I currently have a Sony Receiver with five small speakers and a sub-woofer that is going out. Every so often I get a loud pop out of the left rear channel. Since we only use it for TV noise I figured a simpler sound bar would be good enough.
I gotta install it for a good friend of mine who refuses to get hearing aids so anything that's loud for him to hear. Thanks for the reminder.
Carry on...
not too pleased with the soundbar (Bose I think) I bought. You have to use the remote on it to adjust the sound level, and turn it on and off. The one on the TV remote doesn't do anything... kind of annoying.

Same issue. Bought a Bose a few years ago from Costco. Maybe a little better than the speaker in that 55" Samsung but not by much.
Been looking at the selection of Costco. Vizio, Sonos and Bose are the in-store choices. Looking at the Vizio with sound bar, sub-woofer and two satellite rear speakers for like $200. I am no audiophile and am hard of hearing. Hope the Vizio will work be fine. Otherwise, I'll return it and buy something better.

I still ❤️ You though.
Can't you just run the audio out from the TV (either RCA jacks, headphone jack, or some have fiber-optic) to the audio in on the sound bar? Set the sound bar volume to something like 50%. Put the sound bar remote out of the way so the old man doesn't get confused with too many remotes.
Then the TV remote can be used to adjust the volume. That's how I set up the one I did. It was a cheapie Onn from Wally World for something like $35. Nothing fancy but it serves its purpose.
