Finally, on September 28th Roku announced Roku 9.4 (link below). According to Roku with this update comes the following:
- Surround Level Control for Multi-Channel Audio – Users of Roku audio products who have a multi-channel speaker configuration will be able to adjust the volume of their rear surround speakers relative to the volume of their soundbar to match their personal preference.
Also according to Roku on the release date of Roku 9.4:
Availability
Roku OS 9.4 will begin rolling out to select Roku players this month and is expected to roll out to all supported streaming players, including the all-new Roku Ultra and Roku Streambar, in the coming weeks. Roku TV models are expected to receive the update in phases over the coming months.
This was back on September 28th, now according to Roku Support on Twitter who recently are still stating "in the coming weeks"
I'm happy Roku is finally listening to us after months of us asking, but wish there was better transparency in terms of the release of this update.
As promised here is the original link where Roku announces Roku 9.4:
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 see all of the same question, How/Can I adjust or turn up the volume of the rear ROKU wireless speakers. But I do not see the answer or solution! So. Is it possible to adjust the volume on these wireless speakers?

Hi, this was actually solved back in October (page 4 of this thread) and my answer above. Roku solved this with the Roku OS update to 9.4, which now allows you to adjust the rear speakers level. As for how to adjust when you are in a program (not on the home screen) but watching something press the Asterix button and then scroll down to Sound Settings you will see it there

No, it was not. Roku slapped a 3-position switch on their interface, and called it a volume control. It isn’t. It is a half-asses insult to their customers

Hi,
‘canyon tell me how to adjust it to loud/louder? I’ll be returning them unless I can figure out how to turn the sound up.

I also received the latest update to adjust the volume on the rear speakers. I am not sure how to do it. Are there separate controls to do this?

How do you adjust the volume?
- akakar48585 years agoStreaming Star
spanglg, did you update your Roku soundbar to the latest software of Roku 9.4? If so, then when you're in a program watching something press the * asterisks button on your Roku remote and then scroll down to "Sound Settings" and to adjust the rear speakers scroll down to Surround Level.

I think you have to be actively watching a show on the Roku device and then press star key on the Roku remote.
Then just follow the prompts.
Note: after you have adjusted the speakers to your liking, they will stay at those levels for when you watch programs from other inputs, like a Blu-ray player.

How do you adjust rear speakers when watching on a different HDMI input on a non-RokuTV?
I'm watching TiVo OTA on Samsung HDMI1 and Smart Soundbar (with Rear Roku Speakers) is on HDMI3(Arc). The sound works everywhere but the rears are way to loud because I was listening to music earlier. Can I adjust the rears while watching TiVo or do I have to flip over to Roku, adjust the sound, then flip back to TiVo?

Hello,
Finally got the subwoofer, streambar and wireless speakers connected! I see the surround sound settings (* on remote) for TV/Movie and Music. Nothing seems to happen on the first, but works fine on Music? Am I missing something, or does it require the channel to output something?
