Streambar Pro 5.2 - Adding a second subwoofer

Jump to solution

Currently, I have a Roku Streambar Pro  with all 4 Roku TV Wireless Speakers  and a single Roku Wireless Subwoofer (5.1 audio). I just purchased a second Roku Wireless Subwoofer  to make a 5.2 system, but the only option for the subwoofer is to replace the current one.  Is there any way to add a second Roku Wireless Subwoofer  ?  And if not, is this feature coming soon?  I am tech savvy and can be a beta tester, if that helps, because I really don't want to have to return my new Roku Wireless Subwoofer  .  Thanks in advance!

Hi, @netdevops49

Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Roku Community.

For your inquiry, kindly be advised that you can only pair one wireless subwoofer to a Roku host device. For more information regarding this, kindly refer to this support article at How to set up your Roku subwoofer.

Additionally, we look forward to improving the Roku Audio set-up to enhance the Roku streaming experience.

Best wishes,

Thank you for posting here in the Roku community, @Jgamez!

The latest information shows that to access additional surround sound configurations on a Roku TV system, such as 3.1 and 5.1 surround sound, you will require the Roku Streambar or Roku Streambar Pro for 5.1; however, the 5.2 may cause configuration issues.

Check the chart for setup configuration:

Note: These devices have their own operating systems and cannot be added to your Roku TV as one. Our recommendation is to utilize the Roku Streambar.

We hope we have addressed your question appropriately. If the above does not resolve your issue, please reply to this message, and we will gladly follow up.

Hey there! @NHXRUNNER 

We truly appreciate you being part of the Roku Community! 💜

Just a heads up, the 5.2 sound configuration isn’t available at the moment and might lead to configuration issues. We sincerely appreciate your input and have passed your feedback along to the appropriate team for a thorough review. Make sure to visit the Roku Blog for all future updates!

Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks for sharing your insights. @MADOGRE1975

Just a quick note: the current build of our Roku Streambar only supports 5.1 audio configurations. Due to its hardware limitations, it won't be able to accommodate updates for 5.2 configurations, as the device's processing capabilities would need to be significantly upgraded to handle that level of audio output.

As of today, the Roku Streambar Pro and Roku Subwoofer Pro aren’t available just yet, and we still don’t have a specific release date for when they'll hit our store again. But no worries—you'll be notified once these devices are back in stock! Stay updated with the latest news by visiting the Roku Blog! Thanks for your patience and anticipation!

Cheers!

Please look into a way to add a 2nd subwoofer. I believe anyone who has added 4 satellites and one subwoofer to their Roku Soundbar will want to upgrade to 2 subwoofers. This would make the experience more enjoyable. You will sell a lot more subwoofers and quite possibly a lot more full systems in general.

Why is it so hard to get a simple software update to allow a second subwoofer?  Users have been asking for years at this point.
