I'm disappointed to find that my Roku Ultra remote can't be synced with my Sonos Soundbar. My Soundbar is the only device I use to provide me with TV audio. Does or will Roku offer a remote that allows for Sonos Soundbar volume control (or any soundbar make)?
If not, could there be a universal remote that can be synced with my Roku device, allowing me all functionality, same as the Roku Remote allowing for both TV power on/off and volume control?
Thanks
Not sure if you've reached a solution, but I wanted to share my experience today. I was also searching for how to get the Roku remote to control the Sonos Playbar. I got it to work pretty easily.
Here's my setup:
Roku Ultra 4660X
Vizio V-series 58" 4k
Sonos Playbar with remote Sub and 2 Play-1's as rear surrounds (all in 5.1 config)
- I disabled all speakers on my Vizio TV via TV settings.
- Made sure Roku connected to HDMI-1 (ARC) port
- Opened SONOS app on mobile phone
- Selected the room with the speakers I wanted to control
- Went into Settings, then "Remote Control Setup"
- Told it "Replace current remote", then "Continue"
- Pressed "Volume Up" button on Roku Ultra remote
- SONOS noticed the signal and said it was complete.
- Selected "Done"
It all works as I wanted. Hope this helps!

I've been busting my chops on this question off and on for a couple of days. The only problem is when I go through the above procedure and press the volume up button, the Playbar doesn't seem to see it.
Can anyone see something obvious I'm doing wrong? Kinda driving me nuts.
Thanks, Bruce

Which Roku remote do you have? I know I had to make the Sonos recognize infrared and I have the Roku Ultra remote that sends IR.

The Sonos Playbar ONLY recognizes infrared, at least the one that is a few years old, if that is the Sonos model you are describing.
