YouTube TV startup sound plays again 20-30 minutes after starting app and watching a show

Jump to solution

I'm curious as well. It is ONLY with ROKU products. Its their sound for the Youtube app for startup. Its about 3 times louder than the TV. I have looked in the settings of the app on Roku, and I cannot find anything to disable it.

Apparently, NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF THIS. This happens on BOTH of my Roku soundbars. IT IS NOT A YOUTUBE ISSUE, IT IS A ROKU ISSUE. I have already asked youtube. This does not happen on anything but Roku.

Why does no one know???? It happens when you sign into YouTube app for first time of the day. EVERY TIME. 

I've been using Roku for close to 15 years, and customer service has gone downhill. I can't even call and speak to anyone anymore. Maybe it's time to move to a different brand.
