Every time I connect my iPhone/MacBook Pro via to the soundbar HW-Q990B via Bluetooth or AirPlay, it plays for a minute or two and then audio pauses.

On my iPhone, it shows that my Bluetooth is still connected to the soundbar, but when clicking the resume/play button on Spotify/YouTube/etc, it plays the audio on my iPhone, not the soundbar.

Similar issue when trying to AirPlay with iPhone, Bluetooth & AirPlay on macbook.

 

Setup:

- HW-Q990B (Soundbar, subwoofer, 2 rear speakers)

- Sony XR A80J connected via HDMI eARC (works perfectly fine)

 

I've tried:

- Factory reset

- Update firmware to latest via iOS SmartThings app (firmware version: HW-Q990BWWB-1008.2)

 

This isn't an issue with my iPhone/MacBook Pro because:

- No problem connecting to other devices via BlueTooth/AirPlay from even further distances (e.g. Sony headphones, UE portable Boom speaker, Sony tv, PC)

- Using latest iOS/macOS versions.
