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!
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
Was this issue ever resolved?
In the past week, I have emailed Roku twice about this issue and I haven't had any replies.
Not to my satisfaction. They did implement a three level selector, but that’s hardly a true volume control. Their solution is for the surround speakers together. No individual control provided
Which is why I'm so glad this my secondary setup and not my primary. I would never ever ever go with Roku ever again on anything. No wonder why TCL is now also offering Android OS where you choose do you want Roku or Android, I have Android on my main setup and it's night and day better. No no its years ahead!
I have a Sony android TV too, but i still use the Soundbar for sound. What wireless surround setup do you use?
My main setup isn't wireless its a hard wired old school traditional method with a receiver and individual speakers. You're never going to get the level of control you have going that route with a wireless setup unless you spend $1500 on the Samsung HW-Q950T. Nakamichi is a more affordable option ranging from $700-$1200, but doesn't have room correction. Even Vizio is far and away better than this Roku setup ranging from $300-700, same doesn't have room correction.
Thanks, I am thinking of returning my Roku speakers now.
Are there any good surround sound speakers (with volume control) that can be paired to Roku streambar?
Sorry, I’ve not been following it. I gave up on wireless
Make sure the expanded stereo setting is on “music” (even if you are watching a movie or tv) then turn surround level up.
I feel my role in the debate here is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water. Well, as long as there’s, you know, ___ and _____, I could do without the rock n’ roll. But for now, turn "surround level" up to 11.
Bonus points if you can fill in the words!
