Re: Roku Wireless Speakers in Surround setup with Roku soundbar not loud enough

Same question as above, has anyone been able to update and test out Roku 9.4? The update still isn't available for me, I have the Roku Smart Soundbar (not streambar) Roku Wireless Subwoofer and the 2 satellite Roku Wireless Rear speakers.

Not me. I've been checking almost daily to no avail. Still on 9.3...

Re: Roku Wireless Speakers in Surround setup with Roku soundbar not loud enough

Saw these messages from Roku Support on Twitter when I searched for Roku 9.4. Sounds like they're saying STILL saying "coming weeks", which could mean anything. Just wish like other platforms they'd drop the release around the same time as announcing.

My soundbar just updated to 9.4 and IT CHANGES EVERYTHING!!! You get a bunch of different sound levels to choose from so I set my surround speakers to Loudest and I can confirm that it drastically improves the whole experience!

Finally the update is here and yes it definitely does change everything! You can now adjust the rear wireless speakers from low-normal-louder-loudest. Thank you Roku finally!

Re: Roku Wireless Speakers in Surround setup with Roku soundbar not loud enough

I got the update and its working great but there seems to be a delay whenever I start a movie, switch channel, play new song, etc. About 5-10 seconds with nothing in wireless speakers then kicks in. I tried to reset connection to speakers but didn't work.  Anyone else experiencing that or know what I can do?

I think a slight delay is normal and going to happen because the rear speakers and subwoofer are wireless so the soundbar needs to send the audio waves/signal to these devices. But, it should only be a split second delay or max 1-2 seconds!

Basically, the devices have to make a handshake with each other

So what can I do? Actually it is more like 25-30 seconds.  Are you having same delay?

Re: Roku Wireless Speakers in Surround setup with Roku soundbar not loud enough

Can you please elaborate? Is the set up worth it? I already have wireless speakers but want to go full surround with the bar and subwoofer. Pros and cons please. Thank you sir!
