I'm very frustrated, I bought roku speakers for the sound quality told they were Bluetooth and they can connect to my TV, get home and they don't, it's a Google smart TV that's tcl BTW, roku has some great products but forcefully making it so you can't connect them to any other brand is outright ridiculous. I want to know if theres any way I can connect them with spending another 200 dollars or if I return them and stop using roku completely. Roku may have great products but I'm not dealing with an overly greedy company no matter how good the products.

Yep. I had a TCL Roku Tv for over 2 years and got a Roku wireless soundbar last year and it paired up right away and was great sound. A week ag, had a lighting strike and had to get a new TV. Got a Sony Google smart TV and it will not hook up with the soundbar. The soundbar is bluetooth but it will not show up on my TV. Roku only. Ridicules, that it wont work with non Roku. Not happy with Roku.

Hello! @ronakiyama,

Thank you for your post in the Roku Community!

We appreciate your reaching out to us regarding the connection of a Roku wireless speaker to your Roku Streambar SE. We're happy to help.

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.

Thanks,

The Roku Streambar Pro is not wireless at all, it has to have hdmi-arc or combination regular hdmi cable plus optical cables to connect to any brand of tv. But the Roku Wireless Soundbar can ONLY by connected to Roku tv's, the only cable it has is power cable, no cables needed between to Soundbar and Roku tv.
