Headphones only working on one side

I just bought a Roku Ultra and have the same problem. Did you manage to solve it?

    Hi, PerKj

    Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the Roku Community.

    We'd be happy to gather more details for us to figure this out and proceed with the necessary actions to address this. Could you please tell us more about the issue you're having? Are you using the private listening feature using your Roku remote or through the Roku mobile app? Also, have you tried using a different set of headphones to see if you're able to hear both sides of the audio output? Furthermore, if you're using the Roku remote, have you made sure that it was fully charged?

    The more information you provide, the better we can understand the issue.

    All the best,
    Kash

      Hi and thanks for reaching out.

      I am plugging a 3.5mm headphone plug into the Roku Ultra voice remote (RC795). I am not using the mobile app which I believe I cannot download in my location which is Greece.

      I have been using headphones on two different Roku3 remotes for 6-7 years without any problems.

      I have tried several headphones, and after trying on the voice remote I tried them all on my mobile phone (which has a 3.5mm plug) where they all worked properly.

      I did charge the remote fully.

      The firmware on my remote is rtn.4244

      So that you don't end up doing double work on this issue I did also post a separate thread with the title

      "Headphones plugged into voice remote (RC795) only working in mono (one side)"

    I ended up getting replacement headphones but it sounds like this is a known issue by the amount of complaints I am seeing here.
