Sound issues: Volume randoming rising and falling, popping.

I've bought an Ultra a few years ago and only recently started to view the Live TV and Roku Channel.  But it is very fustrating as the sound keeps randoming increasing and decreasting.  I do not have auto-leveling on any longer as that made things worse.  Also, the popping and screetches that occurred made it unwatchable.

I have reduced things a bit more, other than turning off the Auto-leveling on sound by changing my TV to be recognize stereo and not PCM. I've changed the box to be always Stereo and streaming format to DTS as y TV supports that.

I want to rbuy another one for another room as I love the Live TV and Roku Channel but I can't pull the switch if I'm going to be annoyed every time I use it.  I see MANY others reporting the same glitches, whether a box or a Roku TV, and the issue has been around for years.

Is there a solution or is Roku a finish product?

My Roku does this too.  It’s so annoying.  I thought maybe I had a faulty Roku system but apparently it’s something else.
