How to Set Up Q-Symphony on a 2024 Samsung Smart TV

Learn how to enable Q-Symphony on your Samsung Smart TV to sync sound from a soundbar or Music Frame with your TV speakers for enhanced audio. Includes Wi-Fi setup, device compatibility, and troubleshooting tips.

Q-Symphony lets you play sound from your Samsung soundbar or Music Frame and your Smart TV speakers simultaneously, creating a richer audio experience. This feature works with compatible Samsung soundbars, Music Frames, and Smart TVs released in 2024 or later. Follow these steps to set up Q-Symphony on your Samsung Smart TV.

1. What Is Q-Symphony?

Q-Symphony is a Samsung audio feature that synchronizes sound from your Smart TV with compatible soundbars or wireless speakers like the Music Frame. Instead of choosing between TV speakers or external audio devices, Q-Symphony plays sound from both at the same time, enhancing your viewing experience.

2. Supported Samsung Devices

Q-Symphony is compatible with the following devices:

- Samsung Smart TVs: Models DU7000 and newer, including 2024 releases.

- Samsung Soundbars: Models supporting Q-Symphony via HDMI, optical, or Wi-Fi.

- Samsung Music Frame: Wireless speakers released in 2024 or later (2023 models require a software update).

3. Why Does Q-Symphony Require a Wi-Fi Connection?

Q-Symphony uses a Wi-Fi connection to sync audio between your Smart TV and wireless devices like the Music Frame. This ensures seamless communication and synchronization between devices. If using a soundbar, you can connect via HDMI, optical, or Wi-Fi, but Wi-Fi is required for Music Frames.

4. How to Set Up Q-Symphony on Your Samsung Smart TV

1. Ensure your Samsung Smart TV and soundbar or Music Frame are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Open the SmartThings app on your phone and register your soundbar or Music Frame. Make sure your phone is on the same Wi-Fi network as your TV.
3. On your Smart TV, go to Settings > Sound > Sound Output.
4. Select Q-Symphony from the list of available options.
5. Choose the devices you want to connect (up to two devices, such as one Music Frame and one soundbar).
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

5. Additional Things to Check

- If using a soundbar with HDMI or optical cables, set the soundbar to the D.IN or ARC/eARC source using the remote control.

- Ensure your Samsung TV and soundbar or Music Frame are running the latest software version.

- Avoid enabling screen sharing (screen mirroring) while using Q-Symphony, as it may disrupt the Wi-Fi audio connection.

6. Troubleshooting Q-Symphony Issues

If Q-Symphony isn't working as expected, try the following:

1. Restart your Smart TV, soundbar, and Music Frame.
2. Check that all devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
3. Update your TV and audio devices to the latest firmware.
4. Re-register your soundbar or Music Frame in the SmartThings app.
5. Ensure your soundbar is set to the correct input source (D.IN or ARC/eARC).
