Solved

an annoying robotic voice just became part of my roku experience

ok so far my experience here isn't impressing me because my annoying  situation isn't going away so by using the rouku an annoying robotic voice has planted itself into our roku and getting rid of this annoying AI BS would be greatly appreciated so is there anyone out there who can give me some step by step pointers on how to resolve this nonsense because I didn't ask for this or initiate it

      Yes thank you. This has been bothering me for weeks. Turns out the sound setting was on Dialog and not Music. I could not find these settings in the Settings menu. Your post helped much!

      Pressing the * four times didn’t work for me. I had to go into settings on the main screen, then accessibility screen and find the correct screen to toggle between on and off. Finally turned the annoying robotic voice.

      Hi BobKY,

      Welcome, and thanks for posting here in the Roku Community!

      Would you mind giving us more details on the issue that you've been experiencing? When did the issue occur? Do you have any external devices connected to the back of your TV? What Roku device are you using right now? (e.g., Roku Express, Roku Streambar, Roku TV—specify TV)

      With more detailed information, we'll be able to assist you further.

      All the best,

      Chel

        pressing the * 4 times has eliminated most of the voice over except for the volume .

        Every time I raise or lower the volume it interrupts the dialogue on the tv to tell me what the volume is.

        i can read it on the side of the screen, but I don't need the audio to tell me what it is.

        How do I eliminate that robotic voice that announces the volume level?

      TV is an ONN Roku tv, hooked up via hdmi cable to Onn soundbar.  Hooked up per soundbar instructions with HDMI cable.  I use the Roku TV remote only, not the soundbar remote.  Any suggestions appreciated.
