I have the Roku StreamBar and Wireless Speakers. Speakers are brand new, StreamBar is a few months old.
When watching TV (via verizon FIOS and a Samsung TV) I hear most of the sound from the sound bar and background sound (music, some speaking parts of commercials, ambient, etc.) thru the wireless speakers very softly.
When watching apps thru the Roku - the StreamBar doesn’t have any sound and all the talking, music and ambient sound come from the two Wireless Speakers.
This set up in a room where I have furnace noise and was hoping for s system to help me hear over it. I don’t mind riding the volume button, but I can’t get consistent quality sound from the FIOS feed or the Roku (apps) feed.
Would love to troubleshoot with someone.
are you getting horrible static too? my soundbar sounded blown within a week. awful. so dissapointing.
the soundbar is of subpar quality. wondering if the woofer and surround system are better. I like the idea of the Roku soundbar, as when I purchased a Bose system i had to reconnect to bluetooth everytime we turned on the TV.
danny please help us out- is there a new generation of soundbar that doesn't sound blown?
ZERO static. Sound is good but not distributed property thru the bar/speakers
My wireless speakers are paired with my Roku StreamBar not my Samsung TV. The TV sound is not being used at all.
Appreciate any help at all to make this the sound system work better.
While I’m not who you were replying to I was the owner of the original thread. I’ll try to answer your question.
What kind of content are you watching? Are you playing stereo audio-only content or surround sound content?
ANSWER —UM well I guess I don’t know exactly. FIOS regular TV, movies vi streaming apps, sports
Can you please provide us with the following information:

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the posts.
The issue you are experiencing is due to the audio coming through. When using the soundbar and the wireless speakers as front right and front left, it becomes a 3.0 system. The soundbar becomes the center channel used for dialogue and the wireless speakers are left and right audio. This would be for surround sound audio sources. If the channel/content is stereo only it will only come out of the front left and front right speakers as there is only left and right audio as this would be expected. This can be tested by playing a movie with 5.1 sound and then an old TV show that only has stereo.
Hope this helps. Please keep us posted if you have any follow up questions.
Thanks,
Danny
Danny,
What about when you only have the streambar and rear speakers, no front. The rear play but are very low.
Anyway to get the rear to match the soundbar?
Let me add that I have a tcl roku tv. It seems the streambar and spreaker are louder when streaming through the bar as opposed to the tv.
