Thanks for the links, but .... been there, done that. I am hoping to receive a solid "how to " solution. What settings need to be configured in TV and ROKU for compatibility to work with BOSE soundbar using HDMI-ARC to have functionality of power, volume control using ROKU remote with the 4K stick? Much like what apparently is avail if I were using a ROKU TV. I was successfully using ROKU 4K stick as a sole source device with the Samsung TV, but that changed as soon as I introduced the Bose soundbar. I did have to set TV speaker settings to external speakers. Somewhere I have read needing to change format to CEC, but doing that the devices are wanting an IR cable installed, which is not possible with soundbar.
If I try to add device (Bose Remote) to the ROKU remote settings for 4K stick - it only appears to be looking for another ROKU remote and not one from different manufacturers.
I'm having the exact issue with my Bose soundbar. I don't see any comment from a competent Roku technical associate. I guess they don't have a solution?

Hdmi-arc is used to connect audio from tv devices to the Soundbar. That's not what gives you remote control of the volume. What does is HDMI-CEC, so the devices have to recognize each other as a cec device. If you don't have a way to refresh cec devices connected to the tv in the tv settings, then unplug the tv power cord for a bit. Then plug it back in and wait a bit for refresh the cec devices on its own. It won't be instantaneous.
