Do you connect your console to the TV or sound bar?

The why here is because your tv may not pass through the best signal.

I have mine going through the tv just because it's easier and my soundbar isn't anything special.

If someone can tell the difference they should upgrade from a soundbar lol

Even then running through some cheap switch isn't going to be any worse than a TV.

There is a definite difference when a better sound bar is used. Atmos is even more of a difference.

I have mine running to the TV and then sound bar, but I need the sound from streaming coming out the sound bar. It's just my bedroom though and the sound bar only handles dolby.

I would never send it to the TV with a receiver or top of the line sound bar.

I run cable box to tv HDMI IN and then out to Soundbar. I run PS4 Pro directly to Soundbar optical in. I don't watch many movies on TV...more regular programs and sports.

If you go to rtings they’ll be able to tell you which TVs do which.

My 2017 Vizio M series does 5.1 pass through with Toslink and it sounds awesome.
