Something terribly wrong after the latest firmware upgrade. My soundbar volume and bass level went pretty low. Previously it was much louder and better audio but after the upgrade something went wrong
I agree, I notice the same thing after the software update. I had raise the volume higher to get the sound louder.

I’m having the same problem calibrating my JBL. I’m on 1 calibration, it said retry. Sound bar makes it noise, both rear speakers work then calibration then the retry pop up. I’ve did WiFi and Ethernet direct connect. Can never get a hold of Customer serv
Just try they way of calibration! reset soundbar with surround speaker attached, restart soundbar remove surround speakers and place to listening position. Do not setup wifi/chrome/airplay/bluetooth etc. (Important)., Unplugged HDMI / ARC if any, keep subwoofer in line of sight. Calibrate for possition1. After success move surround speakers to back/final position. calibrate for postion2. In my case it worked finally.

Can you get stands for the detachable speakers?
L-shaped wall brackets are provided

For my JBL 9.1 calibration-1 always leads to "calibration retry" without finalizing the calibration. How can this be solved?
I had the same problem for hours on 1st set-up. I finally played an atmos source just to hear it uncalibrated & every time since it's calibrated correctly. Don't know if this helps?

My TV supports ARC but not eARC. If I connect my Fire TV 4k to the HDMI in on the soundbar can I still get uncompressed Dolby Atmos sound?
I connected my Apple 4K TV to the HDMI-in on the Bar. Then HDMI out to my ARC on my Sony. And I get ATMOS.

I have installed it but the status is not changing from load to ready. Any idea what needs to be done
Please connect the detachable speakers to the main soundbar first. Then plug in the power cord. If the display still shows load for a long time please do a reset:
On the soundbar, press and hold power and source button for more than 10 seconds.
“RESET” is displayed.
The soundbar shows “LOAD” and “READY” and then, goes to standby mode.

Will it passthrough HDR10 or HDR10+ ? (My TV only supports HDR10, so i need to know if i connect my Xbox to the JBL and than the JBL to my TV i will still be able to view HDR10 content).
HDR10 and Dolby Vision, yes. HDR10+, no.

Does my TV have to be eARC Compatible for me to hear Dolby Atmos Sound from this unit?
You can get Atmos via ARC too, it is just compressed compared to Atmos via EARC (if it's Atmos via blu ray, Atmos via Netflix and such is compressed anyway). This all depends on your TV though as some TVs support less features via ARC, so your mileage may vary.

What is the expected life of the batteries? I don't mean between recharges. I mean how many years should they be expected to last. What do I do when the batteries no longer hold a charge? I know they're not replaceable by the user.
The battery lifetime of the surround speaker would depend on your usage. The batteries of our speakers have charging cycles that get consumed when you charge your unit and completely discharge it. Temperature also affects the battery life.If you’re having issues with the battery of your Soundbar, please contact us so that we can assess the unit and check on your options: https://support.jbl.com/us/en/

Let me ask the question differently. I'm considering spending $1000 on a soundbar that relies on batteries to work properly. I don't want a generic "it depends" answer. What should I expect the battery life to be. When it dies, what are my options?
You can plug them in usb if the batteries die.

Why does the display say 'not supported' when volume is changed on the 'surround' button on remote when rear speakers are detached from soundbar. The rear speakers were checked, they were on and paired. The product was Mar-2021 make.Tested at 2 retailers.
Answering my own question after i digged deeper.
Unfortunately it is due to a defective peice. The charging case of the 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.

It's 2020, JBL - inexcusable to put out a brand new premium soundbar without an app and the fine-grained controls it needs and deserves. Please fix the oversight immediately and do right by your customers and early adopters of this fine product.
I agree with your statement. There 5.1 with wireless speakers has all the controls and can change to voice, sport mode, movie, music, you can actually turn down the surround with the 5.1 as the 9.1 low is just still to loud. It’s crazy they have even less features with the 9.1 minus the atmos speakers.

To have a Dolby ATMOS Experience the Movie also has to be encoded in Atmos Sound right ? So what if the Movie is not encoded in Dolby Atmos Sound ? Then what kind of sound will this speakers give ?
That's right the source or movie should be encoded in Dolby Atmos in order for the JBL Bar 9.1 to play it. If it's not encoded in Atmos, then it will only play the number of channels that it's encoded with.

Hello, i just bought JBL 9.1 soundbar some days ago. Soundbar is connected to a LG OLED 65C1 TV through eARC HDMI . But actually, the satellite speaker last only two/three hours of listening TV, far from 10 declared. Could they be already degraded?thanks
Thanks for your inquiry. The Detachable speakers of our Bar 9.1's playtime may vary depending on volume and music content. If the speaker doesn't meet the advertised playtime hours even at low to mid-volume levels, there could be a problem with the battery of the unit. Please contact our Customer Support via our website or toll-free number, so we can assist you.

2 Questions 1) How can I check the current version of firmware on my JBL 9.1 soundbar 2) How can force update the firmware to the latest version on my JBL 9.1 soundbar
Hold down the Input and Minus button on the sound bar itself for 10 seconds to view the firmware version on the sound bar display

Why no Voice Enhancement or Voice Assistance? These seem pretty standard in today's modern soundbars. Even low end soundbars have this option.
Please pass this on and ask them to work on it. This is high priority. Thank you

My calibration keeps coming up as retry. All wireless devices removed from the room and followed the steps in owners manual (pg 14), still get the same failure ("retry"). The room size is 12ft x 12ft with 8ft ceiling height. Can this be the problem?
Known issue:
1) unplug hdmi cable and try again
2) reduce volume to 4 and try again
3) Factory reset and try again

Is there any way to mute atmos speakers? It reduce effect of higher frequency/treble effect as every time on? JBL 5.1 TWS sports mode sounds much better, Sound mode selection supporting framework is required. Hope it will be release soon.
There is no Off setting on Atmos. There are hidden Sound Modes tho:
hold Bass for 5 seconds then press + to cycle through them

Is there a way to turn on the detachable speakers when I turn on the bar? Because when they are disconnected, after some time they turn off and do not turn on again when I turn on the bar. I have to turn on the two speacker pushing the two power button?
Thanks for your question. Once the satellite speakers turn off, you need to press each button to power it on. There are no settings that could change this feature.
