Re: No sound in Express+ after latest firmware update

@RokuCarly 

As others have said earlier in the thread, it looks like the HDMI connection between the streaming stick and the TV is being treated like a DVI connection (at least on TCL 48FS4610 TVs). After the Roku loading screen, the TV cycles through HDMI1, HDMI2, and then a purple band flashes and it says 'DVI 1920 x 1080'.  Since DVI doesn't support audio, there's no audio from the Roku either on the home screen or in any app. 

The workaround that users in this thread have discovered is to wait to unplug the cable and then wait to plug the HDMI cable back into the Roku until after the Roku has fully booted up, which is an annoyance.  Whatever part of firmware update 12.5.0 that caused this issue on bootup for certain TCL TVs needs to be patched or reverted (@dot0 speculated it could be a race condition with testing the connection type, but regardless something appears broken with the Roku's ability to establish an HDMI connection only since the 12.5.0 release).
