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!
For all who are finding the surround speakers to be inaudible, make sure your system is updated to the latest version (9.3.0, build 4170). They did a significant improvement to making the surround speakers audible, but there is still no separate user control for the balance between speakers.
I had the most updated software (just to be sure I checked both my Roku TV and the Roku Soundbar). It is super quiet.
I don't have any plugs near my couch in my living room, my speakers are on stands on the back wall of the living room (~ 3 or 4 feet away from the couch). Unless I am standing within 1 foot of the speaker I can't hear them.
It's ridiculous to assume that everyone would have exactly the same surround setup in their space with the speakers on (what looks like in the diagram that appears during setup) a table directly behind the couch. Further, this problem would be so incredibly easy to solve by just giving an interface to increase in volume on the speakers based on distance!
Has Roku made any attemp to correct this problem?
