Agreed! I bought the Roku TV Wireless Speakers because I already have the Roku Soundbar and Subwoofer and I wanted the wireless speakers for a surround sound experience as promised and the results have been extremely disappointing. If I would have known they were going to be so quiet I would not have gotten them. I have the speakers directly behind my bed (1 foot from my ear) I don't even notice them except for very rare instances. I previously had a cheap Logitech surround sound setup and they were a a lot better. Hopefully an update will make them adjustable because right now they are pretty much useless in surround sound mode.
Agree a 100% I have wireless speakers and I added the sub and bar. My wireless speakers that I was very happy with were completely wasted in surround setup. 2.1 setup with just the wireless speakers and sub sounds much better than the full surround after adding the bar as well. I returned the bar and I won’t buy it until I hear great reviews from other users here.

Greetings Roku Team,
Any update on this issue? If there could just be someway to adjust the volume of the TV wireless speakers while paired with the Soundbar for Surround sound that would be great. Many are experiencing the same issue of the surround volume being too low.

Other than what I'd previously posted, I've heard nothing from tech support lately. Without wanting to sound snarky or snotty, I seriously have to wonder if, during product development, anyone there actually setup the soundbar, subwoofer and wireless speakers and thought, "yup, this is a good balance between the speakers". For goodness sake, the needed fix isn't a minor subjective tweak, it's a fix needed of something that I think completely fails to accomplish their claim of surround sound.

This exactly my experience less the sub. Debating on sending soundbar back highOPES that ROKU CAN FIX WITH A UPDATE FIX.

More a question of will Roku, not can Roku. Given that crickets are all we’re hearing from Roku I would be inclined to return the surrounds if that were an option

Has anyone else noticed? It appears that with software version 9.30 / Build 4134 of the Soundbar, the volume of the surround speakers has been significantly increased! Wow. For the 1st time since I've had the Roku Surround setup, I'm actually enjoying a surround experience! Still no user control that I can find (yeah, I'd still like to tweak it a bit), but the improvement is enormous. It's gone from non-existent to "Hello, here I am!". Good first step, Roku!
