Confirmed that all 3 HDMI in ports function. Unsure about optical, but should be fine as that was the way we used to use the system. Unable to test Aux as we do not have an Aux cable.

Good question. If it is broken it was broken from when bought, but I find it unlikely. We were able to connect it to our television with the optical cable, but just never able to make it an output, thus I am unsure of its status.

sounds complicated like my last relationship. GLWS bud

Update: I remembered incorrectly, we got it working, but were unhappy with the sound mixing, watching shows the talking would be too quiet and the action too loud.

Just tested and confirmed that it is still working.

Apologies for initial bad data.

well this doesnt scream confidence in this speaker set or the sale of it.... surely its just a setting you need to set for the voice audio to balance out with general audio?

Yeah, would be great if there was some way to adjust settings. Soundbar itself has 8 control buttons and controller has 18 buttons, with most buttons just being used for input switching.
