Hello

  I am new to Roku.  I bought a TCL tv and hooked up my home theater.  Everything runs through my Onkyo receiver and I have HDMI going to HDMI 1 (ARC).   I tried watching some amazon prime video through the app on Roku (built into TV) and the receiver is still giving me the sound from my DIrectv.    How do I get the sound to go to my receiver?

Make sure the HDMI cable is attached to the ARC port on the TV as well as the AVR. I think you are saying it is, but make sure. I can't speak to Denon, but it's possible that ARC isn't enabled in your AVR. Also, some AVRs have two HDMI out ports, and only one is ARC enabled. Again, I don't know what you have but just some things to check. I don't use ARC on my two Roku TVs, so can't say for sure where any settings might be in there for enabling ARC.

Maybe sure ARC and SAC are enabled.

Try this. I had the same problem and these steps fixed it.

Enabling ARC (Audio Return via HDMI)
Your TV MUST support ARC! If ARC is not listed in the TV Manual/Documentation, consult your TV manufacture for assistance.

I have a TCL Roku TV connected via HDMI to an Onkyo 5.1 receiver and one morning the sound, for no reason at all, was not working through my receiver. Here is what I did to fix my issue:

I simply went to the Roku TV's system settings > Power > System Restart and my TV rebooted and the sound was working again. 

I hope this helps anyone with the same issue.

Thank you for this. I tried a ton of other routes but this did it, working great now connected to my Yamaha and new TCL TV. I was focused on the issue coming from the TV or Roku, but it’s the receiver that needed attention / updated.

I just purchased an Onkyo surround system w/9 speakers. Everything works great except when I attempted to hook up the Roku TV. Using HDMI I am hooked from the ARC port to the TV Output port as directed in the Onkyo manual. No sound. 

Even after trying the HDMI in the other 5 ports ... no sound.

Thank you so much. I'd been searching for a fix for over an hour until I came across this and it did work!!
