      Some of the newer Roku devices now have the capability of sending audio to Bluetooth devices directly. See this Roku article for details and list of Roku devices supporting this: https://support.roku.com/article/12210854415383

      Aside from the specific Roku models mentioned in that article, you can not directly send audio from the Roku to other devices via Bluetooth. For this you must use the Roku Remote app on a phone or tablet, and connect the Bluetooth audio device to the phone/tablet.
