I had a 7.1 Onyx or whatever it was called 17 years ago and don't remember surround sound being this good. It was 17 years ago though so things have changed! Way easier to setup too. This thing beats my local theaters. 13% cb plus $50 cb. I wish the Amex offer for $200 back wasn't just for the Samsung business site but I think it's still worth it.

Seems dead? Just chatted with support it's $1282.49 with the EDU discount and the 10% chat discount. Unless someone has a trick.

Re-run the soundbar calibration. You can use the Smart Things app to enable/disable the voice and bass enhancements. Also make sure you do not have it in night mode.

Verify the Sound settings on the TV:
  • Sound Output: [AV] Soundbar (Q990B)
  • HDMI e-ARC: Auto
  • Digital Output Format: Pass-through

That last setting is very important (otherwise the TV would do the surround processing), as is the source material being played.
Thanks. According to the sound bar instructions, the TV sound output settings should say TV+Soundbar when you have Q-Symphony enabled. That seems to be different than what you're saying here. I'm confused.

TV+Soundbar is correct for Q-Symphony. I just read what I had on the TV and apparently it was changed and I did not realize it.

I also tried setting digital output format to passthrough and it removed all dialog from the sound output. All I could hear was the surround sound, which was pretty cool, but obviously not how one would want to watch a movie. Also, I don't see anywhere in the smarthings app to run any sound calibration. From what I can tell it is just plug and play (and presumably does calibration transparently behind the scenes). I tried enabling Q-Symphony and setting up what I could (with the limitations described above) and I had the same results as before. Disabled it again and I still think the sound is better with it turned off. Maybe it is just my system. Shrug

Received mine last night, set it up and right away noticed a huge difference in sound quality vs Sony AT-5000. I had to change some settings on my LG C1 OLED to get the Atmos to work, but figured it out. So far, I'm impressed, but need some recommendations on some good movies to watch so I can test out the Atmos.

Crappy soundbar with upfiring speakers jammed into it. Buy an AVR, and speakers and a real sub. It'll be 100% better
Five posts in 9 years, 60% of which are unproductive. It would be helpful to share your experience between this soundbar and your AVR setup so SDers can make an informed decision.

I bought this soundbar for my bedroom. In my living room, I have a surround sound system which includes a Yamaha A6A ($2,450), PSA TV2112 subwoofer ($2,600), Klipsch RP-504-C center speaker ($650), Klipsch RP-600Ms ($750), JBL Studio 530s ($600).

After watching some movies in Dolby Atmos, I was surprised to see how well the soundbar could keep up with the sound system in my living room. If this soundbar had a subwoofer output so that you can use any subwoofer then it would be a PERFECT alternative to an AVR.

This is not to say that the subwoofer the soundbar comes with is not good, as it does offer pretty good bass that can be felt. It's just that in comparison, my TV2112 subwoofer can literally shake my entire house to the point of inducing fear and the Samsung sub can't. Which I'm fine with since it's only for my bedroom.

At $950 vs. my $7K system (paid more like $6K), this soundbar is well worth it.

Clarity on this thing is amazing. But I'm unable to say I hear anything different with Atmos. I'm playing Maverick and the signal is there as the sound bar shows DOLBY ATMOS. But I can't really hear sounds coming from the ceiling. I currently have the sound bar set to ADAPTIVE and haven't adjusted anything else in the Smart Things app. The room I have it set up in is a fairly square room that is around 14' x 14'. Any suggestions ?
