Use aux output of the TV if your speakers have such input

First check what Outputs are available on the Smart TV...usually a 3.5mm earphone port is there. Most have Optical Out and few with RCA.

Then see Edifier or Swans or other brands of 2.0 or 2.1 speakers which have the desired input connections, review based on how much volume or output you need and based on budget, make the purchase.

It may make sense to add a sound bar. Again check connection feasibility and budget and provision (space) to install a sound bar.

All the best!

My cousin had these old Aiwa passive stereo speakers which she wanted to connect to her TV.
Since she was not keen on stereo output, I used a small profile TPA3116 mono amp.
Took the 3.5mm output from TV to feed the amp.
Volume controlled from TV remote.

If your TV has any analogue audio output, you can take this route. If the output is optical, you will additionally need a basic DAC which you can buy from amazon for under 1k.
