Hi everyone,
I need some clarification, as to be honest the Samsung support staff are hopeless with knowing anything about their own products.
I was on chat with support enquiring about the eARC firmware update for this soundbar, he replies to me saying it doesn't have eARC?!
the whole reason I purchased it was because of this update, I have the LG C9 which is eARC!
if they don't provide this firmware update to allow it, then this soundbar is going back for a refund.

Only Dolby Atmos you get with Dolby Digital plus,that's it...
I wish I knew my friend but I have an LG TV. There you can go to HDMI Audio output and set that to Passtrough. Don't know if that also works like that for Samsung

The Samsung Q90 TVs don't have eARC yet, only works on the Soundbar at the moment. Need to have eARC at both ends for it to work

@Ivan1979 those dd and dd+ are right now the passthrough , when they activate earc I think another line should appear...

Updated my Q70R soundbar today.
I also own the Q70R QLED TV. Useless update for now... But... !
For those who care. . I contacted Samsung via WhatsApp 1 Hour ago, and they just replied 5 minutes ago.
Q70R TV Will get eARC update as well. He couldn't give a date, but should be somewhere in the next 3 months..

@q0bra Thanks for putting a bit of hope on the horizon. I've been waiting for the famous eARC update on the QLED lineup for more than a year. Every now and then there are news about the update coming soon... Hopefully this time is for real.
I have the QLED Q90r TV and the Q90R soundbar, "the perfect match" not so perfect at this moment lol.

Not getting voice sync issues with my q90r tv and q90r soundbar and running in atmos when running through my xbox one x. As the soundbar has been updated to earc means getting true atmos sound and sounds great.
When using Netflix and the app within Xbox tells me if it's in atmos.
When not using the Xbox and just playing sound in Dolby digital I dont have any lip syncing issues
