“Hi! I've looked everywhere but can't find how to program the Hisense remote to control our Vizio soundbar. Does anyone know how to do this? I love the Hisense remote w/ Google Assistant so I don't want to switch to a universal remote.”

This is weird. The TV remote controlled the volume on both the TV and the Soundbar upon installation. I was stoked. I went through the updates. It no longer works. Please help.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You don't "program" the remote to control the soundbar, there is no "remote code" to enter into the H8F's remote. The soundbar needs to be HDMI-ARC connected to the H8F (HDMI1 on the H8F, and an HDMI2,0 port on the soundbar). HDMI Control needs to be enabled in both devices, ARC Audio needs to be enabled on the H8F. Then, the H8F remote will automatically raise/lower/mute volume on the soundbar, via HDMI-ARC/CEC; not via a "code." If the soundbar is connected via optical audio or analog audio, then the H8F remote will never control it. In this case, if the soundbar has its own remote, there might be a control code to get the soundbar remote to exert some measure of control over the H8F. That control, if possible, will likely be incomplete and disappointing, if not frustrating. Good luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It was very easy for me due to my bose sounbar being able to connect via HDMI- ARC HDMI, if your sound bar doesnt have an HDMI port like my friends the you might want to consider doing it via bluetooth as the optical plug in on his samsung soundbar did not want to work and we tried for 30 minutes straight. We finally gave up and just connected it via bluetooth pairing from the tv.
