Is Anyone Still Using a Roku 3 (with YouTube) or is the Roku3 Dead at this point?

The audio on mine died completely tried different cables. I also had the YouTube issues and audio cutouts. I bought the non 4k model in Amazon and hopes it last for awhile.

Update 11/4 have no idea how the audio came back after a few hours yesterday, but then I got shipped my replacement quickly when I chose the free slow shipping option in Amazon, but I am going to return it if it fails I'll just stop using it instead of replacement.

Just fair warning. Google often breaks the YouTube app on older devices. So far it's always been the first one to give me problems. It was unusable on my Roku 2 XS when that player was only a few years old. The program their apps to use the latest hardware, and don't seem to care about supporting older devices. There's two versions of the Roku 3, and even the newest one is almost 10 years old now. Honestly, it's time for an upgrade from a 3.
