Permanent fix for eARC Soundbars:

Goto All Settings \ Sound \ Expert Settings

Switch eARC to Auto

I've been using it like that for days and days - no drops!

=================================================================

Temporary fix for non-eARC Soundbars:

Goto

All Settings

Sound

Expert Settings

DiGital Output Format

Select PCM

 

Works for me. Couple of hours without a single drop.

Id suggest we each take this with your local Samsung distributor. The more pressure we put on them the better.

 

==============

Original Story:

I have a per of QN90c 75" TV and a Q990B soundbar.
After the TV was updated I immediately noticed sound drops with my soundbar. The drops would come at random intervals. Resetting the TV does not help. Neither does changing sound modes. Output via TV Speakers seems to be working fine drops-free.
Searching online i found a few more similar cases with different Samsung TV models and Samsung soundbars affected by the same firmware.

Here's one:

issu with sound after last update - Version 1402.5 - S95C : r/S95C (reddit.com)

The new update 1410 is still not available in Germany for QE55S95CATXXH. Ho w long does it usually take for updates to be available in all countries?

model : QE55QN94CATXZT Europa.

Even in Italy no update to 1410.1 My TV was updated to 1402 and has the same problems as you but is connected to a Yamha RX-V675 receiver.
Audio On/Off every 8-10 minutes with Striming WI-FI app.

Same here. UK QE55QN90C. Sound output via Yamaha RX-V481 AV Receiver. Worked great up until Firmware 1402.5, now sound intermittently  drops out for a second at a time when using streaming apps and broadcast TV such as ITV.  A bit like when individual words are censored. 

Really annoying and spoils using the TV.  I see the UK website shows latest firmware has been reset to previous 1310.3 which is no good if your TV has already updated to the buggy current version.

 

Samsung need to get on and fix this as it reflects badly on the company and the quality of their products...

Did it fix the problems? 

Just installed myself, we’ll see what happens. EArc back to auto and sound mode back to auto.
