I suspect your test shows that your soundbar gets its audio from your TV via HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC). I don't know this technology and I have no equipment to experiment with. From the descriptions I've seen the ARC uses different pins on the HDMI connector (and perhaps even sends different signals through these pins?).
