The Freestyle – connecting to a Soundbar wirelessly?

[Scott McNamee]

Hi all – I'm considering buying a Freestyle, but want to know if I can connect the audio wirelessly to a Soundbar such as a Sonos Beam, or a Samsung compact soundbar?

I've searched online but have been unable to find a definitive answer. The only solutions I've found so far is to connect via the HDMI port (or via a matrix switch if I want to use a blu-ray player), but I want to know whether I can connect up say a Blu-Ray player to the HDMI and then have audio go wirelessly via WiFi or Bluetooth to an external soundbar? 

I saw a review that said that it paired with the reviewers Samsung Soundbar automatically?

So if anyone has one or if the Samsung team could enlighten me that would be fab before I buy?

Thanks

Seems like it's possible to connect to a bluetooth speaker.

Have a look at this video.

Thank you – so it is possible but he mentions some lag. Would love to hear from someone who has one as to how successful it is!

Can confirm my Samsung sound bar connect via WiFi shows up as an audio output device.

It’s stable, no lag and works fine.

Would appreciate your help, please advise the steps.

I am unable to connect my Freestyle with my Samsung Soundbar Q70R over Wifi.
