Re: Hisense Roku TV only plays apps through the left speaker

Jump to solution

Hi @DNeopolitan,

Greetings from the Roku Community!

Thanks for letting us know about the behavior you've encountered on your Roku TV.

Please be aware that Roku Player (including the Roku Streambar) or Roku TVs are designed to run the latest software version. Your Roku device will check whether new software is available for download during initial setup and whenever it is powered on, randomly every 24-36 hours. Typically, the download and installation of updates occur automatically and will not interrupt your device's usage.

In addition, your Roku player or TV must have a good internet connection to perform a software update. If, for some reason, this connection is unreliable or there is an unexpected outage, your Roku device may be unable to update to the latest software.

For reference, please visit our Support article on what to do if your Roku device is unable to update software.

However, we recommend checking for a manual update. To do this, please navigate to Home > Settings > System Update > Check now.

For more detailed information, visit our Support page on how to update the software on your Roku device.

We hope this helps. Feel free to keep us posted on what you find out, and we'll continue assisting you from there.

All the best,
Chel

I have attempted manually updating the software through the “Check Now” feature many times, but it continues to tell me that my TV is “Up To Date”, even though it is not on the newest software version. My internet connection has good signal and is stable.

I have also attempted to update the TV through USB, but the software provided by the Roku website is older than my current software and it will not update.

Hello everyone, OP here. My issue was fixed yesterday, October 31st, by updating to Build 12228. I had to manually check for the update, so do that on yours as well by going to Settings > System > Software Update > Check for Update.
