Roku Pro series tv with 5.1 audio - coming in the future?

I purchased 2 pairs of wireless speakers, the wireless soundbar, and the pro subwoofer and apparently I can only use the 1 pair of wireless speakers for rear audio as a 3.1 setup. CRAZY to me. Come on guys...when will 5.1 be supported? Do I really have to buy a Streambar Pro to accomplish decent surround sound?

    Hi, Stebs Welcome to the Roku Community!

    Thank you for your interest in setting up 5.1 audio on your Roku Pro series. Please be advised that at this moment, you can only unlock more surround sound configurations on a Roku TV system, such as 3.1 and 5.1 surround sound, by using a Streambar or Streambar Pro.

    In the meantime, we completely understand your input and greatly value your feedback, which will help improve Roku streaming devices/TVs as a streaming platform. Rest assured that our team will know this, as your convenience and satisfaction are among our top priorities. In the meantime, your patience and understanding are highly appreciated.

    If I have to buy a Streambar Pro to get 5.1, I wouldn't have purchased a Roku TV Pro in the first place. I woulda just gotten something else that has 4k @ 120hz. Waste of money...

    I agree, for the pro TV, it should support a min 5.2. A single 10" sub is not enough bass.
