I’m having a similar issue. Google TV with the Roku stream bar. On many different apps, audio gets quiet, crackling and one time a loud screeching that stops when I turn the TV off and back on.

Hey Mary!
Still having the same issue. All of the sudden the audio gets lower, there’s a static noise in the background and occasionally a loud screeching. You can turn the volume up and down, change the app but nothing besides turning the TV off and back on seems works.
Brand new HDMI cable plugged into ARC. I’ve checked the connection there on both ends. Modem extender is within 10’ of the device so I don’t think it’s signal.

My Roku is crackling on low end bass on pretty much all channels and streaming platforms. I’ve tried turning it off and on again and new hdmi cables. Not sure what else to do is there a factory reset? Can you recommend what else I can try? Thanks!

My Roku Streambar has also fallen victim to the distorted sound coming from the speakers to the point where it sounds like the actual speakers are blown out (particularly during dialogue in all apps). Music or other effects sound better but still have the distortion/crackle.
Dialogue also randomly will go from clear to muffled to sounding like it is coming from underwater to distorted & crackly.
