Re: Roku Streambar Sound Quality Issues
I have the same choppy and dropping audio on my StreAmbar, along with static video when audio drops out. Is there a real fix for this?

Re: Roku Streambar Sound Quality Issues
Seems like the only fix is a new Streambar - but they will only replace it if you're within their 2y guarantee period, and we were 5 weeks out. 😠
Is there anyone here who really understands the EU's rules on how long consumer electronics should be expected to last? How enforceable are they? 🤔

Re: Roku Streambar Sound Quality Issues
I have the same problem. The soundbar volume goes up and down and crackles. Tried resetting the TV and soundboard. No good results. Half the time the TV won't recognize the soundboard. The optical arc connection seems useless. Maddening. Should I replace it?

Re: Roku Streambar Sound Quality Issues
So has anyone here found a longer-term solution to these sound quality issues apart from getting the device replaced?
I know reboots and so on can provide a (very) short-term fix.
