just recently bought a new Samsung soundbar B450 which I am very pleased with but at low volume the woofer has a strange background interference noise. I updated the firmware Version 1026 and the problem remains.
Anyone had the same experience and is there a fix?
same problem here, just bought the soundbar and the background echo/interference/noise from the woofer (as somebody mentioned earlier, it sounds exactly like a hard drive seeking) is annoying as heck. since so many people are having this problem it has to be a manufactorer issue
Samsung aren’t helping to solve the issue. I’ve noticed that it stops when I mute the soundbar so must be a sound problem. Samsung need to recall the product.
I have a similar issue but with the hw-650 but my sound is like a distortion/whirling sound from tge subwoofer at low volumes and ruins any speech. I have already exchanged it once and it has the same issue.
Mine also cuts out and displays "TV arc" again as if its reconnected.
Looks like I might have to down grade to the b550 if that seems to be OK.
Has there been any resolution to this? HW-B450 paired with a new Samsung TV here, both with a fresh firmware update. No resolution to the background noise that some describe as a "Hard Drive searching". There is something in the wireless transfer of signal that is not right. I am ready to scrap mine and switch to a Bose.
