HDHomeRUN - No longer able to change channels or use any other app functions.

I am suddenly no longer able to change channels or use any other HDHOMERUN app functions on my Roku Premier+. I have restarted Roke box and have also uninstalled the HDHOMERUN app using the Roku and ...

    Only Silicon Dust can revert their app in the Roku Channel Store, Roku themselves cannot control that. It's completely under the control of the developer, in this case Silicon Dust. 

    As an FYI: the HDHR app on your Roku is written in a completely different programming language than what's used for virtually any other platform. So the fact it works on a different platform (I tested my Nvidia Shield and it worked fine, my Ultra 4800 won't even load the channel that was selected on start) is meaningless for the Roku devices. I will also repeat something I heard on the SD forums in the past: they aren't making much of an effort for their Roku app. I can't recall if they gave an explanation about that statement, but their Roku app was their lowest priority.

The app version that updated on my Roku Premier+ on 4-14-24 is the same (91.0 build 20240410).

I have uninstalled, re-installed, rebooted Roku numerous times. I can view channel bar/guide, but still no audio or ability to change volume.

Using the Roku Media app (as suggested in an earlier post) I can view HDHomeRun channels with audio. However, this is a very cumbersome and slow way to watch local TV.

I just tested it on my Premiere, and while it will now load and display the selected channel, I too am not getting any audio. I know it's not a problem with my HDHR, since it is used by my Android based apps without an issue, as well as my HTPC which uses it for OTA recording.

    I get sound from my HDHomeRun Quatro and my 3920 Roku.  The Roku is on 13.0 and the SD app is 91.0.20240410.  Do you all without sound have any volume modes enabled (night/leveling)?

      I just tested my 3920 again. Still no sound, and I tried several different channels. No sound modes engaged. I have the HDHR Flex 4K.

        I just tested my Ultra 4800, and it works fine. So it appears the Premiere 3920 is the problem. When I get a chance I'll provide a trouble ID for that one.
