Samsung HW-T400 soundbar noise issues

Hello

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

The issue you're experiencing with your Samsung HW-T400 soundbar when connected to a Windows 11 computer, but not with other devices, suggests that the problem may be related to how Windows 11 is handling the Bluetooth connection or audio processing for this particular soundbar.

Here are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Update Drivers and Windows 11:
   
   1. Ensure your Windows 11 system is fully updated. Sometimes, Microsoft releases updates that can fix compatibility issues with Bluetooth and audio devices.
      
   2. Update your Bluetooth and sound card drivers. You can do this through the Device Manager by finding the relevant devices and selecting "Update driver." Alternatively, check the manufacturer's website for the latest drivers.
      
2. Change Audio Output Quality:
   
   1. Go to 'Sound settings' in Windows 11.
      
   2. In the 'Output' section, find your Samsung soundbar and click on 'Device properties.'
      
   3. Click on 'Additional device properties' which will open a new window.
      
   4. Go to the 'Advanced' tab and change the 'Default Format' to a different quality setting. Sometimes, certain formats can cause issues with specific devices.
      
3. Disable Audio Enhancements:
   
   In the same 'Additional device properties' window from the previous step, check if there's an option to 'Disable all enhancements' or 'Enable audio enhancements.' If present, try toggling this setting.
   
4. Check Bluetooth Settings:
   
   1. Go to 'Bluetooth & devices' in the Windows 11 settings.
      
   2. Remove the Samsung soundbar from the list of paired devices and pair it again. This can sometimes resolve connection issues.
      
5. Experiment with Different Connection Methods:
   
   If your soundbar and computer both support it, try using an alternative connection method, such as a 3.5mm audio cable or an optical cable, to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is strictly related to Bluetooth.
   
6. And you may Perform a clean boot (microsoft.com) to see if it is normal, this is a troubleshooting step. In this mode, we can further confirmed whether it is caused by system problems or third-party software or personalized Settings. So please be patient.
   
   Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.
   
   These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by-step so that it will help you get you back on track.
   

If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.

W11; Bluetooth soundbar Incorrectly Recognized as headphones.

Hi joebegley,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

If your Bluetooth soundbar is being incorrectly recognized as headphones and the connection keeps getting removed or deleted after playing for a short period, there could be a few possible reasons and solutions to consider:



1. Interference or distance: Check if there are any devices or objects causing interference between the soundbar and the computer. Move the devices closer together to improve the Bluetooth signal strength and reduce the chance of interference.



2. Reset Bluetooth settings: On both the soundbar and your computer, clear the previously paired Bluetooth connections and start fresh. This can help resolve any conflicting settings or configurations that may be causing the issue.

3. Firmware updates: Ensure that your soundbar's firmware is up to date. Visit the manufacturer's website or refer to the user manual for instructions on how to update the firmware. Similarly, make sure your computer's Bluetooth drivers are updated to the latest version.

4. Remove other Bluetooth devices: If you have other Bluetooth devices paired with your computer, temporarily remove or disable them. Sometimes, conflicts between multiple devices can cause connection issues.

5. Check if the issue occurs with other Bluetooth audio devices. If so, it may be a wider issue with the Bluetooth adapter or settings on your PC rather than the specific soundbar.

6. Contact support: If the problem persists after trying the above steps, it's recommended to reach out to the customer support of your soundbar manufacturer for further assistance. They may have specific troubleshooting steps or be able to provide additional guidance based on the model of your soundbar.

Let me know if any of those suggestions help resolve the behavior of your Bluetooth soundbar being incorrectly detected as headphones on your Windows 11 PC. Troubleshooting Bluetooth can take some trial and error.

Your Sincerely
