Streambar Audio Problems - need assistance

I am experiencing much of the same issues posted concerning the stream bar. After swapping locations with my two stream bars I'm convinced it's not a tv issue. Sporatically both RSBs exhibit distortion and audio volume level issues.

2) SN: YL00H1281921, MODEL: 9102R, Software Version : 11.5.0 Build: 4235-95

      I am experiencing the similar audio problems with my ROKU streambar. "Crackling" is the best description. Been experiencing it for months now and can't resolve permanently with removal of youtube app or restarts. Model is 9102R and serial is YL00CW141314. Software version 11.5.0.

      Would you be able to help me?

  • Hi, I've been having the same audio problems discussed in this post since just a few months after purchasing.  They've recently gotten much worse to the point that the device isn't usable.  Can you help me?

  • Hi RokuDanny-R 

    I too am having this problem where after a while the audio starts to degrade, the Streambar becomes unresponsive and after several minutes, it reboots - then everything is fine again for another week or so.

     

    Serial Number YL00E6736823

     

    Thanks

  • My streambar has been cutting in and out for over a year and a half. I’ve changed all the cables, done all of the troubleshooting I can think of. How do I fix this?

      Hi CGCmenagerie,

      Welcome to the Roku Community!

      We understand that you are having an audio issue with Roku Streambar.

      For us to isolate your audio issue, it would be very helpful if you could answer the following questions:

      • Does the issue only occur on a specific channel or across other channels installed on your device?
      • In Settings > Audio > Audio mode, what setting do you have selected? Does the same issue occur if you change the setting to Stereo, etc.?
      • During playback of any content, press the * key on your remote. A menu will open on the lefthand side of the screen. Do you have any 'Volume mode' enabled here? If so, try turning this off. Does this resolve the issue?

      Moreover, if the issue only happens on one channel, removing the channel and then adding it back in may help.

      You can visit this Support article for detailed instructions on how to do it: How to resolve a channel playback issue | Official Roku Support

      Please keep us posted and we'll continue assisting you from there.

       

      Best regards,
      Mary

  • I am having the same problem. My sound is really fuzzy and it almost sounds like the speaker is blown. I know this can't be the case I just bought it.
