Re: Roku wireless subwoofer popping noise

Hello,

 

I have the Roku Wireless Speakers, Roku Streambar, and Roku Onn Wireless Subwoofer. I am not sure if it's just the subwoofer or if all speakers are popping. It happens intermittently throughout the entire Roku platform. It seems to be more prominent when there is more bass in the audio. I first encountered this issue in the first week of January. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thank you

Re: Roku wireless subwoofer popping noise

Hello,

While collecting the requested information, I was able to find a setting that resolved my issue. I was looking for the speaker data and went to Settings/Audio. In that menu, I found the option Audio Output. This setting was set to Auto. I changed the setting to ARC (Roku Streambar).

I tested the audio on multiple applications and a BluRay player. The speakers have not popped at all after two hours of testing. If the problem comes back I will let you know but it seems like this resolved my issue! I hope this helps others having this problem. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you

Re: Roku wireless subwoofer popping noise

I have this issue too. I'm using a streambar pro with 1 sub, 4 speakers. The popping happens primarily on the YouTube TV app but I've heard it on Netflix and Plex a few times. What do you need from me to fix the issue?

Re: ROKU surround speakers popping

It is now late January and I last posted 12/26/2023 about this popping in the speakers issue, and STILL NO ANSWER or fix??!! It’s sad because I love ROKU and I would love the experience of surround sound without this MAJOR issue!!! Even worse is I dont blast or push any of these speakers as my volume only goes to 18 out off 100, and still popping starts. All 4 surrounds and subwoofer are less than 5 months old too. Idk what its going to take to fix this issue but it is making me regret going to ROKU avenue for sound. Also, there are several posts related to the same issue and still no answer?? We want help!!!
