Hi papouspavlos
Welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.
Please keep in mind that I am no expert in this area (we are all Apple users, like yourself in this community). Am thinking your request surely deserves a response.
Maybe those with expertise may join the discussion, once underway. It would be helpful if you let us know which Mac OS is installed on your MacBook Pro M1.

You might want to check the directions that came with the soundbar, to become familiar with how it works, and what you can do with it.
Eg: If the soundbar works with Mac, is there any software (eg: an app) to install on the Mac, or relevant MacOS compatibility info ? Eg: You may need a MacOS update.
Else: check online for any info. from Yamaha, about how to use the soundbar.

Wondering if you want to use the soundbar for music ... or games ...maybe for movies, or Apple TV .... or "all of the above".
Also: If the soundbar is compatible with your Mac,
You may find this Apple support article can help:

All the best :-)
Dear brbo,
Thank you for your responce, I really appreciate your suggestions I will check these out, the current OS is Ventura 13.1. The soundbar has the most uptodate firmware, and I have no issue using it with my iPhone...But even when I turn bluetooth off on my iPhone and even though the Macbook indicates the YAS-108 as connected no sound comes out from the soundbar...in any case I will review your suggestions.
Thank you again.
You are most welcome!
Mmmm .. changing the sound output settings (link above) may be well worth trying.
The Yamaha may show up as an output device you can choose in the settings, so the sound goes to the soundbar instead of through the Mac's inbuilt speakers.
Cheers :-)
