Magnifi Max SR subwoofer popping sounds and Optical Input Auto On issues

JohnDiv

I have 3 Magnifi Max SRs and they all have subwoofer popping sounds when there is no input while units are on and occasionally while watching TV/Movies. Firmware version 132 on all devices. 2 were built in 2018 and 1 built in 2020. Also optical input have no way of turning off Auto On. The optical cable is causing it to turn on and off on Sony TVs. Some Sony TVs if not most does not turn of Optical Output in Standby mode causing the Polk Sound bars to keep cycling on and off. Please add to the next firmware update the ability to turn off Auto On. Maybe a combination of buttons on sound bar.

Hello,
Probably the best communication path with Polk is: kim.jasper@soundunited.com keep in mind he will probably not respond until the middle of this week.

Move your subwoofer away from any mesh access point/router/modem. Had the same issue and moved it opposite side of the room and that stopped.
