Roku Streambar Sound Quality Issues

My streambar has been having crackly, quiet audio. i’ve tried system restarting, doing a hard power reset of both the streambar and TV, checked for software updates, reconnected to the TV. I don’t know what to do.

Re: Roku Streambar Sound Quality Issues

I have the exact same issues, intermittently.  Sound starts fine, then drops very low or rises to very high. Sometimes gets all crackly. I have to reset the streambar daily, sometimes more than once a day. Tried the suggestions on this page, no help.
