Roku automatically opens sound bar

When I turn on my Roku TV, it automatically opens the Roku soundbar. This is something that has recently been happening.

The only way I can get to the regular home page is by asking Alexa to open Roku. When I try to go to an app on the main page, it automatically switches to the soundbar and I cannot press cancel. It won’t let me press the cancel button.

How do I get it to open to the regular Roku page that has the other sources such as “HDMI, AV”. The Roku soundbar does not have those options and I need to be able to switch to an HDMI source.

    You must be using the Soundbar's remote, the remote that paired with Soundbar and not the Roku tv.  Even if it's just the Tv power key, you will ALWAYS go to Soundbar's home screen if you use its remote. The remotes might look the same and you're getting confused on what remote goes with what device? Get remote covers for each, use different colors for the Roku tv, and Roku soundbar. Also make sure they are set to different themes on screen graphics.
