this one – its great for the price but nothing impressive. I might upgrade it at some point but I have also considered getting a speaker/subwoofer combo

Does the TV have a headphone out (3.5 mm) port? Depending on the age and quality of the TV, it may not support digital audio out over HDMI, and it almost certainly won’t support volume adjustments through the TV remote with HDMI CEC. Better option may be some cheaper powered computer speakers hooked up with a 3.5mm plug. Would allow you to retain the volume controls on the TV remote as well.
Some like this are also USB powered, which might allow you to just plug it into the TV’s USB port (assuming it has one) rather than taking up another wall outlet. You’d want to confirm the power draw and how much the TV outputs as well: https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Speakers-Desktop-Speaker-Cellphone/dp/B08C4P78DK/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=computer+sound+bar&qid=1614104322&sr=8-8#customerReviews
I don’t have any experience with this particular produce, but there are thousands like it on Amazon. Just search computer soundbar.
I realize your wife doesn’t want to replace the TV, but anything significantly more expensive than this, and it begins to look like the better option as you can get 32 and 24″ sets for under $100 these days.

this one – nothing special honestly. If you have more to spend, I would get something nicer.

Buy a Nest Mini or Dot for $30 when on sale. Buy a $20 USB powered PC speaker(s) that will sound better.
