You re-setup your remote? Settings/Remotes & devices/Remotes/<remote name> (In use)/Set up remote for TV control
I resetup everything, but finally just gave up. Volume for my LG+Soundbar never worked. Sorry to report the bad news.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I read somewhere in my Roku set up information that you cannot sync the tv power/volume control to your Roku remote if the tv is using a soundbar. It's as if there is one pathway/channel and the soundbar took it so your roku remote can't have it. There must be a technical reason. I have to use my soundbar remote to control volume, etc, on Samsung tv though I can power up/down with my Roku remote there. LG has to be powered up with LG remote but no soundbar so Roku remote sync'd up easily. There must be idiosyncracies with various tv brands.
This solution worked for me to power on & off control LG 4K TV and Vizio soundbar (optical cable from TV *out -to- Vizio soundbar optical *in. IR setting worked after running the 'do you still hear music?' steps.
Interesting. Thanks. I will have to poke around on my Samsung. Since I read the Roku remote won't work with a soundbar I didn't try real hard on the LR set.
