    Sorry but the roku controls the tv volume by IR, and each samsung responds to the same IR commands, nothing roku can do about that. There used to be able to switch from using IR to cec via secret menu, I don't think it works any longer. If you were able to switch to cec then it would be wifi from the remote to the roku, and then cec over the hdmi connector to the tv. No IR and so no conflicts. The roku would only control the tv its attached to.
