So Samsung rolled out a new update (1351) and as I had Auto Update checked, I got it. Most updates I don't even see what they've changed - but this I picked up immediately for the wrong reasons :

My Emotiva UMC200 is connected to the TV via HDMI ARC and although supporting DD+, I could never get it to work with Netflix streams. However, it didn't bother me and I manually dropped it to DD streams and I've happily run it like that for 18+ months.

This new FW forces output to DD+ - which means no sound from Netflix. Other other sound options are greyed out and this means if you don't have DD+... You're screwed. I think FW is for the 2019 range in general
