I have been unable to get my soundbar to actually turn on for over an hour. Everytime I turn it on I get the updating message or the coloured rings. Do I need to do a warrenty claim? Is it broken?
-
Thank you everyone, all information has been forwarded.

@KennethSwauger
I also am having this issue. Please add me to the email list. Thanks for your time. -
Add me to the list too. I've reset 4 times and finally found this thread. Is this fixed and I just missed it in the thread?

@KennethSwauger Received an e-mail this morning, thank you so much!

Add me to the email list, I am still having issues with the Polk Command Bar, endless update loop.

I have a similar problem but now my Command Bar suddenly won't power up. Problem started last night during the update.
The bar tried to update twice (around 2 minutes between each restart) then on the third time it shut down mid-sentence just as Alexa was announcing the update.
From that point on I wasn't able to power it up again. Disconnected/reconnected the power plug, connected it to a different power socket in the house but no lights or sound in the bar. No lights or response either when pressing any of the buttons. The factory reset described earlier in the thread (hold "vol -" and "mic mute" buttons for several seconds) does nothing. The subwoofer does power up but, naturally, can't sync with the bar.
Note that I didn't mess with the power at all during the updates.
Another thing I noticed is that after each update restart, I asked Alexa some random things but it would take a long time to respond (example: over 15 seconds to respond to "Alexa, hello")
Is my bar hosed? Anything else I can try? I bought mine in Nov 2018 so I don't know if I'm out of warranty for this? -
Hello,
I'll send your post to Polk for a recommendation on what to do.
Thanks! -
@KennethSwauger thanks to you and @PolkCS for the prompt help with this issue, much appreciated!
Since this seems to continue to be an issue others are running into, couple of questions:
1. Is there a known root cause for what’s causing this issue?
2. Anything that folks could do proactively to avoid running into this issue?
3. Has the bad update been removed or replaced with a good update?
Thanks again. -
@KennethSwauger ,
First of all, thank you for taking the lead on this issue and helping the forum members. Really appreciated!
I am having a similar problem as well. After a recent update, the HDMI ARC and CEC features have completely stopped working, and even after a factory reset, the device is no longer seen by the TV, and audio is not being routed at all.
Would you mind forwarding my email address to Polk as well?
Thanks! -
Please could you add me to email please
-
I've forwarded this recent group of owners's email addresses to Kim, thanks. I know Polk's engineering team has requested a few of the defective bars back for examination and to find the root cause.

Hi recieved the email advising I will be sent a replacement thanks for that

Good, thanks for letting me know!

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has found a solution to this issue. I have a polk command bar with a sub also. I see people asking about adding their email to the list for support and I would like the same thing also if possible
These things are quite expensive and to have an issue like this is such a shame. -
Hello,
Are you experiencing the same thing as these people? Unable to receive the update?
Thanks. -
Can I also have details emailed to me on how to resolve?
-
Thank you, I'll send your email to Polk.
-
@KennethSwauger ,
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for your assistance with this matter. I received the email from Polk support with your help, and the replacement unit arrived this afternoon (within 4 days!)
Much appreciated. -
Glad to be of help, enjoy your new CommandBar! It was Kim Jasper at Polk that made things happen as quickly as possible. I was just the messenger boy.

I am getting a lot of momentary audio cut out on the replacement command bar than I ever used to get on the original command bar. It’s like a little .5 second audio screech then the sound resumes.
Roku is hooked up to TV and TV is connected to the bar via ARC enabled HDMI cable, same as before.
Thank you. -
Thank you so very much Kenneth and Kim for sorting this so swiftly. Our replacement bar arrived today and seems fine, but, as before, we are having major problems linking via the app. Any suggestions?

That’s a bit much for a slight technophobe! Anything simpler?
-
Aha. I tried something simpler myself: my iPhone SE and not my iPad. Success!
-
Looks like I’m in good company. Firmware update last week pretty much bricked my command bar. No problems before this. Kenneth, I’d appreciate you adding me to the list!
-
Will do...

Have today received my replacement, all the way from Memphis! Excellent service, with no quibble replacement. Set it up and what did it do? Started to update,but did so successfully. Thank you Kenneth and Kim for sorting this expeditously😀😀😀
