I am wondering if it is possible to have the TV (65" Roku Pro) turn off my ARC-connected soundbar when I put the TV in Backdrops mode. Currently I have backdrops running any time I am not using the TV, but I don't like that it is leaving my Klipsch Flexus sound system on 24/7 because of it.

If this is not already an option, I would love to see Roku make it one so I don't have to leave my sound bar on all the time!

PS - Roku killed it with this backdrops feature! I love how it looks and how much easier it is to use than the Frame, and the art being free puts it over the top.
