Soundbar- Pops/Goes silent

This is the 2nd soundbar doing the same thing. The first one I was able to exchange but now this one is out of warranty by 3 months and is doing the same thing. Are these defective??

Re: Soundbar- Pops/Goes silent

It does it anytime. Cant recreate it on the spot. It sounds like half of the sound isn't even working.

Thanks for the update, @HBIC.

In the meantime, have you plugged it into a different TV or HDMI port to see if the same issue persists?

Re: Soundbar- Pops/Goes silent

Hi Carly, yes I have changed out the HDMI cord with each Roku sound barI’ve had. When it loses sound, I switch to my other Sony sound bar. It’s like the Roku works and shows the picture etc but the sound goes in and out whenever it feels like.

Thank you for keeping us in the loop, @HBIC.
Our team is currently aware of the issue and is undergoing an in-depth investigation regarding it. That being said, would you be so kind as to provide us with the following information?

  • Roku device or TV model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About).
  • Tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button five times, followed by the Back button five times, and provide us with this ID).
  • Troubleshooting steps you have taken in an attempt to resolve the issue.
  • A clip of the said issue, if possible

Once a few more pieces of information have been gathered, we will be able to pass them along to the appropriate support team to investigate further. We look forward to hearing back from you.

Here are two photos of what you were asking for. The Tracker ID was done shortly after it popped (as soon as I could get the remote and do the steps). It’s been popping randomly, maybe about 3-4 times in the last 2 hours. I can’t get a clip of it because it distorts whenever it wants. I have reset the devices multiple times, did a factory reset, swapped out cords.

Re: VIDEO OF VOLUME CUTOUT Soundbar- Pops/Goes silent

it just popped and volume dropped. Only way to get volume back up is to rewind it. I have a Video to show but it won’t let me post it here
