Samsung Soundbar Hdmi Arc Stopped Working

this is a major upgrade over my old soundbar. while you will not get the full home theater atmos experience, movies sound impressive. the voice boost feature is great for programs with poor sound mixes, it really works well! The only downside was connecting with my TV which has no HDMI out labeled and you have to go to the manual to find which port is the ARC. Not Polk's fault, just know there is just one HDMI input on the bar, you need a HDMI/ARC port on your TV

I had Sonos sub gen 1 but that stopped working , bought Sonos gen 3 sub , I do have Sonos arc and era 300 speakers , sound has improved tremendously with deep bass .

I have an older model Vizio TV, and the sound from the internal speakers stopped working. Instead of disposing of the TV, I decided to try connecting it to a soundbar. Therefore, I purchased your soundbar and connected it to the optical in port to the TV, and it works, and it sounds great. Now, if I can get a couple more years of use from the TV, the cost of the soundbar will be worth it. If not, I can use the soundbar with one of my other Vizio Smart TVs.

I have the Arc with two Play 1s for surrounds, with a Samsung TV using HDMI. Had the original playbar (black) so visually Arc in white is much better - the shape, curves, all metal design and touch buttons now look great under the TV. Sound from TV (programs and streaming) is really great, and the quality of music is really pleasing. For us it's a upgrade in quality compared to using just TV speakers. Family happy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so thrilled that I finally took steps to upgrade my home theatre sound with the Samsung Soundbar S50B. I love my smart TV, but the sound quality on its own is not at all smart. I found myself constantly turning the volume up and down in a battle to find the right level because speaking was too quiet but music and sound effects were way too loud. The Samsung Soundbar has solved that issue immediately with no need for adjustment on my end; the sound as I watch movies, TV, or play video games is well balanced. I also have satellite radio on my TV, and it sounds awesome on the soundbar. Setup was super easy too- I just used the included HDMI cord to plug in to the HDMI/ARC port on my TV, plug in the power cord, and select the source and it was ready to go with no troubleshooting needed. I just love when something works like it's supposed to the first time, and is intuitive. I'm a happy camper!

I got this for my husband's media setup. He has at least 6 game consoles and a soundbar all on one tv. It took us a couple tries, some troubleshooting, and some googling to get it working (follow the included quick start guide! The order you plug things in MATTERS!), but it's been working great since. The main problem we had was that the soundbar wouldn't work, even though its HDMI was plugged into the tv and not the switcher. Changed the soundbar hookup from HDMI to optical and that did the trick!

I bought a year ago, frankly speaking i bought sandisc before that, it stopped working at some point with in a year, but samsung we believe at the core till now same speed memory transaction and no complaints, awesome product.

We bought this months ago when our Samsung stopped working. The sound is clear crisp and a lot of bass which we like. We highly recommend it.

Used as soundbar for our Samsung TV.

I have been using it since 2019,. That's the year when endless search for the best soundbar stopped. This is definitely the best soundbar on the market.
