How do I make my Genie deliver sound to this soundbar?

What kind of converter cable would I need? Attached is a pic of the genie and the inputs of the soundbar.

You have a couple of different options ....

1. Use the DirecTV dongle cable ....

to provide analog audio (red & white rca cable). Then you would need an adapter cable to feed the red & white rca audio connection to a 3.5mm cable for the soundbar's AUX IN jack. 

2. Use a digital audio converter to feed the Genie's RCA digital audio output to the soundbar's optical audio input. 

3. Connect the TV's audio output to your soundbar.
