No more bass boost? Audio menu changed
All of my Roku devices no longer have bass boost or surround options. Has a setting changed or something else?

jtac140 I have the Roku wireless speakers and subwoofer paired to my Roku TV. I live in a very large apartment and the subwoofer is not an issue. The Roku wireless speakers really don’t have much based because they’re meant to be used as surroundsound speakers. With Roku 10.5 I had plenty of bass. Sound was set to normal and bass at 4 and treble at 6. Now I set the sound to movie and did not touch any other settings. Leveling is off. With Roku 11 the sound schemes changed. But the wireless speakers aren’t supposed to have bass. They aren’t meant to. That’s why you pair it with a subwoofer. I have a Samsung Soundbar with subwoofer on another tv. The soundbar is nothing without the sub.
Trust me I get what you're saying, but it just had more of a bass presence, or at least seemed like it had more bass than what it was. I may just have to invest in the other pieces, but the fact is my apartment is really small and the walls here are paper thin, which is why I don't want to go with the subwoofer, but I might just have to bite the bullet so to speak and pick one up so I can play with it for a bit. I do have another question if you don't mind me asking though. Maybe I'm just getting older, but the speakers seem to produce a muffled bass dialogue with certain vocals coming through the speakers. Not sure if I'm the only one hearing them this way, but does the soundbar help with the muffled bass response with male vocals? Majority of the time it's fine, but some dialogue is hard to understand because of that. I know we have the speech clarity option now, and I've been playing around with it, but it also reduces overall bass frequencies. Anyway, thanks for the input 😁👍👍
