Good morning friends.
I've performed the firmware update for my HW-Q90R soundbar.
Given that there is no official statement from Samsung with the details of the update I would like to check with the community what new features have been included.
- How can I check now the firmware version on the bar, to check if the rears are updated as well? In the past just by holding the sound mode button on the remote with the soundbar off the different versions appeared on the display.
Now it is not case. Now by holding sound mode for 5 seconds with the bar off it enables a new functionality: Test Tone
NEW FEATURES
- EARC functionality is enabled, this is great.
- Test tone: What it this for? It performs a test of the sound of the different channels, is it useful for anything else?
- Now in the sources appeared TV SPEAKERS, what is this for?
I would like to check specially if the update has included any update of the rears and subwoffer
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello guys,
I just received yesterday my q80r soundbar and unfortunatly the subwoofer is not working. I think i just tried everything i can do. The subwwofer blue light is working well, so it's supposed to work. But nothign comes out. I also updated to the latest firmware, and if not totally *****, the firmware is up to date. I updated it from smarthings and i checked on the soundbar itslef and i have M0128.0 / B1010.5 / H0051.00 / FD0040.0 / W0033.0 / S0033.0
The soundbar is perfectly working just the subwoofer doing nothing.
I am using a classic HDMI ARC ( LG C8 TV ) , linked to my TV and i use a nvdia shield also linked to my TV with another HDMI. It says i am using HDMI ARC on the soundbar, so i assume my settings are ok sicne soundbar is working.
I don't feel like the subwoofer is borken since the blue light is ON.
But i don't know what to do and i don't find much people having problems like that. Next step is back to the shop if i can't make it working.
I appreciate all the help you can offer, thanqs you very much in advance and sorry for the bad english, i'm better with french haha.

It switches off from D.IN -> PRT automaticaly since I updated to last FW. I reseted it 5 times, no way to recover it if connected via HDMI ARC to a LG OLED B8. If all devices are disconnected from the bar, it doesn't show PRT, doesn't switch off.

It's been a long day, and I may be being utterly stupid, but where the heck is the actual 1010.5 Firmware Update for hw-hw-Q90R link? The Samsung site just sends me round in cirlces. Can anyone spare pity for an old fool and paste then link please?
