Unable to connect Bose Cinemate series II to Directv genie

We bought a USB to AV cable and connected the genie to the Bose Cinemate series II but no sound comes out. Are we connecting it wrong, should we buy another type of cable?

All DTV receivers don't have any inputs only outputs and the USB ports only powers small devices or adding the long discontinued AM21 OTA tuner.

Connect Genie from A/V to whatever Bose or other device.

The USB port on DirecTV boxes is only for powering small devices (enclosure fan, etc.), or using the AM21 (discontinued years ago). It is not an output of audio/video
