4670X Roku Ultra lost audio

Roku Ultra (4670 series)  

I am on version 12.0.0, build 4184-46

 

For a few months now we've been having an issue where all the channel tiles disappear. Not that big a deal, when it's troublesome I can just do a system restart and they come back. Tonight however, after restart, the device outputs no audio. I can hear the sound it makes while loading, with the bouncing Roku letters, but once it loads to the home screen, there is no audio there or on any app. I have tried a 30 second power cycle via unplugging from power, switching to stereo in the audio settings, a few more restarts, pretty much everything except a factory reset. The bugs are ridiculous, guys, and according to my system telling me it checked for an update today and installed the last one way back in May, I'm wondering if this device is just no longer supported. If that's the case, that's a **bleep**ty shelf life. So, any suggestions on how to fix this, or should I switch to a different brand of streaming device? I hear Amazon fire TV isn't bad.

      The TV is not muted. As I said in the original post, I can hear the audio of the roku logo during the device boot up sequence. There are no error codes. If there were, I'd have mentioned them. Simply no sound on the home screen or any app/channel after it boots up. There are no audio devices connected, only other input devices (game consoles) which have no sound issues. The issue is clearly with the roku device.

      Using volume modes is not helpful. Again, as I said in the original post, I have tried switching from Auto to Stereo, which did not work. Please read what I say before replying and talking to me like I don't know how to check if my TV is muted. It's condescending and rude.
