 Hi, It's me. Actually, once I turn off the TV i lose the communication to the soundbar. I have to unplug the HDMI and plug it again to force the handshake or whatever it is the two devices to work together.

I will try the workarounds from this thread as my workaround may damage the port on the TV 😨

There is a thread about the issue. Please use it instead.

TL;DR unplugging and plugging the HDMI cable back to the TV fixes the problem until the TV is turned off. Next time the TV is on I have to repeat this.

I have the following setup:

• TV: LG SK8500PL
• SW Version: 05.50.10
• webOS TV Version: 4.4.2-10 (goldilocks-gorongosa)
• Soundbar: Samsung Q950A connected via HDMI ARC port. 

It used to work OK but one day it stopped reproducing sound from the soundbar. When I try to adjust the volume I just have a grey DISABLED icon.

So far, I have tried to play with all kind of options from the menu of the TV and I have power cycled it, factory reset the TV as well. I have tested the soundbar and the cable with my other LG TV and it works perfectly. I am assuming it is a hardware problem with the port, but I just wanted to ask here for any advice?

Today unplugged and replugged the cable (again). The issue was gone. Could be some SW update on the Soundbar as I had a BT sync issues which are now gone.

One more disappointed customer of LG WebOS TV. Will never buy LG TV again...

Is there a way to watch HBO GO on a non supported LG TV. My model is 47LB650V and is not listed in the supported TVs on HBO GO website.
