    I have discovered how to fix this problem!  Unplug your TV for about 2 mins.  Plug it back in and it should work fine!  All the noise has gone away!!!!!!

Yes, I am having the same issue.  My ROKU worked well for 1 1/2 yrs., then it started making this garbled  sound. At first I thought it was my TV, so I bought a new one.  It worked fine for a couple of weeks, then it started again.  I know it is the ROKU doing it because my TV sound works fine without it.

Thanks for the post.

Can you please provide more information about the issue you are experiencing? What Roku model device are you using? If you it attaches to the TV through HDMI cable, have you tried switching out the HDMI cable to see if that resolves the issue?

Please keep us posted what you find out.


Thanks,
Danny
