No sound effects while navigating home screen

The fun sound effects while navigating my home screen are gone. They came back for a few weeks and stopped again. I've tried going into settings and doing everything possible to menu audio, and I've changed theme packs, screensavers, wallpapers. I have a roku stick. Wish I knew how to fix this. Those sounds make using roku really fun now it's just silent😒

Re: No sound effects while navigating home screen

Hello Rey,

I am having a somewhat similar problem with my Streamstick 4k+ 3810X which was purchased approximately and installed on my television 3 years (maybe 4) ago. I am wondering if the device has exhausted it's life expectancy. I have restarted the device almost every few days recently. And I have reset by disconnecting power and then bringing it back up. My issue is that as I navigate across channels on the main screen, I am hearing a delayed navigation sound, sometimes multiple navigation beeps and the visual movement is sometimes jittery or delayed. Unfortunately I know your response will come too late for me to take advantage of tthe sale Roku is having but depending on your answer I will possible be alert for the next sale.

Re: No sound effects while navigating home screen

Hi @dg3591,

Greetings from the Roku Community!

We appreciate you sharing your report about this and for your attempts at resolving it.
This seems a bit different, and we'd like to take a closer look into it.

Tell us more...

  • When did you start seeing the issue occur?
  • Is this a sporadic case, or does it happen every time you access and navigate with the device?
  • In addition, have you tried setting this up on a different TV to see if that exerts the same behavior?

Share with us additional information so that we can further assist you.

Thanks,
Rey

Re: No sound effects while navigating home screen

Hello Rey, it's hard for me to pinpoint when this issue started. But I want to say it had to be at least about a month ago. And as I said for me the issue was both a delayed navigation sound or an decreasing volume echo of the sound And jittery movement across channels while navigating.

However since writing to you, as strange technically as it might be I seem to have resolved it by reverting back to the default theme. Previously I had a custom theme where I had selected the Earth Space wallpaper, Space sounds and Clock screensaver. After going back to the Roku default theme with the clock screensaver both navigation issues have stopped. Prior I had not tried the device on another TV but had restarted it and reset it by the reset button and powering down and up; all of that having none or only a temporary effect.

Technically it may not sound quite appropriate but I do think it may very well have to do with some of the theme packs, wall papers, sounds and screensavers not adjusting to updates on the device. Not really willing to cause the issue again, other than selecting the clock screensaver I have stayed with the default theme and so far so good.

Re: No sound effects while navigating home screen

@dg3591,

Thanks for your prompt response and for the extra details!

I presumed too! If you try switching the theme packs again with the one you noticed having the problem, could you perhaps share a Tracker ID with us?

Here's how you can get it: Tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button five times, followed by the Back button five times, and provide us with this ID).

Keep us posted!

Thanks,
Rey

Re: No sound effects while navigating home screen

Hi Rey, I have switched everything back to how I had it set up before the issues started. I know it's probably too soon to tell as right now it seems okay. I will give it a few days, a week or so and see if the issues start again. And if they do, I will try to get you a tracker. Unless the issues do pop up sooner I will be snoozing the email so I remember to check after some time.

Thank you for your communication and support.
