I am ready to buy the K950 Atmos Sound bar, if you can fix the widely reported issue with Sky Q

Here is a link to the Sky forum describing the issue:

 

http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/Dolby-Atmos-problem-Samsung-HW-k950/td-p/2697296

 

To cut a long story short, everyone is finding that after switching out of a UHD Atmos Sky broadcast to a regular non-Atmos channel, the sound is lost and requires the sound bar to be rebooted.

 

This is enough to put me off buying this otherwise well-reviewed unit.

 

Samsung, can you confirm whether you have plans to get to the bottom of this?

 

I'm 100% certain to buy this sound bar, if this issue gets fixed, otherwise forget it.

I too am experiencing this issue and have been from day one of Dolby Atmos sound being available from the Sky Q box. I would love to recommend this Soundbar to anyone asking for a Dolby Atmos system but with this issue still outstanding I will not!! I don't know if you read the comments in these forums but I suggest you do get to the bottom of this issue as I am convinced that you are losing prospective sales. There are plenty of people asking for advice on the Sky Q forum but are being put off buying your soundbar because of this issue.

Samsung, can you confirm whether you are looking into this problem please I have not found anyone who can get this to work with Sky.

There is already a very large discssion going on about this on the Sky forum

Hi all. I've escalated this to our Product specialist and Head Office to get some insight from the Samsung end on this for you.

 

@Marky00: As it's on the same topic, I've merged your thread with this one.

Thanks AntS, that is much appreciated.

I think even if it's a case of Sky not correctly terminating the audio stream, it woulds surely be better if the Samsung device can handle it rather then essentially become unusable.

So Sky are reporting in the other thread that the issue is not their problem to solve.

So just to update, Samsung support have told me there are no reported issues of this issue...even though it has clearly been reported in both the Sky forums and these forums.

 

I have no interest in spending any more time with either Samsung or Sky trying to get this solved so I won’t be buying this sound bar.
