Playback Issues - Audio/Video & Power

[MrAmorris82]

Why does it suck?Love the Roku but I hate that private listening has never worked. All proposed solutions in fixing the issue never works. Rokus reply of “ maybe your internet connection is weak “ is unacceptable. I had considered buy at least 3 more roku products, for my home and as gifts but this is a major issue I can’t overlook.

It is dependent on your wifi quality.  No one else can fix that.

What’s the recommended internet speed. I can assure you that I’ve never faced issues with anything because of my internet speed and it would be weird if you told me that 5Mbps connection is not enough for the private listening to work.

Private listening uses your local wifi connection and router, not the internet connection to the router, so it is related to your in-home hardware but not the speed of your connection to the internet.

If you are streaming content from the internet over wifi to the roku device or TV and also using private listening your wifi must have the capacity to handle both.
