Samsung is well known as a leader in the production of high-quality audio equipment. A Samsung soundbar is a larger-sized variation of a surround sound system that has multiple speakers. Soundbars can be mounted either above or below a display device such as a computer screen or a TV screen for watching TV or for gaming. When your Samsung Soundbar Remote is not working, it can throw off your entire family’s TV viewing and gaming routines and cause utter chaos in your household. Luckily, there are several common causes of your Samsung Soundbar Remote not working which can be easily investigated and then remedied.
If your Samsung Soundbar Remote is not working, open up the battery compartment and remove both of the batteries. Then, press down on any button on the remote for about twenty seconds. Then put the batteries back into the remote and test it to see if it is working properly.
If your Samsung Soundbar Remote is still not working, try using a digital camera to test the functioning of the Remote. First, turn the camera on. Then, go ahead and aim the Samsung Soundbar Remote at the camera lens at a distance of around ten inches.
Now, press any button on the remote and observe carefully to see if you see the Infrared beam from the Remote as it flashes on the screen of the digital camera. If the Infrared light of the Remote can be seen on the camera’s LCD screen, it indicates that the Samsung Soundbar Remote is working properly.
Samsung Soundbar Remote Volume Not Working
If you are utilizing a Samsung Soundbar, your Samsung Soundbar Remote is critical in making sure you have an adequate level of sound for your viewing and listening enjoyment. If your Samsung Soundbar Remote volume is not working, especially if you have a different brand of TV, it could be due to an issue with the audio output of your TV or with your TV’s audio settings.
If your Samsung Soundbar Remote is not working and the remote’s volume is not working, on your TV’s remote, go to Settings. Go to Sound and then go to Sound Output. You will see the Samsung Soundbar now showing as an option. Select it and then use the TV remote to increase the soundbar’s volume.
If this does not solve the problem, go to Sound Settings on the TV. Then select Additional Settings and Digital Audio Out and then change Audio Format to Dolby Digital.
You can also try doing a factory reset of your Samsung Soundbar and TV.
Samsung Soundbar Remote Battery Cover Stuck
If you need to change the batteries of your Samsung Soundbar Remote and the battery cover is stuck, it becomes a nasty conundrum that is frustrating and aggravating. The last thing you want to do is to try to force the battery cover open and risk cracking it.
If your Samsung Soundbar Remote is not working and the battery cover is stuck, press down with both of your thumbs in the area of the remote that is slightly depressed. Be sure to push down while pushing toward the end of the remote with even pressure to release the cover so that you can remove it.
