Review if anyone was looking. Seems decent, satellites are wired.

Since we are on the topic of Vizio soundbars, has anyone found a solution to the power problem? I seem to have weekly issues in which I cannot power on my Vizio soundbar unless I unplug it from the power strip. Unplugging from the back of the soundbar itself isn't good enough. This seems to be an issue prevalent across multiple Vizio models and I still have not found a solution.

I recently got the Sonos Arc SL and enjoy it. IF you are already invested into the Sonos ecosystem may be something to consider.

Funny, I have two vizio soundbars, they have the same issue, always randomly will not turn on.

The only solution I've seen is someone mentioning it might need a firmware update. I think you connect it to the app to check.

Mine just started exhibiting the issue randomly a few days ago after owning it for half a year. I have to go to the back of the soundbar and yank the power cable and plug it back in to get it working again.

Its on the latest firmware update. I'm considering setting plugging the soundbar into a WiFi power switch and then seeing if I can setup some automation to power cycle it every time I turn on my LG TV. These soundbars sound great for what they are but are notoriously a pain.

I've had this sound bar from Costco since last summer. It worked pretty reliably with my LG C8 OLED TV, though with my Nvidia Shield TV plugged into its HDMI input (for True HD support) it would be kind of buggy from time to time. At that point it wasn't a huge deal. However, due to my C8 getting destroyed by an angry girlfriend, the sound bar is paired with a TCL 55R613 and it constantly has issues, most of which is lacking sound, and this is whether the Shield TV is plugged into the sound bar or the TV (using ARC). I either have to manually cycle through the inputs on the sound bar or unplug the sound bar to get it to "reset". I now plan to return this sound bar one day... AFAIK sound bars have an infinite return policy at Costco.

I have same exact issue on my Vizio sound bar. After only 1 month it won't power on and I have to discount cable to get it to power up again. Then on the 2nd month it won't even power up at all.
