Re: TCL 8 Series, Roku TV, CEC, EARC "Inactive" Issue...

John,

I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM ROKU ON THIS ISSUE. Sorry for yelling but it seems Roku just doesn't care anymore unless the system is 100% Roku.  What is the update????

We appreciate your patience while we investigate this issue.

All the best,

Hi, @lythrum 

Greetings, and welcome to the Roku Community.

You've mentioned that you're having an issue with the audio output for the ARC port that shows inactive, and we'd like to take a closer look at this. Could you please provide us with the following information below:

  • When did this issue first start occurring?
  • Was there a software update?
  • Roku device 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, quickly press Home 5 times and Back 5 times.)
  • Steps to reproduce the issue you are seeing

Once we have this information, we'll be able to investigate the issue and work on it.

Your response would be much appreciated.

Best wishes,
Kash

Hello Kash, there are numerous others in this post (including myself) that have had issues that are still unresolved. We are all very frustrated that nothing has been done to help any of us.

- april 2024 was when it was found

- no software update

- device model: E4AA55R, hardware ID: 7815X, serial number: YN00KA916311, device ID: 0J818K916311, software version: 13.1.4 • build 1510-AM

- issue ID: 11-290-952

- the issue is permanent, there is nothing that is done to make this issue occur. the ARC HDMI 1 is always displayed as “inactive”

Is this supposed to be an official announcement for Roku? If so, it’s one of the worst I’ve ever seen
