    The Bose soundbar is connected to hdmi-arc, not the Roku. In addition to hdmi-arc, make sure the tv recognizes the soundbar as a cec device. See the Roku remote only controls the tv volume, it's the tv via cec that controls the soundbar.

Keep in mind it will only control the volume. Other functions such as surround sound, EQ settings and more you will need to use the Bose remote.
