Did anyone have any luck using the Soundbar with a Fire TV Cube (2nd Gen) ? All the apps (Netflix, Prime, Disney) let me select Atmos sound but the soundbar only says &quot;Dolby Surround&quot;. No luck getting help from JBL .what is the solution?

Asked by: Jack74
I was able to get Dolby atmos on my direct cube but you need to make sure you have the newest version 2020. &nbsp;The first cube 2019 does not support Dolby atmos. &nbsp;I found that not all titles were supported with Dolby atmos by Amazon if it doesn&rsquo;t say Dolby atmos on the actual screen when selecting movie it will most likely play in Dolby surround. &nbsp;For this reason I returned the Amazon fire tv cube and got the roku ultra newest version and it upgrades everything to Dolby Atmos! &nbsp;Even the menu screens registers Dolby Atmos. &nbsp; &nbsp;I also tried the the Apple TV 4K and that had even less that would play in Dolby Atmos none of my Amazon prime videos or Vudo UHD would play Dolby Atmos. &nbsp;As soon as I switched back to the Roku ultra 2020 all the videos I thought should be Dolby Atmos were across all play forms. &nbsp;This works for me because Roku supports airplay so I don&rsquo;t need the Apple TV. &nbsp;

Does the JBL 9.1 display Dolby Atmos when playing Dolby Atmos??&nbsp;I have directly connected ShieldTV and FireTV to it (over HDMI)&nbsp;and am passing Dolby Atmos titles to JBL 9.1 but it says Dolby Surround on the soundbar. It says that for ALL Dolby signals.&nbsp;

Updated software and now noticeably quieter. Voices were clear at lower volume levels and now have to increase volume so everything is loud just to hear speaking.

Asked by: MikeK
I am also experiencing the same issue with my JBL 9.1 soundbar after software updates. Not loud as it used to be especially the subwoofer. I guess the power has been reduced.

Do the side caps for both the soundbar &amp; read speakers come with the UK version? In the specification &amp; manual it states &quot;some regions only&quot;

Asked by: Lees
Yes they do, although the &quot;UK version&quot; I ordered came with two EU power cords, not UK ones!

I have an 86&quot; LG 86SM9070PUA that has eARC HDMI 2.1 on the #2 input. I have my JBL 9.1 connected correctly, however if I play something from Disney+ app that is supposed to have Dolby Atmos? It doesn't display as such, it only shows &quot;Dolby Surround&quot;

Asked by: XBTV
I figured it out, I put my TV audio output on PASSTHROUGH.. That sent the ATMOS signal directly to the soundbar which then displayed DOLBY ATMOS!! WOW what a difference!!! Thank you JBL for a great product, please include EQ settings in future update or phone ap :)

Does the sound bar have any selectable EQ settings to boost center/voice or treble/bass levels?

Bought this yesterday and I can't adjust the rear speaker volume when I press it says &quot;NOT SUPPORTED&quot; speakers are working fine and it's detached as well.

Asked by: Chath
Unfortunately you have a defective peice. The charging case of your detachable speaker is malfunctioning which is causing the 'Not Supported' error, the case needs to be replaced. This is been noted in the March 2021 manufactured models mostly. JBL knows this.

Calibration keeps coming up as retry?

Asked by: Beman
Ethernet between JBL and router / modem... the JBL SB behaves much better with a wired connection. THIS IS VIP: As the calibration is wireless ie. between SB and rear speakers make sure you disable wifi from &nbsp;PC, mobile, tablets etc if not remove them from the area between SB and calibration placement (see manual). &nbsp;Thats what JBL omit from their manual yet its so logical...&nbsp;
