Changing sound mode on Roku Streambar

I have a TCL (Roku) TV connected to a Roku Streambar thats linked to 4 wireless roku speakers.

When I watch movies in say, Netflix, I want the sound mode to be in "movie" mode.

But if I want to play music via the Spotify app, I then need to switch to "music" mode in order to make the music play through all of the speakers (or else it only plays music through the two front speakers)

I have to manually change it each time (and then remember to change it back when watching content). Is there a way to automatically do this?

    Hi iblastoff​ 

    Thanks for reaching out! 

    I understand that you're having an issue with the sound mode of your Roku wireless speaker. 

    Could you try to follow these steps:

    1. Update the Roku device, navigate to Home > Settings > System > Software update > Check now
    2. Restart your Roku host device, navigate to Home > Settings > System > Power  > System restart
    3. Press the Reset button on the back of each speaker (Once the Roku device powers on, it may take a couple of minutes to re-establish the connection with your speakers)
