When using the K650 sound bar and two R1 Wireless speakers in surround sound mode over wifi with the latest firmware, The quailty of the sound K650 drops, sounds very muddy. As soon as you use the sound bar on it own, the sound bar improves. this is happening for a quite a few users.
can you help.

Ok, big thanks for the replies!
The bug with turning off seems quite annoying to me. Same goes for BT music streaming.
Are you sure that there is no some quick surround disable/enable button in Multiroom app?
How many clicks/taps you need to perform to make surround again after soundbar reboot (or disbanding surround group)?
As for DTS issue I'm thinking on trying to install "kodi" on TV, and convert DTS to DD "on the fly", since I'm not sure that Samsung will release DTS update for K650.

DTS isnt an issue for me because my cable box everything is DD but it sounds the best bitstream pcm.
My bluray player can decode DTS 5.1 and as long as I set hdmi audio to PCM I get DTS surround. PCM tells the tv to not decode the audio--that it should pass through.
Im not using the optical cable work around. My system is working fine in wifi mode. Dont ask me why, it just started working.

Hi All
As far as I am aware the soundbar does not accept PCM multichannel audio. Only stereo PCM that it then converts to fake surround. I have tried to get it to accept multichannel several times via Hdmi with no success.

It's not even a Soundbar issue Lee, you can't send multichannel PCM via ARC or optical. Not enough bandwidth, it will just pass as stereo, and then Soundbar will make "fake" surround out of it.
PCM should only be used in Blu-ray - - - - >AV reciever---->video pass through to TV setups.
