Can you access all of the ports on the ProScan PLDED4016A? There are some ports that face down (near the power cord) and others on the right hand side (as you face the back). The picture from the manual,
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1049754/Proscan-Plded4016a.html?page=8#manual , indicates a headphone jack and a coax audio output and analog RCA audio out. The headphone jack is at the bottom of the side input area below the component video and service port. The digital Coaxial and RCA Audio outputs are closest to the power cord.
The PC Audio port is an input when the TV is used as a monitor with a VGA connection to a computer. See
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1049754/Proscan-Plded4016a.html?page=12#manual for using the TV with headphones.
If the headphone jack doesn't work, you need some sort of converter or adapter. To use the TV's digital coaxial audio port with the optical digital audio port on the sound bar, you need something like this:

For the analog RCA audio output on the TV, you have multiple options. A simple RCA (M/M) to 3.5 mm (M) cable will work. So will various RCA audio/3.5 mm adapters, depending on where you want to put the adapter. (RCA (M/M) to 3.5 mm (F) is the simplest since you have the Aux cable.) These will connect to the Aux in on the soundbar.
You can also use an analog to digital audio converter,

I hope this helps.

(Years ago, the 3.5 mm to RCA cable was often in the accessories for connecting a portable CD player to a stereo system.)
