Hi everyone,
I need some clarification, as to be honest the Samsung support staff are hopeless with knowing anything about their own products.
I was on chat with support enquiring about the eARC firmware update for this soundbar, he replies to me saying it doesn't have eARC?!
the whole reason I purchased it was because of this update, I have the LG C9 which is eARC!
if they don't provide this firmware update to allow it, then this soundbar is going back for a refund.

@sameu6, I don't have the Q90r (HW-950 owner) but I did check if there was a new update but nothing available (latest is 1007.5).
However according to this thread everyone is still waiting for the Earc update so I am not sure where Techrader got there resources from?
I posted this link a few posts ago: https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/reviews/samsung/hw-q90r
That along with other sources at a later date and various responses here confirming eARC has not been included in firmware update lead me to believe Techrader is incorrect.

Not sure, but with an USB drive I flashed 1008.0 firmware with no problem. I live in Europe. Via SmartThings app the latest firmware for me was 1007.9.
