I have a TCL ROKU gen 6 TV with Sonos sound bar Ray but ROKU remote is not compatible.
I bought a Phillips converter that works but the remote is so big & bulky.
surely ROKU makes a remote that is compatible. That’s crazy is ROKU remote controls everything about the TV except the volume, does anyone know how to resolve?

Because the TCL/Roku remote uses wi-fi only, and the original Sonos soundbar is generally controlled with an infrared signal, the solution I found that works is a 3rd party device called the "Sideclick". It is made to clip on to the Roku remote and it works great. It makes the remote about an inch wider, but it's worth it. Alternately, but less conveniently, the Sonos app (at least with an iPhone) can also control the soundbar volume, EQ, compression etc. (which is weird because the app uses your home network's wi-fi, and it still controls the volume-it must use a different type of signal or band than the Roku/TCL remote).
