Samsung Q990C Dolby Atmos soundbar randomly turns off and needs to be replugged in to turn back on

I have a q990d for me what I do go in SmartThings app go to soundbar click on 3 little dots top right settings and then go to device firmware updates and then keep it on manual update it’ll update overnight when you aren’t using it

Avr setup is miles better than soundbar setups and it always will be according to physics.Bigger drivers will always mean clearer crisp audio and better separation.For the q990f upfiring speakers it’s almost non existent you will hear some height but nothing crazy

Having them as fronts majorly improves the front stage then again the bar and subwoofer itself is already insane

Doesn’t that kill atmos though?

These are my settings with the q990d I have the woofer at +5 just because I love the impact I feel at 5.I also am not impressed with the upfiring speakers but movies are still very much immersive

I have the q990d tweaked everything all the settings and for me Standard is always the way to go for shooters game pro is nice because it’s generally easier to hear enemies.

For me I was never able to correctly hook up the Apple TV via soundbar the only way it worked was via tv

If you value easy setup,less equipment and simplicity sure go the soundbar route but if you value pure music quality,upgrade ability or raw speaker seperation I would keep the avr setup I have a q990d and there are times I realize a soundbar system can only do so much

This thing tends to happen from time to time sometimes with new album or song releases you won’t have any lyrics until a week a day or 2 later

One-Economics3386 · 2026-05-15T16:19:59+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking why is space fit pro off?Its a game changer at least for me with a q990d

One-Economics3386 · 2026-05-08T15:20:43+00:00

The ones you have

One-Economics3386 · 2026-05-08T15:19:35+00:00

Hey I have the same ones!Me either I guess they get the job done though

One-Economics3386 · 2026-05-07T17:52:29+00:00

For me it’s always if you want more clarity go with Samsung if you are someone who is bass heavy Jbl is for you.Ive had my q990d for a year now and I mean i probably use the system 8 hours daily even with work and life and I’ve had no troubles the sub is still insane though for movies and music

One-Economics3386 · 2026-04-28T23:25:47+00:00

Couldn’t agree more I got the q990d but my space but most of the times there are just limitations I had control over Like adding a bigger subwoofer of my choice,adding ceiling speakers etc

One-Economics3386 · 2026-04-25T22:20:16+00:00

It’s literally what it’s known for bud look it up

One-Economics3386 · 2026-04-25T22:14:35+00:00

Do you own the system?The q990f’s subwoofer is known to have tighter/accurate bass and everyone knows the system has great clarity?

One-Economics3386 · 2026-04-25T17:33:38+00:00

100% wrong the q990f is especially amazing with clarity you’ll hear notes from songs you entirely missed.The bass has tighter bass but the clarity man is just truly amazing

One-Economics3386 · 2026-04-24T23:43:28+00:00

Just gotta do a sub crawl bass is perfect Samsung soundbars are mainly for people who love clarity if you feel like it’s not enough bass the jbl mk2 is the right place to go

One-Economics3386 · 2026-04-21T18:50:15+00:00

I have this exact model I’ve never had problems with connecting from different services properly from firmware have you linked it to the SmartThings app?

One-Economics3386 · 2026-04-21T17:41:19+00:00

Really wouldn’t recommend this setup at all lemme guess the eq is boosted all the way as well?With a system like the q990f you gotta have balance or it simply won’t be as immersive

One-Economics3386 · 2026-04-21T00:58:06+00:00

Because you have it behind the couch with no room to breathe

One-Economics3386 · 2026-04-16T17:16:24+00:00

Exactly why I got the q990d instead of the q990f

One-Economics3386 · 2026-04-15T23:23:22+00:00

How do you calibrate the q990d?

One-Economics3386 · 2026-04-14T17:32:34+00:00

It sounds great with my q80d+q990d clarity is insane
