Ok. On my TCL TV, Roku OS 10 broke CEC volume control. It finally fixed it in Roku OS 12 after 2 years. And now, 12.5 (build 4175) just broke it again! And now it seems like it’s not just volume - no control via CEC whatsoever (eg receiver doesn’t power and volume control doesn’t work). Guys, this is ludicrous. Find out what you are doing in the code base and test it out. I’m soon going to be done with Roku OS. I’ve waited years for you guys to fix bugs and now you just reintroduced it.

I have a Roku Ultra (2022 model) 4802, and for the most part, it's been working as it should, had a few strange remote issues yesterday and it's the voice remote pro (non replaceable batteries)
The navigation was erratic, and volume was spotty, so pressed paring button to re-pair and that seems to have fixed the navigation, and I disabled the idle sleep function, so the Roku now simply goes into screen saver mode vs turning off after 20 minutes and this also seems to help keep it stable.
When it works, Roku devices typically work well, without much issue. I've never owned a Roku TV. I typically advise people to keep the TV and smart devices separate, but it's getting much harder to do that today. Normally I would suggest to someone to buy a dumb TV, and any smart devices you want, buy separately so if you DO encounter problems, "such as you have" it won't affect everything. In this case it sounds like this problem not only affects the Roku aspect of the TV, but anything else you want to do with it as well.
