Q990C | Best Sound Settings....and does the sound LAG? 

Wow! These settings just made a huge difference. Thank you! Im going to continue playing with the settings but honestly this sounds amazing!

This is amazing.. After changing the settings as advised in this video, output of my Q990C is at different level now.. Thank you so much 🙏

Your settings are great! Now I can finally hear the rear speakers, and the overall experience is much more immersive. Coooool

Very nice and informing video,I have the hw-q950a and I have the same settings + the bass at 6. Good job man

I was about the return the product to Amazon today and I applied your settings which came out to be much better. Thanks mate!

I'll be damn, you're setting were PERFECT! Thanks man!

Like your videos. Getting the Q990C. Perfect fior my situation. I do recommend you get the Govee T2 backlighting for the TV. Its unbelievable how it improves how immersive a TV is and your white wall is perfect for it.

I like how you get straight to it. No bs

I just adjust my settings to this and holy shit it made a huge difference. Thank you for this info. Keep up the good work

Thank you for posting your helpful videos.

I have older hw-q950t was underwhelmed by sound initially but after much experimenting found it much better in a largish room to have front channels at -5 rear channels at +3 centre+1 subwoofer +4 treble 0 and bass -2 sounds absolutely awesome the newer models if set right for room must be unbelievable if better than this i thought the newer models had auto room set up?

Thank you so much for testing 😍❤️

Not gonna lie this made a huge difference! Thank you ❤

Thank you, Just bought the 910c with wired rears to my existing ceiling speakers. Couldn't find the control points even after reading the manual. Thanks for posting. Charlie San Diego

I just got the q990b open box at bestbuy for $800 im super happy with it. Was a big upgrade from my old sony htn-t 2016 model

Thanks! This video was very useful!

Thanks so much bro, this is my first high end sound bar, and you taught me so much that I didn’t know about changing the sound channels and now it sounds even better. Do you know if I can adjust rear upfiring mini speakers? Sound kind of low in my opinion!

Cheers buddy great vid, helped alot.

I really loved the settings you recommended because even I sit roughly around 14 ft from my TV and soundbar. The only downfall so tonsay is the bass vibe gets reduced. My SW is at +6 and bass is at +5 even then it feels very bass limited specifically some scenes whoch requires it

I dont normally like lights behind my tv, but yours looks really cool, maybe the fern in the corner helps. I just ordered the Q990c and should receive it on Friday. Thanks for your video.

Hey, thanks for the set up. I have a 2017 Samsung MU8000 65"...do I need to purchase / update to get better experience..? I was thinking of the 2023 Q-LED models....

Ok I’m about to try this

Hey . I have this Soundbar really good. My question is have you q symphony on or off ? Is there a bin difference with q symphony? I have lg Tv and not this Feature . Hope you answer 😊

Thank you for the settings! I'm using this system with a Samsung 77 inch OLED with Q symphony, sounds so good! Question, do you have the voice and bass enhancement turned on? What do you have the Woofer set at?

Is these settings applicable if you have rear speakers and other speakers? If you only have a soundbar and subwoofer? Will this be useless, or can I still use it?

Hi there from far away Croatia. I just wanted to ask if you have ever tried the "tap sound" function on the hw-q990c? I have Samsung oled 77s95c and hw-q990c and Samsung A53 5G and cannot get this function to work. Watched many video clips, followed the instructions and nothing🙄

Is it better to have the 2 satellite speakers in front of you or behind you?

Nice system sir!

Nice layout

A few tips to optimize the Q990C, or any soundbar for that matter. Treat it like how you would with a 2 channel setup. The Q990B is measured to be very neutral, so keep it at ear height to maintain that sound balance. If it is lower or higher than your ears, do not compensate by tilting them donwards or upwards as it will affect the upfiring speaker's angle. If it is on a TV rack, place it all the way to the edge to avoid any reflections from the rack itself. Do not treat side wall and ceiling first reflection points (or keep it free) as they are vital for keeping the sound as spacious as possible. A thick carpet is recommended between you and the main soundbar. For the best neutrality for music listening, -3 bass and +1 treble in standard mode gets you there. Adjust to taste from there. Hope this helps people that are trying to get a good setup.

I have great sound, but the voice is not loud enough even with the voice enhancement. Its sounds to dull. Any idea?

Curious what y’all think, I have the 990c, and when listening to movies it allows you to turn on or off virtual surround sound, but since I have real surround sound, should I turn this off? I toggled with it a little and can’t quite tell which is better. Opinions?

THX DUUUUUDE!!!

Do you guys keep voice enhancement on for movies?

Do u have any idea about the sub problem?...i just bought q800c and the bass is great for movies..but for music its really low i need to turn the volume all the way up to hear the bass and its really uncomfortable cuz the soundbar gets too loud..does the sub design for movies only or software problem?..do u face the same problem with the sub?

Another question i have the samsung hw q600b the settings its the same ?

Hello! Thanks for the video - I would like to ask - how about audio lag if you plug in a PC? I have a 4090 graphics card.

Why should I change the channel levels ? There is already a volume button on the remote control

Thanks .. When I play game ...can I change the volume level on the rear speakers?? Or it is automatically closed ..??

what is the blue light you use behind your tv

Hello bro on channel level did you put it on -6 or +6 I forgot what you put it on 🤷‍♂️

what is the best setting for music on the sound bar ?

Great awesome video. I am having problems with my rear speakers as I can barely hear them. Have to put my ears 20cm away to hear something! My settings are on SURROUND SOUND and the rear level is on max 6. Please help me fix this to get some better sound .Thank you

Can you buy extra speakers and a sub. To hook up to it

Would you advise the same settings if I sit less then 3 meters away from the bar ?

Hi, i have q990c and s95c , do you use q symphony? When i activate q symphony i hear a great difference with the music of the movies its more present and more deeper but the rear effects are less effective , i want to know your opinion about q symphony

Can I usee this setting to my Q800C?

The space fit options says not available when I try and turn it on or off , is there any reason why it says this ?

How is it that you have Space fit sound ‘PRO’ on your Q990C??

Can you please link me to the background LED glow product? Looks awesome. Thanks@

Hi! I hope you reply lol what do you have your subwoofer set up to? + or -?

Did you mount the rear speakers to the wall?

hi. can i use this settings on my Q800C?

Do you use q symphony and adaptive sound plus? I have the 990b on the qe55qn92b

Just received my Q990C, great sounding soundbar. My question is if this has happened to you or anyone else. After using it for a day or so I noticed the numbers on the volume display are gone. Only the + or - above and below the soundbar name on my screen. I mean it still works fine but I find those numbers useful. Did I unknowingly do something?

Does it do 120fps 4k if we use the earc hdmi port?

There were posts about q990b having xbox series x issues with dolby atmos and now since latest patch the non-atmos games. Is this the case? Have you tested atmos and non atmos games to see if all speakers/sub work correctly? Thanks!

Ima try this for my q600a lol one day I will get the higher end soundbar.

I'm taking a close look at your tests. I am currently using the Q990B, I know you have used the Q990B, do you think there is a difference between them in terms of sound quality?

Could you do a frequency sweep on it? I’m sure it’s a TON of people who’d love to know just how low the subwoofer can get, especially since they never print those specs….

Does Q990c support 120 fps ??? {Tv S95b Console Ps5 }

The reason why some people might have an audio delay is because they don't have their TV audio settings set to Passthough. Or they have a millisecond delay set on their TV (if it's a Samsung). By default it should be set to 0ms but the Audio might still be processed causing the delay in audio and not set to Passthrough. Also I am having the issue where my audio changes to just Soundbar from TV + Soundbar when powering it on. My suspicion is it's my Harmony remote setting HDMI1 each time I turn on my TV. If I use my TV remote to turn the TV (with eARC), then it keeps the audio option to TV + Soundbar. Definitely requires some playing around with settings to find the correct setup.

I have Q950A and there is audio delay with my xbox x when using dolby atmos. my xbox is also plugged into my tv which is a 77 LG C1. Maybe that's the issue. seems there's no lag issues for your samsung TV/soundbar combo. i'm considering upgrading to the 990C but unsure if the lag issue will persist. I really hope the solution is not to pair the soundbar with a samsung TV s😭😭

I have this soundbar as well, but I have these light strip beneath the display, and it's always on and I don't know what it means and I can't turn it off 😡

Sony ht-a7000 better or this samsung one?

i have q990b, any help?

Jbl 1300x or samsung q990c ?

Where do you sit when watching movies? I thought the rear speakers should be behind you, aiming at you, not completely at your side aiming in front of you.

Do you recommend standard or adaptive?

Good friend and what levels do you have of the central lateral and shooting channels (the atmospheres) and what improvements do you have activated? And for you... the best way is adaptive?

The problem I found is the sub. Way too small even for my tiny 15x15 room

Any disconnect issues with the left rear speaker?

Another thing is Ppl aren’t giving the Subwoofer adequate breathing room, the rear breathing hole should have about 10” space from a wall and about the same for the side

Hi your virual surrrond is on or off

Music Intro Pls! Thx!

How do you adjust the subwoofer specifically?

Raising the treble that high really thins out te sound ..best to keep it near zero...in my environment a minus two

Sony quad for me

Those are terrible settings. Change them immediately.
