While you can still use the device even when it happens, a lot of the time, your Soundbar will stop playing till you\u2019re able to have it fixed.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Congested Internet Bandwidth<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, when your Soundbar begins to update, there may be a kind of stalling when you have too many connections to the internet source. In this case, you will experience an update failure, as such, become plagued with the blinking light while the speakers stop playing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Soundbar is Searching or Connecting to an Internet Network<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you used to, but for some reason, disconnected your device from your internet source, then at every boot session, it will retry connecting to the device before coming on completely. In the case when there\u2019s a scheduled firmware update, it might get stuck in the network searching stage making it extra difficult for you to play sounds with the speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Soundbar is Searching or Connecting to a Bluetooth Device<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on usage, your Soundbar may sometimes always attempt to connect to a Bluetooth device (smartphone) after every bootup session. In this case, you can simply fix it by switching the function if you won\u2019t be playing from your phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Soundbar is Paused or Muted<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of the lighting code associated with a working soundbar includes pausing and muting the speakers. There\u2019s not a lot to do here, a simple play, or unmute operation can stop the light from blinking. The same thing also applies when you\u2019re using the volume commands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bose Soundbar Blinking White Light: How to Fix<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bose Smart Soundbar 900 is quite the sophisticated sound equipment, as such, any serious issue will require the use of the expertise of a technical support staff. Luckily, the problems that may cause your device to start flashing its white light aren\u2019t serious.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Check your Internet Connection<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common solution to a blinking white light on the Bose Soundbar lies within the ethernet connection. If you were previously using your device without an internet connection, then this may not be the solution, however, if you do, then chances are that this may just be the problem you need to fix.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you want to make sure that your internet bundle is still active, then proceed to check how many people are using the network at the time \u2013 evaluate the bandwidth. If it\u2019s too close to the limit, you may want to cut some devices off so your soundbar gets a good share of the connection. Next, you want to take a look at the ethernet cable you\u2019re using. Check it on your PC to make sure it\u2019s a working cable, if it isn\u2019t you\u2019ll want to replace it right away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An interruption of the internet connection will cause your device to be stuck in the connecting phase, or fail to receive a firmware update, thus, the white light will start to blink.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Make Sure you didn\u2019t Mute or Pause the Soundbar<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your internet connection is good, then you\u2019ll be able to open the Bose Music app and check\/control the soundbar settings. Launch your soundbar app to confirm that your device hasn\u2019t been muted or paused without your knowledge. Doing this may cause the white light indicator to flash, however, it can quickly be reverted if you start to play again.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Do a Soft Reset<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The white light of a Bose soundbar will blink when the system is rebooting or being updated. While this is going on, you could have a situation where your network was interrupted, as such, the update won\u2019t be completed. In such cases, your device gets stuck updating, and the blinking indicator is stuck with it. Your quickest bet to get it working again is a soft reset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can soft reset the device by unplugging all connected cables and leaving it idle for about five minutes. On the next reboot, the previous update will remain, then you can attempt installing the new update again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The white light indicator on the Bose Soundbar 900\/700\/600 serves to notify users of several things going on with the device. In this article, we\u2019ve only covered instances that may result in your soundbar being unplayable.
