Hi dontod,

Greetings from the Roku Community!

We're glad to assist you with the audio issue on your Roku Streaming Stick+. We'd like to know more about it so we can assist you further.

  • When did the issue start?
  • Do you have any other devices connected to your TV? (e.g., speakers and other sound systems)
  • Have you tried updating your Roku Streaming Stick+ to the latest software version and see if it fixes the issue (Settings > System > Software Update > Check Now)?

In the meantime, you can try to factory reset your Roku Streaming Stick+. However, it clears the majority of data from your Roku device, does not guarantee issues will be fixed, and restores it to a factory default configuration. Specifically, the process will erase your personal preferences, unlink your device from your Roku account, reset all settings, and return your device to a state ready for initial setup.

We'll wait for your update.

Kind regards,

Eunice

    Roku (Eunice):

    The “issued” was noted on or about October 13, 2023 as a low frequency of incidences and has steadily increased since then to a near constant “issue.”

    Devices:

    • Samsung QLED Q6DT TV
    • 5.1 Sound Bar that is Wi-Fi connected to the TV
    • AT&T U-verse CATV box hard wired to the TV with HDMI cable
    • DVD Box, hardwired to the TV with an HDMI cable
    • Logitech Wi-Fi dongle key in TV USB port for wireless mouse & keyboard
    • Roku Streaming Stick+ in TV HDMI eARC port and into a USB 5 amp USB port

     

    Software Update has been checked and executed several times.  No help.

    The Roku Streaming Stick+ was moved to a different TV with only an AT&T Wi-Fi CATV box attached and the “issues” persisted.

    “Restart” is no resolve the issue.

    I executed a factor “reset” as suggested.  This did NOT resolve the “issue.”

    • Software is 12.5.0, Build 4178

    The Issue persists.  Suggestions?

    Regards,
