Roku remote unable to hear me

Hello I posted to this message board some months ago. I was subsequently emailed by your customer services department who asked me to send the faulty Roku 4 k streaming stick back to the Roku office for warranty replacement. 

I sent the faulty unit back in November and still haven’t got a new unit sent to me. It has been a long time. No body has contacted me to confirm what is happening. I have emailed numerous times and tried to call them but had no luck. I have paid for a product and sent it back so Roku now have my property and I have no smart Tv device. Please raise this with customer services and ask them to reply to me and to send the replacement stick as soon as possible. 

I tried an official compliant but was also ignored.

        Just started happening this evening. Always worked in the past. There was an update on my system in the past 24 hours as I can see changes in the home page menu. Now the voice search no longer works. Receive the error "Unable to hear you Try again." Rebooted the Ultra. Put fresh batteries in the remote Repaired the remote to device. Followed every suggestion in the past five pages of responses.

        Device type: Roku Ultra

        Serial number: YJ00DR742370

      Interesting, I'm not the only one with this prob.  I've also tried everything suggested, and still the remote says the same thing, unable to hear me.

        Hi, Community users!

        Greetings from the Roku Community.

        Thank you for reporting the issues you're experiencing with the voice commands of your Roku remotes. I'd be happy to investigate and help you find the best resolution.

        Before proceeding, kindly provide me with the following details so I can assess your concern better and provide you with an accurate resolution:

        • Serial number of the Roku device this remote is connected to:
        • Is this the remote that comes with this Roku device, or was this purchased separately?
        • Have you recently received any software updates on your Roku device? You can check under Settings > System > Power (skip if unavailable) > About.
        • Specific troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.

        In the meantime, I highly suggest resetting your remote by pressing and holding the Back and Home buttons simultaneously for about 20 seconds. After doing so, pair it again to see if this will make any difference. 

        Your update is highly anticipated. 

        Best regards,
        Carly
