Would Like to Use Only One Roku Remote with Ultra and Streambar Pro

I have a Samsung model QN75Q90TAFXZA and a while back I added the Roku Streambar Pro, connected via HDMI ARC.   I really like this sounder and also added the woofer and rear speakers.  What I don't like is the performance of the built in Roku media player.  I would like to add the Roku Ultra for its performance and retain the Streambar Pro for the audio.  I would like to control both devices using only one Roku remote.  If this is possible, how do I connect both devices to the TV, what setting do I make and what is the whole process?

    Don't  do a thing to the Streambar  pro except put its remote away, just connect the ultra to the tv, set the volume to control the tv, which in turn will control the streambar pro volume via cec.

      Thanks for the quick response. I ordered the Ultra and will try your solution next week.

      I received the Ultra and hooked it up. Works great with the Streambar Pro. I noticed that I must keep the internet connected to the Streambar to prevent the orange light from continuously flashing. Also, there is a different on screen notification when changing volume. There is no longer numbers for volume level. It just shows a + and a - on the screen when you change volume. Not a problem really. I am satisfied with your solution and thanks again.
