    Hi Denalw17,

    Thanks for contacting us about the issue you ran into in the Roku Community!

    Do you have Roku wireless speakers connected to your Roku TV? If none, please be advised that a Roku TV does not support volume modes when Roku wireless speakers are not connected.

    Please keep us posted regarding the behavior you are experiencing, and we will be more than happy to continue assisting you further. We look forward to hearing back from you.

    All the best,

    Chel

    This needs to be marked as the answer.

Hi! Tapatz,

Thank you for visiting the Roku Community! 

The fact that you brought up audio leveling is appreciated. Happy to help.

When streaming a movie or TV show or watching content from another device on your Roku TV (e.g., cable set-top box, Blu-rayTM player), you can enable Automatic Volume Leveling or Night Mode from the options menu described below.

Follow these steps to change the volume mode during playback.

  1. Start playback.
  2. Press the Star button on your Roku remote.
  3. Select Advanced Sound Settings.
  4. Use the directional pad to switch volume mode to the desired setting. The directional pad is plus-shaped and is in the center of your Roku remote.
    • Off: Volume modes are inactive, and content volume is unmodified.
    • Leveling: This enables consistent volume across different types of entertainment, so you do not have to change the book every time you switch channels or a commercial comes on.
    • Night: The volume of soft sounds like whispering is increased while the volume of loud sounds like explosions is decreased, making it easier to hear your TV at night without disturbing others.

In some streaming channels, the Star button is assigned a different function, meaning it will not open the options menu as described above. You must launch another channel, such as the Roku Channel, and follow the steps above. Once the volume mode is switched, the setting will remain when you return to the original channel.

More information can be found in this support article: Enable volume modes during playback.

Best regards,

Arjiemar
