Sound stops working after pause.

I have a 43inch Roku TV. No external speakers. The sound will stop working completely whenever I pause something. This happens on apps and also happens on my micro pc I have plugged on and my satellite box. If I pause a video, movie or TV channel sometimes the sound just vanishes! I have to restart the TV. I have factory reset it and unplugged it and it will still at random after a pause stop producing sound. It's very frustrating. It's barely 6 months old! HELP!

Re: Sound stops working after pause.

Hi @ouija1979,

Greetings from the Roku Community!

We will be glad to investigate this issue you had with the Roku TV further since there was no sound.

Can you please provide the following information below?

  • When did the issue start?
  • Is the issue happening on all contents/channels or is this isolated to 1 content/channel? (Specify)
  • What is the brand of your Roku TV? (Hisense, Onn, TCL, etc,)

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks,

When did the issue start? 

Hard to put a time on it... Possibly a few weeks after I got it.

Is the issue happening on all contents/channels or is this isolated to 1 content/channel? (Specify)

Ok... Pressing the Home button 5 time and then back 5 times only took me back to the main menu and turned off the TV. No information was is displayed.
