Hello ByronColley

Thanks for posting here in the Community.

Could you try re-pairing your remote to your Roku device to see if that will resolve the issue you're experiencing? To do this, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Remove the power cable from your Roku device, wait 5 seconds, and then re-connect the power cable.
  2. Wait until your Roku device displays the home screen.
  3. Restart your remote. If your remote uses standard batteries, restart your remote by removing and reinserting the batteries. If your remote is rechargeable, press and hold the pairing button for 20 seconds. The status light should slowly flash green, stop, then flash rapidly. When this happens, release the pairing button and your remote has restarted.
  4. Press and hold the pairing button for 5 seconds until you see the status light begin to flash. If the light does not flash, charge your remote or replace the batteries.
  5. Wait for 30 seconds while the remote establishes a connection with your Roku device.

Once the Roku device is connected to the remote, the pairing dialog should appear on your TV screen.

I have 4 roku voice remotes.  Within the last month, 2 of the 4 no long have voice control.  I have tried everything.  My phone app works fine for voice control, and the other two remotes work fine on the systems that fail.  It appears to be the remote itself, however I find it very strange that two would stop working on two different tv within a week of each other. And yes, I have tried resetting and repairing many times

    Thanks for the post.

    For clarification, the two remotes you are experiencing an issue with are Roku Voice Remote Pros that you paired to your Roku TVs?

    With more detailed information, we will be able to assist you further.


    Thanks,
    Danny
