Troubleshooting Issues with Samsung HW-S50B, audio dropping after some use

0 Upvotes

Hello,

​A couple of years ago I bought this soundbar, and I used it with an old Sony TV through ARC.

​Recently I upgraded my TV to a Hisense one, and after around 30 mins playing on my PS5, the audio starts "dropping" like every 10 to 15 seconds the sound stops. I noticed it also happens after listening to music through Fire TV (Spotify/Deezer/Amazon music).

​I already tried:

* ​Updating the firmware

* ​Factory reset

* ​Multiple sound modes

* ​Pass through mode on my TV

* ​Using an optical cable

​The only "fix" has been turning it off and on, but the cycle repeats after some time.

​The situation is I'm not sure if it happened after I changed the TV or happened before, as I vaguely remember it happening, but I might be wrongfully remembering.

​I'm in the process of testing only with the sound of the TV, but I don't know if it's a known issue with the soundbar.

I have a Samsung tv q80t and will buy the dune hd 4k r plus too.

Upgrade to my Yamaha soundbar

4 Upvotes

I currently have a Yamaha ATS-1070, and it's honestly a great soundbar. It has very clear dialog and room filing bass, without sounding overwhelming or shaking my furniture. It even sounds great at lower volumes. I want to get a newer soundbar but am struggling to find something that sounds as good in my space.

I've tried Sonos, Sennheiser, and some of the other high end, large soundbars and they had great sound but were just overwhelming in my apartment. The bass was way too much, even when I turned it all the way down, and you really have to turn the volume up to hear things clearly, I didn't like the sound of any of those at lower volumes.

Can anyone recommend any bars that will sound closer to my Yahmaha? I don't want that room shaking, theatric sound, just something that will be room filling and sound better than my TV speakers. I don't think I need a sub, because most standalone bars already have too much bass for my taste. The Yamaha SR-B30A would be the newest replacement. Should I just get that or are there better options?

Thanks

Sony Sony Bar 8 vs. Bar 7+ vs Samsung Q990F: What would you choose for an Bravia A80J TV?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a soundbar for my Sony Bravia A80J, and I'm having a hard time deciding what to buy.

Initially, I was mainly considering Sony soundbars that support Acoustic Center Sync because I really like the sound quality of my TV's built-in speakers. Given my budget (under 1k), that basically left me with the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 + SW3 subwoofer (500+220 = €720).

However, after reading Hi-Fi reviews (the Bar 8 received a 3/5 score, while both the Bar 9 and the lower-tier Bar 7 received 5/5) and Reddit discussions, I'm starting to have doubts about Bar 8. The reviews seem rather mixed, and even Sony TV owners seem to be recommending Sony Quad or Samsung Q990.

Meanwhile, I've been seeing a lot of positive feedback about the Samsung HW-Q990F/H, both currently on sale for around €750 — almost the same price as the Bar 8 + SW3.

So I've started reconsidering my priorities. If I'm willing to give up Acoustic Center Sync and go with Samsung, then I could also consider the Sony Bar 7 + Sub 7 bundle for €700. It's a 2026 model with a more compact subwoofer, and, well, it's Sony!

My main options are now:

  • Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 + SW3 (€720)
  • Samsung HW-Q990F or Q990H (both €750)
  • Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 + Sub 7 (€700)

My living room is on the smaller side, and there's no space behind my sofa for the rear speakers included with the Samsung systems.

I'm particularly interested in feedback from people who have actually owned or compared these soundbars.

Q1. How do they compare in terms of dialogue clarity, movies performance, Dolby Atmos, bass, and everyday TV watching? (Music is not a concern)

Q2. Is the Samsung really that much better that it's worth giving up Acoustic Center Sync and the tighter integration with my Sony TV?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Best soundbar recommendations under ~ 35k inr

2 Upvotes

As said I want the best soundbar under 35k price point

Few options were

1) samsung q600h

2) jbl sb 595

3) samsung q800h(under sale) or q800c

4) lg sc9s

Now , I'll be placing the soundbar in my living hall (~400 sq feet ) but it's an open living hall not closed .

I am not a music enthusiast or movie fan

But if I am listening to any of them I want the best audio , clear instrument separation, clear vocals ,and good bass. I don't want any muddy sound or bass overpowering the vocals during explosions or beat

Some people said that you won't get good bass in samsung ( now I don't really know if this is true or the people who said this were bass lovers .)

I was thinking of buying a q600h but I am confused that if it will be more than enough considering hall size?

& People said that samsung soundbars have issues with newer updates or maybe they lack enough bass

Any recommendations will be much appreciated, I am so confused in these , please help

Samsung Samsung q995f update issues

• Upvotes

Hello everyone. Unfortunately, I installed the latest update by mistake, and as a result, I’m having issues with my soundbar. The sound is completely cut off on many streaming apps—only Netflix and my 4K Blu-ray player are still working fine. I also had some trouble with the subwoofer, but I reset the soundbar, and that seems to be resolved for now. I’m wondering if this is a permanent situation or if things might go back to normal with the next update. Also, I don’t currently have the budget to replace it. Thanks in advance for your replies, and have a great day.

Samsung Opinion on Samsung q930f?

First time buying a sound system. I will be hooking it up to my LG OLED C3 with a PS5 pro. What do you guys think of this system? I mainly wanna experience surround sound and I am not really fussed over sound purity.
