Ratings and reviews

On SN8YG, when playing audio over HDMI in there won't be any audio until I open the app. Just opening the app is enough for the audio to work If switches the speaker to Bluetooth input everytime I open the app. On my SP2 if I am using HDMI In and want to change the volume with the app then it is an annoyance since the app switches the speaker to Bluetooth then I need to change the input back to HDMI In. Bluetooth is setup not to use the speaker as an audio device so that doesn't cause the issue.

Had two different soundbars (sp8ya, sp9ya) connected for two months, no issues. Then, suddenly stopped working (no app/hardware/firmware updates/changes). Now I can see both bars when trying to connect, however, after a dozen attempts neither will connect to wifi. I've reset EVERYTHING multiple times, no dice. This ruins the bars as most of the important settings/setup are only accessed via the app. Now complete trash. Returning both. Didn't know LG dropped app support when they dropped mobile.

So far, the app is useless...freezes during setup on Samsung phone. I managed to get the LG soundbar connected and running without the app...a real clunker so far. OK...thanks for reply. When I turn the app on, it tries to set things up. I get tot he screen that asks if there is a wireless key on the soundbar. The screen freezes there...doesn't allow me to press Yes or No. I have a Samsung SM-G955U with Android version 9.I've tried it a few different times with same result.
