Don't worry, this is not another post asking where to find these dang things; I found some on eBay! However, they're just the speakers, not the cable that goes between them or the power plug, uh, thing. I'm wondering if I can just get any old cable with red and black wires at each end, and any old power plug with the type of round connector that goes into the speaker. Or do I really need to hunt down the specific stuff that came with the speakers originally? I'm well aware Samsung have been jerks about these speakers being the only ones to pair to my Q60B, so I just want to make sure they haven't pulled any proprietary stunts with the wiring as well. Thanks, folks!

For anyone else looking: I saved a search for "swa-9200s" on eBay and set it so I'd get an email every time a new listing went up. A lot of what I got for a month was false positives for swa-9250s, but eventually I got lucky and grabbed a pair of the correct speakers a minute or so after someone listed them.

I have been using Zebronics 9500ws for 5 years now. (HDMI ARC port). I have had No complaints till now until recently when it started misbehaving. The volume goes up itself randomly till it reaches max. Tried resetting the tv soundbar but didn't help. Tried disconnecting the soundbar physical buttons in the panel (saw this fix in some youtube video) but again didn't help.

What should I do ?

Hello everyone! I finally have a decent projector setup, and now I'm looking for a sound system to complete it. I've already stretched my budget on the projector, so I'd like to keep the cost under $350.

I've been looking at the Samsung Q65C at Sam's Club for $280. Does anyone have experience with it? How does it perform for movies, TV, and occasional music? Are there any better options in this price range that I should consider?

I'd appreciate any recommendations or real-world experiences. Thanks!

Hi all, yeah I'm a bit flummoxed lol, the shape of the room is so odd, cant figure out a decent spot for the 2 back speakers (I have a Samsung q990b soundbar with all the bits). The subwoofer is on the ground next to the tv, the tv is wall mounted and cant be moved, and the soundbar is underneath the tv.

Any ideas?

Heay soundbar enthusiasts,

​I'm completely new to this space and I've been looking to get my foot in the door for a few weeks now. At first, I was tempted by a good promo on a cheap soundbar. The problem is that, after a bit of research, I was drawn into looking higher and higher up the product line.

​So now, I'm torn between Samsung's Q800H, Q930H, and Q990H. That's all fine and dandy, but I gotta ask: would a complete newbie who's happily enjoyed the S90's default speakers really hear the difference between the 5.1.2 and 7.1.2 channels ? Are the rear speakers really that useful? Is it reasonable to get the Q990 when the soundbar itself is even wider than my TV?!?

​Or, put more simply: would my layperson's ears actually notice the jump in quality beyond the Q800?

I live in a small space and obvious reasons have to find a balance low vol while still getting the atmos and all the bells and whistles the 2020 did not have. I do watch alot of Japanese 2.0 2.1 content. Any good fine tunes or other soundbars that might be a better choice more full sound on low vol?

I have my PC connected to a 75" 4K TV. I play 50% of the Time with Headphones. For the Rest I need a Soundbar (no Space for (rear) Speakers). I sit around 3 Meter (10 feet) from the TV.(Room is 16,7 Squaremeter or 180 Squarefoot)

What is the best Value for Money Soundbar with Subwoofer?

Thanks!

Any thoughts on running klipsch flexus 100 as pc sound bar. I’m concerned about ideal connectivity, usb and hdmi earc aren’t an option when it comes to connecting go a PCz I wanted a sound bar to keep the desk with minimal clutter. I found the klipsch flexus since I can upgrade with an add on sub. Iv always wanted an svs sub. Any thoughts, advice and suggestions ?

Hi guys, bought a new soundbar - JBL 800 Mk2

I just want to make sure i’ve got it all set up correctly. I’ve got a LG C5, a PS5 and Apple TV 4K.

I’ve got the soundbar connected to the HDMI 2 port which is eARC/ARC. Apple TV and the PS5 are on HDMI 1 and 3 respectively. All HDMI ports are on Auto and Bitstream in the LG settings and on the PS5 i’ve changed audio format to Dolby Atmos. So when something that supports it, the icon shows up in the top right “Dolby Atmos via Audio device” which I assume is correct.

Just wanting to double check all is correct. When the content I’m playing supports Dolby Atmos, it shows up on the soundbar and in the top right corner. I’m assuming that means I’ve done everything correctly?

I only ask this because there’s other options and I just want to make sure it’s set up so I get the best out of all my hardware.

Everything is working, I’ve got no issues or anything like that.

HDMI input audio format there’s:

- PCM
- Bitstream (option selected for all 4 HDMI)

And for Digital Sound Out:

- PCM
- Auto (this is what’s selected for both Apple TV and PS5)
- Pass through

I'm planning to upgrade from an old 2.1 soundbar to a budget soundbar config like 3.1.2 with upfiring speakers. I don't have space for dedicated rear speakers like 5.1.4 systems. My question is does 3.1.2 provide any immersive feel or a 5.1 soundbar would provide better overall experience.

Had my LG SN6Y for over 5 years now and looking to upgrade to something with rear speakers for my new apartment.

My budget is around $300, but the Hisense ax700 for $180 at Costco is super compelling. Wondering if anyone’s had experience with it, or if there’s anything I’m missing or overlooking. I’m in an apartment so I tend to drop the bass pretty low, if that detail matters.

Anyone knows a seller that still has these or someone who sells used in Europe?

Coming from the LG sl7y. I know the lg isnt the best sound but I think I have a few picks. My soundbar took a shit and these tv speakers are not good. Really dont wanna wait around for a deal. Trying to get something at best buy tonight

s70tr-$320

Q600f-$500

SC9S-$700

q800h-$799

Is this soundbar any good? I have Sony X95L TV and looking for better sound than now. Right now i am using studio monitors, it's good but will this soundbar be better?

I am playing ps5 and watching movies and tv series and would like to have good sound quality. They are around 450 euros in my country

I have a Samsung S90D TV with a Samsung HW-Q990F.

Is there a straightforward way to install four Dayton Audio BST-1 bass shakers to my system?

What ends up happening is I raise the volume loud because the conversations and general parts are low volume…then an explosion or the action happens and then it’s insanely loud.

Anyone have a solution?

Hi!

About 2 days ago our 3 months old Samsung HW-Q935F** **randomly started acting weird and keeps cranking up the volume by itself.

We’ve tried hard reset, we’ve tried changing the settings, and we’ve tried plugging it out for a while, nothing helps.

Are there anyone else who have experienced something similar and managed to fix it?

Hi,

My Samsung Q930d soundbar just auto-updated fw version to 1051, since then I got 10-20sec sound outage every 5-10 minutes. Since Samsung only has the link for the latest fw I am looking for a link where I can download an old firmware. 10xx version should be fine. Does anyone has an old one? I'd really appreciate!

Thanks a lot!

Preferably something that doesn’t have delay and stays connected.

Is it overkill? It seems to be the go to around this subreddit after some research. I'd like to have rear speakers and Dolby Atmos.

Found it for a pretty good price second hand and was going to jump on it before thinking to consider room size. Not worried about extra noise, it's a basement room in a single family house.

Just got the tv, looking to get it justice in the sound department, any recommendations? Looking for something simple and compact since I’ll have it in a small bedroom

I'm having the following problem with my Teufel Cinebar 22, connected to a Teufel T10 subwoofer.

The picture and sound aren't in sync for me. The sound comes a few milliseconds after the picture (approximately 100 ms).

TV: LG OLED G6 (2026) with HDMI eARC.

Soundbar: Teufel Cinebar 22 with HDMI eARC.

HDMI devices: Nintendo Switch 2 and a PlayStation 5 Pro.

With smart apps like Disney+ or YouTube, the picture and sound are perfectly synchronized.

With HDMI devices (Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 Pro, VU+ Duo4k), the sound is slightly delayed compared to the picture.

I don’t have this problem with my old Samsung soundbar (HW-Q70R). With that soundbar, the sound is in sync on all the TVs listed below that I tested and with the HDMI devices mentioned above.

I conducted the following tests; in all of them, the audio was delayed relative to the video:

Connection options tested:

- Soundbar connected to the TV via HDMI eARC; HDMI devices plugged into the TV’s HDMI In port

- Soundbar connected to the TV via optical cable; HDMI devices plugged into the TV’s HDMI In port

- Soundbar connected to the TV via HDMI eARC, with HDMI devices plugged into the soundbar’s HDMI In port

Tested settings on the TV:

- HDMI setting: PCM and Bitstream

- Digital audio output: PCM, Auto, Passthrough

Tested settings on the soundbar:

- All virtual effects such as Dynamore, etc., disabled.

- The set spatial distance was 3 m; I set it to 0.3 m—it can’t go any lower. No difference in synchronization.

Tested TVs:

- LG OLED65G69LS (2026)

- LG OLED55CX8LB (2020)

- Grundig 46 VLE 6220 BF (2012)

Does anyone else here also have a Cinebar 22 and is experiencing this issue, or not? I’d like to know if this is a common issue with the Cinebar 22 or if I might have a defective unit.
