SoundTouch 300 cutting in and out during a streaming movie

[diver45]

My SoundTouch 300 cuts several time while I am streaming a movie.  It drops out for just a second.  At first it happen maybe once or twice a movie but now it is happening quite frequently.  It's only happens while I am streaming.  Can anyone help me with this??  Thanks!!

Hello Diver45, 

Thanks for posting. 

This is most likely due to the internal processing of the film and the soundbar. Does this happen with all streaming services or just a particular one? It would also be great to know how you have your soundbar connected to your TV?

I have a similar issue. It does it while streaming my Apple Tv 4k, music from Tune in, bluetooth and my Samsung tv. I have tried everything in the troubleshooting section and no luck. Also read through all the different posts and still nothing. 

I have factory reset the soundbar, unplugged all my electronics(tv, soundbar etc), unplugged the hdmi cords, reboot my router, unplugged and plugged the soundbar and tv in order, disconnected it from the app. I also tried using either the optical cord and hdmi(arc) individually and still have the same issue. I just recently updated the software/firmware and did not have any of these issues prior to. It will also just shutoff while streaming music/movies and connected to bluetooth even after cycling through the CEC modes(on/off/alternate on). I have the Soundtouch 300, Acoustimass 300 and the surround speakers.

Thank you for your time.
