Despite admins marking posts about he various 1050/1051/1100 firmware updates causing soundbars to cut out randomly as solved, this issue persists even if you try the solutions they’ve posted. I’m still having the problem on my Q990D.View Post

Recently my Samsung TV updated I believe (made me sign back into Samsung on tv). Since then my sound system sounds off. Music low, voices way to loud (horrible for musical movies), bass is not as loud as it used to be even when all the way up. Any one else experience this recently?View Post

I have been reading reports that the new firmware 1050.4 are also damaging people's soundbars similarly to the 1020 fiasco. Have not seen many other reports or information regarding this firmware. Has anyone upgraded successfully without any issues?View Post

Ok so this sound bar is new to me, so I wanted to find out the best way to connect external devices like a cable box and/or gaming system. Currently I have cable box plugged into the HDMI 1 port on the sound bar and the sound bar connected to the TV's arc hdmi port. Is this the correct way? Or is itView Post

I have the Samsung HW-Q930F and recently the sound coming from the soundbar is tinny/crackly and can’t figure out why!

Been owning the Samsung Q990F ever since it was released.
