How can I get clearer sound, there's a distinct lack of treble? It gets even worse with the Samsung HW-H550 soundbar I also bought.

Use the built in equalizer under sound settings..depending on your age...anyone above 30 will start to notice high frequency sound loss. I am in that category. if that doesn't work, try a sound bar. My sound is perfect. Check all your sound settings and notice the different selections...movie, clear speech, etc. Fiddle with those first, then move on to the equalizer.

My Denon amplifier does not have your problem. The sound bar will only sound as good as the source

If you are getting unsatisfactory sound from two separate sources it has nothing to do with the set. I have the same shouldn't and it sounds fine to me. I would suggest going into your equalizer settings and adjusting until you find the amount of treble you like.

Olof,If it's happening on every input, it may be an issue with the audio bar. If it's only happening on one device, you might check the settings from the source to make sure you're sending the correct audio signal to the TV or audio bar. For instance, you wouldn't want to send a 5.1 audio signal to a stereo audio bar, otherwise the audio may lack significant clarity as a result.--Mr. S--Mr. S

The soundbar only has preset eqs and 3 level of subs. It doesn't have separate bass and treble settings. It's all presets

You can't. But you can (bear with me) in one of 3 ways. While there are no controls marked Treble & Bass, hitting the "Sound Mode" button effectively brings up the treble & brings down the bass in a fixed configuration. OR you can use the "sub woofer" +/- for more subtle grades OR you can go to the "menu" mode on your TV (most of them have same nowadays) and adjust the treble/bass functions there. I realise none of these is as simple as the old T/B function was (is, on many other systems) but they DO work, quite well.

No idea. At least, I never figured it out. The sound bar is about the worst conceived pieces of hardware I have encountered in a while. Avoid it.

Make sure TV sound is disabled. All sound will come through SoundPlate. It has much better sound than the TV.

My advice is return it like I did. And spend more money on a better unit. I bought a Yamaha 5.1 surround sound.

I had this problem. The solution: Make sure you have an HDMI or Optical cable connected directly to the soundbar from source (My AT&T; Uverse box). Make sure to set the audio settings in your source to output "surround". Most cable boxes come pre-programmed to output "stereo". You will hear the difference immediately...and it kicks A**!

Have you looked for a splitter? I just bought this sound bar. I had a similar issue as the only output from the sound bar is a 3.5 mm headphone jack type cord. I searched on Amazon and found a splitter.....3.55 mm to RCA cable....look for a splitter.... I hope this helps.......Steve

I am having the same problem (I hadn't noticed the volume level though). Anyone have any ideas?

I have a 2 week old Sound Bar with a similar issue as well. It emits a high-pitch (electrical) whine on stand-by. No firmware updates or results in Google yet. Just your post. May call Samsung before I return it to Best Buy.

Try reducing the output volume. I have to keep mine fairly low. Takes some tweaking

re Samsung soundbar: Thanks for the info Tim. I think this is the one for us. Reviews seemed to be mostly positive and it looks less complicated than some.

to me sound is no worse than other tv"s. i just wonder how you get a sound bar to work with this tv?

You don't need a sound bar. You can use the trusurround HD sound, the equalizer amplify effects. You have to adjust it to your preference.

Try using a different HDMI cable, if that doesn't work try a factory reset. Test to see if it's the cable or the device by connecting with the included VGA cable - if the audio is still irregular then it's a bad speaker most likely.

We just bought and the sound is awful as well. Looking for a mini soundbar now. Trying to figure out if this TV is bluetooth capable?

Same TV, same problem. I called Samsung and basically they didn't make their TV able to be listened to with both sets of speakers at the same time. Go figure. They should say that on the box then because that's insane.
