Hey guys, being that I had forgotten I created this thread, I think I recently got my situations taken care of. After doing a little bit more research on the issue and with help from others, it turns out that if I leave the output audio format on my Blu-ray player set to auto and if I leave...

Well, I figured it out for myself. Guess my soundbar is strangely too old of technology that it's HDMI input doesn't support the newer HDMI technology like my TV's HDMI inputs do even though they were manufactured the same year. I can however actually use the HDMI input on the soundbar to...

I have another issue/questions to add to this discussion. After doing a little bit of research, it turns out that the HDMI inputs on this TV are just 2.0 and I’m pretty sure that the monster brand 21GBPS cables that I bought from Amazon are HDMI 2.1 or 2.2 so does this make any difference? Also...

Well I moved the Amazon fire stick to the bedroom and got rid of the input expander thing so at least switching between inputs is easier once again.

I guess I probably could delete my Amazon fire stick being that one, since I have a Hulu Live subscription, I really don't need it anymore and no one uses it and two, the only reason I have it in the first place was to watch other stuff but tat proved to be more of a pain than what is was worth...

Yeah, you're right, there's a difference between a splitter and a input selector but I guess you'd just have to see it to see that its working the same with or without it.

OK. What do you mean?

Yeah, I didn't include that information until just a little bit ago but yes, I have a 4k splitter and the reason why is because my TV doesn't have enough ports to connect everything I have being that the soundbar is using one of the ports. As I have it currently, my playstation, my soundbar, my...

I don't get what you mean... I can hook it to the TV with a HDMI cable or a fiber optic optical cable. But what is the HDMI input on the soundbar for? I'm finding that out...lol. Actually I shouldn't say that because I think I might be getting things figured out. Instead of just leaving...

Sorry, your abbreviation confused me....lol. But yes, the Apple TV is plugged in to the TV through a HDMI splitter. I guess I could try hooking it up to that. That would actually be great then I wouldn't need the splitter. But then again, my Blu-ray player is connected to the splitter as well...

I don't get what you're asking. Everything is connected via HDMI port.

My 4K player is connected to the TV lie everything else. Should it be connected directly to the soundbar? But actually on second thought, I don't remember what Samsung told me that HDMI input on my soundbar was for but a while back I was on a chat line with a Samsung tech asking if I could use...

That is definitely true. What sucks is like how this won't let you run certain settings unless the conditions allow for it. I actually had pretty good audio while watching a 4K Blu-ray just a little while ago but I had to go into my TV's audio settings and select Dolby Digital on the output...

Mine is all in the same room.

Ok so, when you say to set everything to Bitstream audio, does that matter if the soundbar is connected via ARC or optical? And what bitstream options do I use? On the TV, if I set the HDMI Input Audio Format to Bitstream, the only options I can select for the Digital Output Audio Format is...

So should I leave that set to auto or just turn it on? Ok, thank you. So that means basically there’s a center channel and a right and left channel? And of course the .1 is the subwoofer, correct? With all due respect, I’ve done that. Lol. I’m mot rest sure what works the best but at least if...

Hey guys, I have a Samsung UHD 4K QN65Q7FAM TV, Samsung HW-M550 Soundbar w/sub and a Samsung UBD-K8500 Ultra HD 4K Blu-ray player. What is the best audio settings for both the TV, the Blu-ray player and the sound bar so that whenever I’m watching either a DVD, a Blu-ray or a 4K ultra Blu-ray...
