Ya I gave up trying to rely on it. Hooked the TV and soundbar into my Home Assistant server and setup an automation where it will turn on the soundbar as soon as it detects the TV is powered on. Seems goddamn ridiculous to have to rely on a home automation server to coordinate power to two entities that are directly wired together, but at least it works. In the old days when everything was controlled by IR remotes it was easy to setup a universal remote to control everything with no issues, but no now those are "obsolete" and we have to rely on a new standard that's ####tier in all respects
