Added ROKU wireless speakers and then lost TV and Vizio sound bar audio

Just added ROKU wireless speakers and they sound great.  Unfortunately, I lost sound from my TV speakers along with sound from my Vizio sound bar through the optical input.  To no success, I've tried 1) system restart, and 2) trying different inputs on my Vizio remote.  Ideas or thoughts?  Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi, TVforLee

    Welcome to the Roku Community! 

    You’re absolutely right! Our Roku TVs, except the Roku Plus Series and Roku Pro Series, are designed to support one audio output only, which means they are not configured to work simultaneously with other audio sources. However, we truly appreciate your input and we will take this as feedback. Thanks for helping us improve.

    Best,

    OK - looks like I can only play one audio output at a time - wireless speakers or sound bar via optical or TV speakers, but not any combo of these.  I'll need to choose which output via Settings/Audio/Audio Output.  Wish I could choose multiple outputs!

      So, you're not even going to offer a work around such as purchasing a soundbar with outputs, purchasing an ARC Audio extractor with multiple outputs, etc.  There are work arounds you know, why not offer them?
