Looking for a speaker

After looking at the television I would say that the speakers are likely at fault. This is a bargain basement designed to do everything as cheaply as possible, and speakers is one of the first places they will save money

Having looked at the item from the URL posted, it looks like a USB adapter for mic and speaker. Not an actual sound card.

Oh My GOSH! Hahaha! Thanks for the update!

I read that darn sound bar manual and I didn't see that!

I looked up the Samsung speakers you mention and it looks like the only type of connection they have is bluetooth.

There is a bluetooth app for your phone for a multi speaker setup.

Also, there's a way to connect the speaks to the samsung tv from the speaker manual that might work.

Connecting a Samsung TV to the speaker

Connecting to a Samsung TV via bluetooth (TV SoundConnect)

The TV SoundConnect function lets you conveniently connect a Samsung TV to an external

speaker wirelessly and listen to the TV's sound through the speaker.

1 Plug the WAM speaker into an outlet, and then touch the MOdEbutton on its top one

or more times until you hear “TV SoundConnect is ready.”

2 Touch and hold the MOdE button for more than 5 seconds to reset TV SoundConnect.

3 A pop-up appears on the TV asking you to approve the connection.

Approve to continue.

looks like your friend has speakers instead of a headset which leads to the echo effect

Looks like on those speakers they have a built in amplifier, so you would just go from Xbox to the speaker system, unless your amp receiver is going to be used as a audio switch for multiple sources and it has optical output as well.
