Roku setup

I'm cutting the cable cord. Sound from my Roku is playing through my TV speaker now. I want to play it through my stereo. which is 25 years old and pre-dates HDMI, Bluetooth, and everything else! Any suggestions? Thanks!

If your TV supports AV cables you could try that. But the sound quality won’t be as good as HDMI. Pick yourself up a soundbar with a subwoofer. You won’t be disappointed

Or a Roku streambar/streambar pro (which has Roku streaming embedded).  Won't connect to stereo but pretty good sound quality.

Roku also sell wireless speakers/subwoofer, but these are pricey and not available outside NA, so I haven't tried them myself

@MilesT  The Roku wireless speakers and subwoofer only work with Roku TVs or the Roku soundbar. I own the wireless speakers and subwoofer for my 65” TCL Roku TV and love them

A more modern Audio/Video Receiver (AVR) could integrate the Roku, Blu-Ray, TV and the rest of your stereo.  My AVR is about 14 years old but it has ~7 HDMI ports, plus many older-style AV ports and some audio-only ports.  When I switched from an even older receiver (1985ish), I removed a massive amount of cabling because HDMI is so simple.

Of course, you could also get an HDMI audio extractor for the old receiver.  A little more kludgy with an extra gizmo, but it should work.
