How can I utilize my Samsung sound bar with Chromecast?

[AC Question]

Utilizing my Samsung sound bar with chrome cast.

I hooked up my chrome cast to my tv Hdmi port, I have a Samsung wireless sound bar, but when I go to use the chrome cast, the sound only comes out through the tv speakers. I've tried changing sources on my sound bar but nothing happens. Am I missing something obvious? Let me know if you have any tricks I can use. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Android Central! How is the sound bar connected to the TV? In order for the Chromecast sound to come out of the sound bar, it would have to be connected directly to the TV's audio output (if available).
