    Why does my Samsung sound bar subwoofer keep cutting out?
    salvatore
    over 1 year ago
    The sound on your wireless subwoofer can drop out if there is interference or a physical obstruction between the soundbar and subwoofer. You can try checking the firmware version, resetting, and reconnecting the subwoofer.
