not straight forward…, probably due to deferent equipments….should have shown the cables hookup to the subwoofer. Oh well….I’m was just trying with an old subwoofer that I am selling, thought I tried it n if it works ,I will keep it.

Why don’t you jus use dts play-fi app to add a playfi subwoofer? This is dumb dude

How does that enable adding a subwoofer to non-compatible apps/devices or TVs that don’t have that at all?
