Hi @lambsev @etaliff,

Thanks for posting here in the Roku Community!

Thanks for your interest, and we hope to expand with more features to provide our customers with the best streaming experience!

Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or additional feedback.

Some of the newer Roku devices now have the capability of sending audio to Bluetooth devices directly. See this Roku article for details and list of Roku devices supporting this: https://support.roku.com/article/12210854415383

Aside from the specific Roku models mentioned in that article, you can not directly send audio from the Roku to other devices via Bluetooth. For this you must use the Roku Remote app on a phone or tablet, and connect the Bluetooth audio device to the phone/tablet.

Yeah....I'm just gonna go ahead and buy a Bluetooth receiver Hook it into my tv and call it a day I'm not paying 400 Dollars for a proprietary speaker system that used to be combined and now separated and prices raised for greed's sake
