Why can’t I change music quality or play podcasts while connected to my Samsung MS750 soundbar?

Is there something I’m missing here?

Hey @Jph66, welcome to the Spotify Community!

Podcasts have some specific features which are not available on other audio content. This is why you can play it from your mobile device, but not from your speaker.

In the other hand, when you listen music through a Speaker, the music will always stream with the regular quality that you speaker uses. The quality settings on your mobile device will only affect the quality when you play music from that device.

Let us know if that answers your questions. Have a great day!

Thanks Julian for taking the time to reply.
I wish I had known that I wouldn’t be able turn the quality of the feed up on my Samsung speakers before I shelled out $1000 on them 😠
Cheers

I know, it‘s not the perfect answer,

but for now just use a 3.5mm audio cable with the Lightning - 3.5mm adapter included with your iPhone and plug it into the Soundbar.
