Am I putting them in the right place and direction? Do you have any other suggestions? And should they be pointed toward my ear or toward the middle of the room?

Folks, need help with an issue that's making me go bonkers. I have the titled TV and use a soundbar (basic sound bar. Motorola, nothing fancy). When I connect the soundbar through HDMI ARC, there's no audio output. I can see that the soundbar is connected, the volume functions on the soundbar happen through the TV remote as well. But there's just no audio output. Tried changing the hdmi chord too, no help. Any solution?

I’ve moved to a place with much higher ceilings (25’). I’m getting a 65” Roku Plus Series. I’ve always been happy with my Sonos Ray on a 55” TCL Roku tv but the Ray isn’t suited to the new space. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced Soundbar/speaker combo? Considering I spent $650.00 on the tv I’d like to keep my budget down as i’m not that picky about my av setup.

I'm struggling to get these two to play nice and looking for help.

At first the JBL would randomly change volume, up or down. I managed to eventually get that to stop by changing settings.

However now, the soundbar doesn't start up when the tv starts and the tv remote control doesn't control the volume.

I've reset both, turning them off, unplugging the HDMI cable, leaving them, then switching them on and reconnecting the HDMI. After that, things work correctly, tv volume controls the soundbar, sound doesn't randomly increase or decrease, until I turn off the TV. Then when I turn on again, the issue starts again.

I've checked updates and I've changed HDMI cables, with the same issues.

Any suggestions? Maybe an hdmi-cec issue somehow?

I'm about ready to return the soundbar if I can't resolve this.

I have a 49" TV and so far I've been getting by with Bluetooth to an old bose speaker. But I want an upgrade. Any recs?

Pessoal minha sound bar JBL 800 mk1 chegou hoje e as vezes os diálogos estao muito baixo e do nada tá muito alto quase derrubando a casa kkk, tem algo que possa ser feito ou é falta de alto falantes pra voz?

Hello,

I've had my soundbar for a year now, and have had issues when it comes to audio delay Blu ray movies on my ps5.

My ps5 is plugged directly into my soundbar. The soundbar is plugged into my LG C5

Anytime I watch a Blu ray or 4k there's some sort of audio delay. I hear the words before I see the actors move their lips. I can usually temporarily fix this with the audio sync option on the smart things app, however I'm always adjusting it and it's never right. My OCD makes this situation worse than it is as my gf doesn't notice.

On my discs, I have it set to bitstream, noise reduction is off and so is dynamic range control.

Id ideally like this fixed if anyone has experienced anything similar! It only happens with the discs. When watching YouTube on my ps5 there is no delay.

Hello Everyone,

I am planning to purchase my first Home Theater which I would like to use with LG C5 OLED, my drawing room size is 170 square feet so could you please suggest does LG S95TR going to be a overkill.

Which other alternative I can use if it is a overkill, please suggest..

Thank you,

I’ve got a garage gym, and I have an old lg soundbar and sub setup that I use a couple of times a week. My garage is not fully insulated, and with the temps dropping quick, should I bring it in?
It’s gonna be in the 30s this weekend

New house, new TV, same static showing up with wireless sub. Not constant and not present with all apps /streaming platforms. Sub is plugged directly into 2-prong outlet. Remedies?

I'm from India. I'm looking to purchase a soundbar for my sony x90l tv. My requirements are watching debate shows, singing reality shows, news channels, listening to songs, movies or webseries weekly once. Sony Bravia theatre bar 6, samsung q800h, LG sq75tr, jbl bar 500. Mentioned models are in the range of 350-420 usd. Which one would be the best for my needs? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, i have a 670 Soundbase that developed a whistling sound that didn't change with output or volume. I didn't register or take care of it under warranty, and I was too cheap to pay for the fancy box and the service fee.

I took it to a local TV repair shop but a small microchip was faulty, something that's no longer manufactured.

I isolated the issue to one of the 3 woofers on the bottom that fire down. I figured why not try talking out that one woofer (there are two others)?

After using a fork to pull off the metal grate with the adhesive, I was able to remove the right woofer and tape up the remaining connectors with electrical tape.

I fired up the soundbar for a power test, 5 min on test, Bluetooth pairing test, and the whistle is gone. All I needed was a fork, a Philips screwdriver, and some electrical tape.

Posting here in case this helps others with a DIY fix, I couldn't find one myself online.

Note that I was okay with this frying as it was going into a landfill if I couldn't fix it, and this specific power supply was noted as being okay with an open load (that specific woofer had a separate power supply than the other two).

I have a Sony 90H 65-inch TV. My hall is 325 sq ft, viewing distance is 16–17 feet, and ceiling height is 11 feet (9 feet from the TV). I am based in India, and my budget is ₹25k ( little flexible )

I want a bass-heavy soundbar that delivers a thumping bass, as I mainly use the TV for music videos, particularly techno and house. A 5.1 channel setup is preferred, but not a priority. Currently, I use the default TV speakers.

I tested out the Sony HT-S40R, JBL SB590, and LG S65TR at max volume in showrooms. I personally liked the Sony the most for its bass. LG one was pretty good too, but wasn't a punchy as Sony.

Looking for suggestions, thanks!

For those using a Samsung TV + soundbar, do you feel Q-Symphony actually improves the sound, or is it better to leave it disabled?

Do you notice a bigger soundstage, better immersion, or does it just make the audio feel echoey or unbalanced?

I'd love to hear your experience, especially with the Q990 series. Do you keep it on or off, and why?

I have a TCL 77 inch OLED and the screen is amazing but sound is subpar. Watch it for almost only sports and movies. Best recommendations? Preferably one I can get before TNF tonight lol.

Finally, I’m pulling the trigger on the LG S65TR! 🔊

After going back and forth between different soundbars, switching from one model to another, and watching my budget climb from ₹15K to ₹50K, I’ve finally made my decision.

I’m going with the LG S65TR 5.1-channel soundbar system for ₹17,000 ($180), with 12 months of no-cost EMI.

But there’s another reason behind this decision.

Initially, I had planned to spend around ₹25K on a projector. However, after researching different models and comparing their picture quality, I’m beginning to feel that I might need to stretch my projector budget to ₹50K to get the kind of viewing experience I actually want.

My soundbar search became a rabbit hole of endless comparisons, specifications, reviews, and second thoughts. I started with a ₹15K budget, explored options costing much more, and kept wondering whether spending extra would be worth it.

Eventually, I stepped back and looked at the bigger picture; literally. 😀

Hi,

I have a 42in Bravia Sony XR 90j or whatever OLED.

I want a small sound bar to go in front of it.

It is in my bedroom, and I don't have room for much anything over 15in. If that.

Is there an optical/eARC device that Bravia will pickup and utilize for a pseudo surround experience paired with the TV speakers?

My parents have a Bravia 80k or 90k or something. Regular LED.

And they have a Roku streambar that the TV picks up as "TV sound system combined" or whatever the notification on the screen when the eARC is plugged in.

I just want to use the TV streaming system, and a bar to achieve a 2.1 or 3 ch psuedo surround I don't want to spend over 150 or anything crazy. Just enough to get better audio.

Im thinking getting a Roku streambar and juts not using the streaming part and plugging it into the eARC HDMI port the TV should combine the audio outputs.

Thanks!

One Youtuber named VFM also mentioned something like this about. I don't remember exactly.

I’ve got a hw-hm45c and there are no download options on Samsung website. Is there a trusted aftermarket site?

Stopped at my local BestBuy for something and decided to take a stroll to see what catches my eye.

Spotted a lone NIB Q800F with no pricing on the shelf or on the box and slight box damage. I recognized it’s the older model and hoped for a deal. Asked someone nearby to check and it would not scan.

I checked on my phone and saw it for $538. Immediately grabbed a cart made my way to the register. Lady scanned it and it came up at full retail, I showed her my phone and the manager came over and said it’s a Marketplace and they would not match it. I even raised that it’s a discontinued model but they held firm.

Guess it’s better to hope for a sale than to actually make one.

TLDR; BestBuy Manager would not price match their own website on discontinued model.
