Q950T rear speakers and sub stop working after power off

[Erroneousss]

I see issues like this have been around in previous models. Just curious is there a fix for this?  

Whenever I turn off the sound bar the rear speakers and sub stop working next time it's turned back on. Nothing shows it loses its connection but they don't work. I had to power cycle the sound bar twice today to get them to finally work again after I linked them.

I have the same issues even with the FW being updated. I have sent the product to the service center. Waiting for them to send it back to me.

My 950t in the UK is doing the same - very annoying.

This sounds like a software issue to me. Samsung needs to fix this.

Been getting similar behavior on my setup too. I have to power cycle the sub when it loses connection and it seems to reconnect.

Had the same problem with a brand new set of Q950T, and searched high and low for a solution.

The above mentioned solution I couldn't use because I was never able to connect the the Soundbar to the Smartthings app, and therefor also not to the WiFi.

Here's what I did to make it work:

1. Turn off Soundbar
2. Init pairing mode on SW + rear speakers (quick flashing blue LED)
3. press UP on the soundbar remote until it reads ID SET in the display
4. Verify that all speakers are playing and that the system is working
5. While the system is now on, press - (Minus/volume down) and + (plus/volume up) on top of the soundbar simultaneously until display shows INIT

After that the pairing worked, the rear speakers and SW reconnects when powering the system on, AND I could now connect the soundbar to the WiFi from the Smartthings app
