Playback Issues - Audio/Video & Power

[catandsteve]

I find that i have to unplug my Roku Premier quite often due to the audio sounding like they are underwater and now the sound just stops working.  Is this a common issue with Roku? Cutting the cord is more work and could cost me more because I will need to buy another product.

Thanks for the post.

Is this issue happening on a specific channel playing a certain title or is this occurring on all channels?

Have you tried using another HDMI port on the TV as well as switching out the HDMI cable used to connect the device? Does that resolve the issue you are experiencing?

If you are still unable to resolve the issue, please send me a PM with your Roku account email address, and include the serial number of the Roku device from Settings>System>About. I'll be able to assist you further from there.

Thanks,
Danny

I too am experiencing  the same issue. It just started after a year.

I personally dont think spending more money on cables is an answer. My sound worked fine before ROKU.  We were watching tv last night and suddenly the sound got louder and started vibrating then the sound lowered back to normal but still had the vibration (sounds like underwater). I had to unplug the Roku and plug back in. Very annoying how often I have to replug the Roku.

Yes.  Nothing like this happened during my first couple of months.  Now, I have to unplug Roku in order to bring sound back to my TV.  What's up with this??

Danny,

I have Roku express.  Used it for about 4 months and now I must unplug the device whenever I receive no sound from my tv.  Nothing advanced about my use, I don't stream games, etc.   I do pause programs at times, but mainly watch Netflix and Amazon Prime.  My Roku also gets way too hot but I'll deal with that another time.  I just need help with the sound system.  

I tagged myself in on another request and your reply to them.  I hope you can help me with this problem.  

Thank you,

     Roku serial #  is C338A5951388

Any help with this matter would be appreciated.

I've had this issue as well and I have never been able to resolve it with the hdmi cord. I've only been able to fix by unplugging the power cord to the roku and then plugging it back in. It will usually work for most of the day, but then the next day the same thing.
