Hi AliciaH,

Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with audio interruptions on your U7900 TV. If you're experiencing sound issues such as crackling, the steps below are designed to help you troubleshoot across different connection types.

HDMI ARC / eARC Connection
1. Use a certified High-Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet and ensure it's firmly connected to the HDMI eARC ports on both the TV and soundbar/receiver.
2. Enable ARC/eARC settings on your TV:
o Settings > All Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > HDMI eARC Mode = Auto
o Settings > All Settings > General & Privacy > External Device Manager > Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) = On
3. Adjust Digital Output Audio Format:
o Settings > All Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > Digital Output Audio Format
o Set this to Auto unless you're using a device that specifically requires Pass-Through.
4. Cold boot your TV by holding the power button on your remote for 5+ seconds.

Bluetooth Connection
1. Bluetooth connections can be sensitive to distance and interference. Keep the Bluetooth device close to the TV, and remove nearby sources of interference (e.g., wireless routers or other Bluetooth devices).
2. For improved stability, use a 5GHz Wi-Fi network if available.
3. If issues persist, we recommend switching to a wired connection (HDMI ARC or Optical) for a more reliable audio experience.

Wi-Fi / Wireless Speaker Connections
1. Make sure both your TV and audio device are on the same network band (5GHz is ideal for stability).
2. If you're using Samsung’s Wireless Audio features (e.g., Wi-Fi Speaker Surround Setup), ensure your speaker system is properly added in: Settings > All Settings > Sound > Sound Output > Wi-Fi Speaker Surround Setup
3. If signal issues continue, disconnect and reconnect the speaker from the network and re-add it to the TV.

Also Try:
• Update your TV's firmware: Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now
• Run a Sound Test to verify internal sound functions: Settings > Support > Device Care > Self Diagnosis > Sound Test

Hi TimothyB,

Thank you for your feedback on the lip sync issues you're experiencing with your Samsung U7900 TV. This may be related to the content source, but if you're noticing the audio delay across all sources or channels, especially when using an external speaker setup (soundbar, receiver, etc.), there are a few settings that may help:

1. Adjust Digital Audio Delay. You can manually increase the audio delay to better match the video: Settings > All Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > Digital Output Audio Delay

2. Enable Audio Pass-Through. Samsung TVs include an audio pass-through option, which sends the audio signal directly to your connected soundbar or receiver without additional processing by the TV. This can reduce delay when using external audio devices: Settings > All Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > Digital Audio Output Format > Pass-Through

3. Check for Firmware Updates. Ensure your TV is running the latest software, which may include performance improvements related to sound or sync: Home > left directional key > Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now

If the issue continues after these steps, please contact Samsung Support for additional troubleshooting or assistance. We’re here to help at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM – 12AM EST, 7 days a week. LiveChat and additional support resources are also available through the Support link on our website.
