RC73 remote not working with Samsung soundbar!

We had a new install of a DirecTV HR54-200 with RC73 remote.

When it was setup and for about a week it worked great with our Samsung TV & Soundbar. When you turned on the DirecTV the soundbar went to HDMI mode but after about a week it goes to TV-ARC and we have to used the soundbar remote to change it to HDMI ..... what's changed?
