headphone jack not working

About 10 days I was have a problem with the headphone connection to my roku remote  --- its the one that came with  the  best buy  edition of the stream stick 

I had to move the jack/plug around to  so I could hear sound in both ears  

now there is no sound at all --- from the headphones when plugged into the remote, but the headphone  connected  still turns off the audio on the tv 

Is there a way to fix or replace this remote?  

Thanks

  • Do you have something else with a headphone jack that you can use to check the headphones?  It could be the headphones and not the remote.

      Headphone jacks are notoriously fragile.  I've had them fail on tablets, cell phones and music players.

      If you're still within the US 1-year warranty period, see this page for warranty and return information:

      Edited to add: As far as replacement remotes go,  The Roku Voice Remote Pro includes a headphone jack.  You can find it on the Roku site as well as local stes like Best Buy, Wal-mart, etc., andeconline stores like Amazon and eBay.

      Meanwhile the Android and iOS Roku app gives you remote listening capabilites through a cell phone connected to the same home network as the Roku.

        Thanks for the info --- as it turns out, I got the  streaming-stick+ back in 2019, so i am out  return period ---   I did find the phone app an was able to use headphones with the phone 

        the voice remote pro --- it is covered by the 1-year warranty period?  Thanks
