I want to have better sound across the room from the TV.  Can I connect a wireless Bluetooth speaker to the roku without a streambar se?   Second part I bought a soundboard se can it be used wirelessly?

Hello! @Wattsupj,

Thanks for sharing in the Roku Community!

We appreciate you contacting us regarding setting up wireless speakers or a Roku Soundbar SE. We are pleased to assist.

Roku wireless speakers must be connected to a Roku TV system, Roku Streambar, Roku Streambar Pro, or Roku Smart Soundbar. Wireless speakers cannot be connected directly to a Roku Streambar SE, other TVs, sound systems, or Roku streaming players. You can only use Roku wireless speakers and a Roku TV Wireless Soundbar together if they are paired with a Roku Plus Series TV. Learn more about the different Roku surround sound configurations.

Your Roku Streambar SE will work with any television that has an available HDMI port. However, to simplify connections, we recommend using a special type of HDMI port called an ARC (Audio Return Channel) port.

 If another device is already using the ARC port, consider moving it to a different HDMI port—only one device can be connected to the ARC port.

If your TV does not have an ARC port, you will need to connect both the included HDMI cable and optical cable to your TV.

For more detailed information on how to set up your Roku Streambar SE, please check it here.

Thanks,
Arjiemar
