@NaikP Word for Word my exact problem. Recieved my "repaired" bass module 700 on saturday 10/17 from bose and its still having the exact popping noise from the bass module. They gave me the same solution. If you experience a popping noise please wire the bass module with a 3.5mm jack. This is not a solution bose. Please fix this.

I think the issue you are describing with your bass module is different from the one reported here.
I do not have issues with the bass module, but the sound (from all speakers) just drops for a few ms (around 1s or less), and then comes back straight after periodically. (I do not have a wire to connect the bass module to the soundbar)
Not sure if all these issues are related... but there are definitely a lot of issues reported with this soundbar.
I bought the 700 Soundbar + sub yesterday and I also experience micro dropouts every 10-15 minutes.
@Twarkie : It doesn’t matter what settings or configuration you have in the setup. I have been using flawlessly for about 8 months untill there was an update to bose music app and firmware update. I had the same wifi, same TV, same way of input, everything same; only different thing is this new firmware.
I am still surprised that Bose is not doing anything for this major issue which is causing an impact on their sales.

@Tboddy0001 : Yes you’re right. Connecting a wireless module via wire is not a solution and we didn’t buy the sounbar if we wanted to wire the sound system.
Let’s cross our fingers and wait for Bose to provide an update for this issue.

If you all haven't done so already, I definitely recommend leaving a review on the Soundbar 700 page to help others not make the same mistake we did purchasing this unit: (review section towards the bottom) https://www.bose.com/en_us/products/speakers/home_theater/bose-soundbar-700-package.html

Also to get this issue fixed, on top of adding a comment in this thread, please make sure you do the following:
Only posting in this forum will not change anything. This issue needs to be escalated to the DEV team by as many people as possible. You will not get a resolution on this forum...
This is great advice @ThierryB I will be doing this as this audio issue HAS to be resolved and sooner rather than later.
Hi guys , my SB 700 has suddenly dropping sound now and it happens for over 30 seconds. Looks like it started to happen after the new firmware update 5.0.12.
For some odd reasons the SB keeps looking for WiFi And the white light starts to blink ,there is small pop noise which comes before the white light blink..and no sound from the SB till the light is blinking which might happens for 10 , 20 and sometime more than 30 seconds.
This happens for multiple sources Netflix/Amazon and a Usb movie...tried factory reset / ethernet connection/ different network/ manual firmware update again to 5.0.12..but still an issue..and it is getting very frustrating. Bose tech team please action on this.
Hello All,
I tested my unit after 5.0.12 update(i'm not sure when it got updated). I have tested the Aquaman movie where I was able to reproduce the popping noise on my bass module, I could not see a popping noise as of now. and no more dropping sound.
I have connected xbox and soundbar with ethernet to reduce number of wifi devices. During these days it is very hard to avoid wireless devices. However, let me wait and see if the issue comes back.
Thanks,
NaikP
