Hello, usarif,

Welcome to our Best Buy forum community!  As someone who loves to unwind by watching TV, I can understand what a disruption it would be to your day-to-day life to suddenly have the soundbar stop connecting to your TV. That's not the experience we want for you, but I'm grateful you took the time to reach out for support

I'm glad to hear that you thought to check the connections, as otherwise, that was going to be my first suggestion. That said, it makes me sad that you're still not sure as to why your soundbar is no longer connecting to your TV as intended. Have you tried disconnecting the AC power cord from the wall outlet, and then reconnecting it after a few minutes? That usually will do the trick when that model of soundbar is not powering up with the TV.

If there is still no sound coming from the soundbar after giving that a try, I recommend checking out our Home Theater Troubleshooting Guide, for other great troubleshooting tips.

Cheers,

Want to know how to ensure constant struggles with audio? Use ARC. It’s just not dependable. If possible route all of your sources to the sound at the out to the tv. I’d recommend a streaming box like Roke or AppleTV instead of built in apps. If you are forced to used built in apps or the tuner in your tv for audio, run a separate optical cable if you can. Eliminate the problems at the source.
