Re: Streambar speaker crackling

I have two full surround sounds and they both do it. I have noticed that it does it on Bluetooth and watching TV on my Chromecast with Google TV but not when you cast to YouTube or I heart radio. It seems like one of the recent updates caused it.

Re: Streambar speaker crackling

Oh, interesting. This has been happening to me for years and I have been through three different streambars, most recently with a replacement I installed in the last two weeks.

The issue occurs on the homescreen and continues regardless of which Roku app I go to (Sling, Netflix, Prime Video, etc.).

It resolves momentarily if I reset the device via the Roku System menu but occurs immediately the next time I relaunch the device.

Send to be an update causing it to me. When I cast to the soundbar from YouTube or iheart radio it doesn't do it. When I use Bluetooth or Chromecast with Google TV it does it. I have two and they both do it.

Re: Streambar speaker crackling

Both sets of surround sound speakers updated today to 12.5.5.4173. Both soundbars are still at 12.5.0.4178. Both full surround sounds are fed by Roku TVs. The. TVs also updated to 12.5.5.4173. I tried both briefly and they seem to be doing better now.

Is there any update on this? It has been over a month; I am still out of a soundbar.

Re: Streambar speaker crackling

Hello @RokuEuniceL,

Following is the information you requested.  I am happy to provide anything else that may help.

Model - 9102R - Roku Streambar

Serial Number - YL00FS954973

Device ID - 2A118F954973 

Software version - 12.5.0 - build 4178-95

This issue occurs from the moment I launch the Roku (on the homepage) and continues with any apps I navigate to.

Tracker ID - 73-509-537

If I reset the Roku via the Settings page, it will sometimes correct the issue but the problem starts again the next time I use the Roku.
