I have a HW-Q600C soundbar with my S90C tv. I bought them both about and year and a half ago and everything worked just fine. About two months ago I started experiencing issues with my soundbar when I turn the tv (and subsequently the soundbar) on. A loud static noise will emit occasionally and then return to normal as things are starting up. This problem occurs inconsistently. It usually only happens after the tv has been off for several hours. Once it happens it does not repeat itself if I turn the tv off and then back on. It may be not until the next day that this occurs.
I have replaced the eArc cable and that seemed to solve the problem for a couple of weeks; however, it just started again. I’ve tried updating the firmware for my soundbar but the file I downloaded from Samsung fails every time I’ve tried updating the soundbar via USB (little did I know at the time of purchase that this soundbar does not have wifi capabilities). My tv software is up to date as well. I intend to try to redownload the soundbar firmware update and try again, but has anyone experienced a similar issue? TIA.
