Feature Request: Adjust volume Roku Surround Sound TV Wireless Speakers when paired with Smart Sound

Greetings Roku Team, 

I'd like to request an update or addition to the recently added Roku Smart Soundbar update where you can now pair the TV Wireless Speakers to mimic surround sound. Could you please implement an update where we can adjust the volume of the rear speakers (TV Wireless Speakers) for a louder/quieter surround experience. Currently the TV Wireless Speakers are often too soft to be heard when using them for Surround purposes.

    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.
