What should I do if my Samsung sound bar is not working?

How can I control the sound on my Samsung TV?

Why is my sound bar remote not working?

Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Then let go and plug the soundbar back in. Use the power button on the soundbar to turn it on. Then test the remote again.

Is the sound bar connected to the TV?
