Roku freezes when plugging headset in after update tonight

My Roku applied an update tonight and now whenever I plug the audio jack into the remote it freezes, then when I unplug it the roku reboots.  It has worked fine up to this point.

Tried different headset.  Tried doing a normal reboot. turned it off and unplugged the roku for 30 seconds while also taking the batteries out of the remote.

It is a Roku Utra now running version 11.0.0 build 4193

It didnt matter where we were in a menu or channel whenever the headphone was plugged in everything froze, unplugged the headphones and it rebooted.  But for some reason all of a sudden it just started working again with no problem, nothing changed, just a day of my son watching youtube on it and a little netflix.  So it is working now.

Me too. Headphones were skipping out a second every few moments, so I rebooted, and then it freezes and rebooted the next 2 times I plugged in the headphones. Then it rebooted when launching an app, after that it went back to working but still skipping out on headphone audio.

Hi @MaxSmart

Sure!

The sound over the headphones (plugged into Roku Ultra remote) has minor skips (no sound for a small fraction of a second). Tried a menu-reboot (as we do when the speaker sound had issues, which doesn't seem to happen nowadays). After it started, every time I plugged in the headphones, it froze up and rebooted itself after a minute or so.
