sound bar connected to Xfinity box

I have my Samsung soundbar connected to the optical port on my X1 cable box so I can listen to music without the TV being on. Strangely, my soundbar comes on by itself at about 4 AM in the morning. Why is this happening and how can I correct it?

Is it possible the X1 cable box is getting a network reset/update every night and that causes the soundbar to activate?  Any setting in soundbar relating to 'startup on signal/connection activation'?

Hi Big-J, this sounds like an issue with the Samsung sound bar. To be sure have you tried disconnecting the sound bar from the cable box to test? If not I would recommend doing that first 🙂
