    Hey, Kyleeeeee 

    I understand you are having issues with your Hisense Roku TV, where there is no option for switching audio output.

    With the Roku mobile app, you can connect to your Roku TV and use headphones plugged into your phone or tablet for private listening. For more details, feel free to visit this link. 

    Thanks,

Here are a few things to try:
Check Audio Settings: Go to Settings > Audio and select the correct audio output (HDMI ARC, S/PDIF, etc.).
Check Connections: Make sure all cables are securely connected, and if using HDMI ARC, enable CEC.
Update Roku OS: Go to Settings > System > System Update to make sure your Roku software is up to date.
Restart Devices: Power cycle both your TV and audio device.
