I have been using led strip in the back of the LG C4 tv, I lugged into the TV usb port. Usually the turn on when the TV turns on, and turn off when the TV is turned off. Starting today, the led strip stays on after the TV is turned off, meaning the USB port must be remaining active. I have checked and tried every setting I can see in the TV settings but nothing changes. How to make the usb ports turn off when the tv is turned off?

Issue
Whenever I start any video—whether it’s streaming apps, HDMI input, or a USB movie—the SC9S plays for a minute or two, then suddenly loses connection. Audio instantly falls back to the TV’s internal speakers, and the TV acts like the soundbar no longer exists on the eARC port. The soundbar display still shows “eARC” (sometimes flips to “OPT/ARC” for a second), but no sound.
Temporary Fix
The only thing that gets audio back is power-cycling the TV (standby isn’t enough; full reboot required). After that, the bar reconnects… until the next random dropout. This can happen multiple times during a single movie, which is a great way to kill the vibe.
What I’ve Tried
New HDMI 2.1-certified cable (same result, so original cable seems fine).
Disabled Quick Start+ and Simplink in the TV settings, then re-enabled.
Factory-reset both TV and soundbar.
Tested ARC instead of eARC—works, but no Atmos and same occasional dropout.
Plugged the soundbar into a different power outlet (in case of power spike).
Observed Patterns
Dropouts happen sooner with Dolby Atmos or DTS content, but even stereo YouTube videos eventually cut out.
No obvious heat buildup; bar is in open air, front facing.
Happens whether soundbar is wall-mounted or on its stand.
Questions for the Hive Mind
Anyone else seeing eARC instability with the SC9S on the UP77 series?
Could this be a handshake timing bug on the TV’s HDMI board?
Any hidden service-menu tweaks or firmware betas worth trying?
Should I just RMA the bar, or is the TV the real diva here?
Appreciate any insight—my couch and I thank you in advance!

From the days of clunky cartridges and boxy monitors, gaming has come a long way. Yet, even in 2025 and beyond, there’s still room for transformational leaps – like the recent arrival of Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) on LG Smart TVs. Thanks to this partnership with Xbox, LG is giving players new freedom to customize their gaming experience just the way they like it.
Make the Ultimate TV Choice for Modern Gaming
This collaboration transforms the conventional TV experience by offering access to hundreds of Xbox titles directly through the Xbox app. All you need is a compatible controller, a high-speed internet connection – and of course, an LG TV. It’s all about giving you the power to choose how you play.
But which TV model truly brings your games to life?
If you’re looking for a widely accessible TV built to amplify every aspect of gaming – and available in massive screen sizes – look no further than LG’s QNED evo lineup. Engineered for gamers, QNED evo TVs don’t just meet the demands of today’s top titles – they thrive on them. Here’s how.
Ultra-Smooth Gameplay Has Never Been so Accessible
Fast-paced games demand a display that can keep up. Precise, smooth gameplay can be the difference between victory and defeat – or between total immersion and sheer frustration.
QNED evo TVs prove that you do not need to splurge to enjoy the smoothest, low-lag gameplay. Laggy, stuttering scenes are a thing of the past with refresh rates of up to 165Hz, enabling more responsive gameplay, reducing motion blur and providing a competitive edge. LG’s α8 AI Processor helps deliver minimal latency and lightning-fast response times.
And there’s more: QNED evo models support Variable Refresh Rate and Auto Low Latency Mode for seamless tear-free gaming, while AMD FreeSync Premium keeps games smooth as butter.
This is all underpinned by four HDMI 2.1 ports – so you do not have to choose between multiple consoles and your soundbar. You get speed, fluidity and flexibility, all in one.
True Wireless Gaming TV With Zero Compromises
Speaking of not wanting to make compromises, some gamers just find cables distracting. Many turn to wireless HDMI transmitters. The trouble is, the quality of these can be inconsistent. That’s where LG’s Zero Connect Box steps in and changes the game.
This technology, found in the new QNED9M, enables True Wireless 4K connectivity at up to 144Hz – with no latency, no loss in quality and full support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It even meets the AMD FreeSync Premium standard.
With the Zero Connect Box tucked away, you get a clean, clutter-free setup. Plug in your console or stream directly through the Xbox app – either way, you’ll enjoy seamless wireless gaming with low input lag and no visual compromise. Game your way, wire-free.
Real-Time Adjustments for Competitive Advantage
You can make the most of all these benefits by checking out LG’s Game Optimizer, which allows for fast, intuitive control over the gaming experience. With a single on-screen dashboard, you can tweak key settings on the fly – like Black Stabilizer for better visibility in dark scenes. Whether you’re playing a first-person shooter, an RPG or a high-speed racing game, the Game Optimizer put you in control. Fine-tune in real-time and sharpen your edge over the competition.
Stunning Visuals That Pull You into the Game
Games also just look great on QNED evo models, whether you are playing in a bright room or a dark one. Underpinning their vibrant visuals is LG’s proprietary Dynamic QNED Color delivers unparalleled accuracy and true-to-life picture quality.
That’s particularly important in visually rich, cinematic titles where no one wants a washed-out screen to break the immersion. Thankfully, QNED evo TVs offer exceptional picture quality and 100 percent color volume, allowing gamers to experience stunning visuals with deep blacks, bright highlights and vivid colors courtesy of Dynamic QNED Color and cutting-edge Mini LED technology. Advanced AI algorithms raise picture and sound quality to provide an even more immersive gaming experience with superior clarity and detail.
Want even more immersion? Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos enhance every detail – every explosion, whisper and ray of light – to a cinematic experience.
Bigger Screen for a Bigger Gaming Universe
A final word on versatility and affordability. These are important QNED evo advantages. Attractive pricing compared with other top-tier TV technologies means more people are able to elevate their gaming experience with a QNED evo TV.
The lineup is broad, extending from 50 to 100 inches in size. Gamers who thought their dream 65-inch TV was out of reach, for instance, might find a QNED evo model that suits them perfectly.
There is also a consistent baseline of exceptional quality in the overall QNED evo gaming experience. This includes LG’s Gaming Portal, which enhances game streaming with effortless access to a wide range of popular and new titles. With a user-friendly interface, curated app list and personalized recommendations, it’s your central hub for game discovery and streaming – designed to make your gaming journey uniquely yours.
Be the Undisputed Champion in the Living Room
If you are seeking peak performance, stunning visuals and next-gen features – all at a compelling value – LG QNED evo is the ultimate choice. It transforms your living room into a true gaming arena, where every session feels like a front-row seat to the action.

Question
NikD63
I just got an OLED55C8. I won't have a cable or antenna connection to it, nor will I have any other devices physically connected to it. So there are no input sources to choose from. Everything I view will be coming through WiFi.
Whenever I turn on the TV, it comes on with the TV source selected. And because I have no signal sources connected to it I get a random noise picture and sound. If the volume was up high on the previous viewing, the random noise is pretty loud. It can be pretty jarring at times.
Is there some way I can set it so that upon power-up one of my streaming apps, such as YouTube TV or Netflix, is selected? Or can it come on with the volume off and on the home screen? If not, is there some way I can at least set the default volume level used at power on?
