Re: streambar experiencing audio/bass distortion and crackling problem

Have also been experiencing the blown speaker crackle for awhile now, and with all the bass in 3 Body Problem, it's even more noticeable now.  We never play our speaker loud, it's in the bedroom, but is somehow blown and distorting.  Updates checked and applied often.

Model - 9102R - Roku Streambar

Serial Number - YL008A692493

Sofware Version - 12.5.5 build 4174-95

Device ID - 2A10C8692493

Thanks

Hi @Claytoon,

Greetings from the Roku Community, and thanks for raising this concern directly with us!

We would like to know more about the issue that you had with the Roku streambar. Could you elaborate on the troubleshooting steps that you have taken so far? Is this happening on all channels and contents, or is it isolated? (Specify)

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks,
John

Re: streambar experiencing audio/bass distortion and crackling problem

We have tried unplugging and replugging both power and HDMI cables, system/factory reset and running system updates.  It does it at all volumes and on all apps/channels.  I've tried different HDMI inputs on the TV from the roku, but that shouldn't matter.  I tried to find a way to bypass even using the speaker to at least use it as just a Roku device with TV sound, but that does not appear to be an option.  I even shook it a little to see if there is debris in it, as I saw a youtube video of someone finding broken pieces of plastic inside of it, but I did not hear anything moving around.

Re: Roku Streambar speakers with crackling sound

Has Roku come up with any fixes for this?  I got my Streambar Pro in February, and it crackles a lot, and the sound often drops out to nearly nothing, just like everyone else here.

Model:  9101R2

Software Ver:  13.0.0 / build 24020-95

Serial #: YL002L550220

Please let me know if there is anything I can do short of throwing it in the garbage.
