1. I use my TCL Roku TV without internet
2. Optical audio on soundbar broke so needed replacement (we don't talk about HDMI ARC)
3. New soundbar works but universal remote stops working
4. See "without internet" for problem
5. Gets new universal remote
6. Controls TV (albeit none of the codes for TCL worked and I had to spend 20-30 minutes having the remote go through every possible code)
7. Gets remote to control soundbar power and mode
8. ...But not sound
9. This is my story (with photos of kokeshi dolls and gingerbread men)

Replacing sondbar and configuring remote

I had work to do after the optical audio port on my Yamaha soundbar broke and my universal remote stopped controlling my internet-deprived Roku TV.

I forgot to highlight my Linux take when I first posted. I use my desktop computer as my TV media center since my TV is right next to my monitors (it is closer to the computer than my monitors, in fact). My main desktop environment is XFCE -- I must say the GUI display manager for switching between monitors and saving configs is excellent.
