Roku Ultra Bluetooth volume control not working after update

Hi,

After my Roku Ultra got updated to Roku OS 14, Bluetooth volume control is no longer working.

I could previously control the volume of my Bluetooth headphones with the volume controls on the remote, but after the update, I just get a full circle showing, where I previously saw the volume turning up or down.

I can workaround it by using the volume controls on the headphones, but that is much less convenient than using the remote.

Is this a known bug?

Cheers,
Rasmus.

Re: Roku Ultra Bluetooth volume control not working after update

I have tried turning Roku on and off, turning headphones on and off, unpairing and re-pairing headphones, and connecting a second pair of headphones. Same result every time: remote volume buttons does not change volume and instead the Roku UI just shows a filled circle in the corner where the volume display previously was.

Re: Roku Ultra Bluetooth volume control not working after update

Hi @RFaber,

Thanks for reporting that your Bluetooth headphones aren't working properly after a recent Roku update.

To help us investigate this issue more effectively, please provide the following information:

  1. Headphone Brand and Model: What is the make and model of your Bluetooth headphones?
  2. Connection Method: Are your headphones connected to your Roku Ultra directly, or are they connected to a mobile device that's then connected to the Roku?

Once we have this information, we'll pass it along to our Roku team for further investigation.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation!

Best regards,
The Roku Community Team

Re: Roku Ultra Bluetooth volume control not working after update

Hi,

I first saw the issues with a Navly Bluetooth sleep band: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B094FMQ8X9

Those might be slightly special, but when they did not work, I also tried with a bog-standard pair of JBL Tune 510BT with the same result.

I am connecting directly to the Roku using the Bluetooth connectivity in the Roku Ultra.

Cheers,

Rasmus.
