Re: TCL 8 Series, Roku TV, CEC, EARC "Inactive" Issue...

I just purchased a Roku 55r6a5r and I am having the same problem with the same troubleshooting steps.  The audio DOES work through the optical but of course NO volume control.  On my old Roku TV I could add control to another audio device but Roku seems to have dropped ALL support for non-Roku devices - bad move Roku!  I have Vizio soundbar with ZERO interaction on the Roku TV but I can hook it up to my LG TV and the Soundbar works great through HDMI.   Come on Roku - cut this out and get your HDMI interface FIXED!! #Roku

The issue is that I have followed the steps for a Roku TV and when you hit the section on ARC it doesn’t appear in the menu.

We would be more than happy to look further into this issue, but we will need more details. Can you please provide us with the following information:
