Finally the update is here and yes it definitely does change everything! You can now adjust the rear wireless speakers from low-normal-louder-loudest. Thank you Roku finally!
I was so impressed by the sound of my new Roku soundbar, that I went ahead and purchased the rear speakers a few days later. To my surprise, there were no individual volume controls for any speakers, let alone front vs rear. I'm truly shocked at this as no single home will have the same physical setup or layout and any proper surround system needs to be tweaked for its surroundings. This is a huge "miss" on an otherwise great system. If this is not something that will be fixed or updated soon I find myself wanting to return this and look for another solution. After spending $400 for surround sound you would think that you could control volume levels at least front and rear. Point being unlike everyone else in this thread, my rear speakers are too LOUD and I've moved them away as far as I could, they drown out normal dialogue of the movie and I've tried adjusting all 'TWO' audio controls Please fix this issue for all if your frustrated customers.
That is interesting are you able to lay out your system and what you did with your settings to get them to be loud?

So my issue all along hasn't been that the volume is too high or too low, my issue has been we do NOT have control over the volume to set it to high, medium, low or to specific number lets say between 1-100. There are different situations where at times you want the surround sound to be lower or higher.
Just bought the wireless speakers to add to the soundbar and wireless sub-woofer. While I am generally pleased with how these three products seamlessly integrate, the glaring omission of an independent volume control for the surround speakers is astonishing. It's both a marketing and engineering failure to provide simple, basic tools to deliver simple, basic product integration. The only reason I have not returned the product is my belief that ROKU will fix this perplexing omission soon, because it is simply too embarrassing to ROKU to believe that they won't. I have to marvel at your product managers, who can waste development dollars on a second satellite remote that no one likes or uses, but saw fit to untick the box for an independent volume control feature for the wireless speakers. What? So nearly close to getting it right, ROKU, but not yet.
