      Hi, James. Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand the importance of having your LG S40T soundbar deliver clear and powerful audio.

      To improve the sound quality, please try performing a reset by pressing and holding the Volume Down (-) and Sound Effect buttons on the remote control simultaneously for about 5 seconds until you see the reset message. After the reset, reconnect your soundbar and select the Sound Effect mode (such as Standard or Cinema) to test if audio improves. For more guidance, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeSDeTZbKnk. If the issue continues after these steps, kindly send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com so we can assist you further. ^Juvy LG

      Hi, Kenny. Thank you for reaching out and sharing what’s been happening with your LG Soundbar (S40T) model. We understand the importance of having a sound bar that stays connected and performs consistently. One helpful step you can try is performing a power reset on both the TV and the sound bar. Unplug the sound bar for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in and reconnect it using either HDMI ARC/eARC or optical, depending on your setup. If you’re using Bluetooth, removing the device from your TV’s Bluetooth list and pairing it again can help stabilize the connection. For more guidance, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/audio-cutting-out--20154860345938. We’d be glad to take a closer look at this for you. Please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We're here to help. ^Juvy LG

    Beware wireless subwoofer

    When the subwoofer actually paired and stayed paired, the sound was quite good. The problem is that the subwoofer never stayed paired consistently. Even though the soundbar and the subwoofer were about 2 feet apart from each other, the bluetooth pairing was never stable. Had to return this.
