Roku wireless speakers in 5.1 config
I really think someone from Roku should step in and answer this, as many people are in search of the facts on this. I have yet to purchase my extra speakers and subwoofer, and I await a definitive answer on Roku’s ability to send each separate channel of 5.1 Dolby/DTS to each individual speaker in a 5.1 configuration. Everything documented on their website seems to skate around the issue, and there are conspicuously no instructions available for setting up 5.1 surround using a Roku TV as center channel, a Roku subwoofer, a pair of Roku wireless speakers for front left/right, and another pair for rear left/right channels of Dolby/DTS 5.1 sound. It’s almost as if they purposefully avoid addressing the question.
Hi samroney
Thanks for posting in the Roku Community regarding your inquiry.
Please be aware that in order to setup a Roku Home setup of a 5.1 with 2 pairs of Roku Wireless Speakers, you will need to be using a Roku Streambar/Soundbar as your center channel.
For more information about the different Roku Home setups available, we would recommend taking a look at our Support page here: Optimal speaker placement
If you have another inquiry in the future, please don't hesitate in posting in the Roku Community again.
Happy Streaming,
Danny
