Response from Samsung USBy Samsung Solutions, April 29, 2026
Hello Jtak,
Thank you for taking a moment to review the HW-Q990F Samsung Soundbar.
There are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot your Soundbar.
First, you will want to download the latest software for your Soundbar. You can download the firmware directly from Samsung’s website by clicking “Support” in the top right corner. Then go to “Manuals & Software” > “TVs & Home Audio” > “Home Audio” > “Sound Bars”. From there, you can select the HW-Q990F under Q Series.
Download the update and install it via USB thumb stick to your soundbar. If you need additional help, there are how-to instructions on this page. Please know that Samsung Customer Service is here to assist as well.
Alternatively, you can download SmartThings on your iOS or Android device. This will allow you to update your Soundbar automatically or manually right from your phone or tablet.
Please verify that you are running the latest firmware on your TV. You can check to see what software version your TV is using and if there is an available update through the settings on your TV. Go to: Menu > Settings > Support > Software Update.
First, try doing a soft reset, unplug the soundbar from the outlet for roughly 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
If this still does not correct your issue, then do a hard reset. With the Soundbar on, press the + & - Volume buttons on the body of the soundbar at the same time for at least 5 seconds. INIT OK” appears on the display and then the Soundbar is reset.
While the Soundbar is On, press both the Vol+ and Vol- buttons on the unit simultaneously until the display shows "INIT", then release. If this doesn’t work, then try using the remote control: While the Soundbar is ON, press and hold the SOUND CONTROL ("Gear") button on the Soundbar remote for 10 seconds. You will see "150HZ" on the display. Keep pressing until you see "INIT" on the display, then release.
If you need more help, Samsung is here for you. Please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, Mon – Fri 8 AM – 9 PM EST, Sat & Sun 8 AM – 6 PM EST. Live Chat with an agent as well as manuals, software, creating a service ticket, and warranty info can be found at the ‘Support’ link on our Samsung website.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good setup connection is a breeze the voice commands work lovely most of the time. On head ache I have with it all is this big huge speaker system is so called has horrible bass for such a big subwoofer and box. But you cant tune it so u can actually here it. I mean the whole system is beefy just the subwoofer falls straight on its face. The soundboard and rear speakers trys to come out with so.e bass but all u get us very load tremble and background noise but if u all could fix a bass that the subwoofer is supposed to push out then u all would be untouchable from any other brand out there. And make a super good equalizer and make sure u can tune the bass in as little or as much as u want then I would even put in a Lil more equalizer to make the sub hit like a earthquake mode that will really bring the system wattage level out to play.
