Hello @lmleung7, welcome to Sonos Community.

We are currently investigating an issue with the Sonos Beam (Gen2) losing the connection with some Samsung TVs after they come back from Standby mode, but I do not have an ETA to share..

The workaround as you mentioned would be to power-cycle the Sonos Beam or use the Optical Adapter.

Thank you for your patience.

Quick update, I've moved my Firestick to HDMI 1 from HDMI 2 but still using the Lindy CEC free HDMI adapter connected to it and since then I've not had to do a power cycle. Over a week now. Will keep monitoring though. 

Still think Sonos could add a reboot to the app.

Sonos updated to 16.0 yesterday switched on this morning and no Sonos sound so I had to do a full power cycle to get it back.

No it's not, a few of us have just experimented with different settings mine being explained just below this. I've also purchased a remote power socket that I've also used to easily do a power cycle. But at the moment mine is stable with what I've changed below.

Thanks for the reply. My work around is using the optical output - irritating!

My Samsung s90c to beam 2 has been stable for 3 days since the upgrade to v16.0 using EArc

Anyone else?

Tried this out overnight! Still same problem which is irritating to the extreme! Does anybody from Sonos have anything constructive to add to this conversation? Or they (Sonos) quite happy to market a product which is defective and does not perform to the specifications!
