No, roku remotes only control tv volume. If you can get your tv controlling the volume of the soundbar via hdmi cec, then the roku remote will control the tv, which then controls your Sound bar.

I'm disappointed to find that my Roku Ultra remote can't be synced with my Sonos Soundbar. My Soundbar is the only device I use to provide me with TV audio. Does or will Roku offer a remote that allows for Sonos Soundbar volume control (or any soundbar make)?
If not, could there be a universal remote that can be synced with my Roku device, allowing me all functionality, same as the Roku Remote allowing for both TV power on/off and volume control?
Thanks
Not sure if you've reached a solution, but I wanted to share my experience today. I was also searching for how to get the Roku remote to control the Sonos Playbar. I got it to work pretty easily.
Here's my setup:
Roku Ultra 4660X
Vizio V-series 58" 4k
Sonos Playbar with remote Sub and 2 Play-1's as rear surrounds (all in 5.1 config)
It all works as I wanted. Hope this helps!

I've been busting my chops on this question off and on for a couple of days. The only problem is when I go through the above procedure and press the volume up button, the Playbar doesn't seem to see it.
Can anyone see something obvious I'm doing wrong? Kinda driving me nuts.
Thanks, Bruce

Which Roku remote do you have? I know I had to make the Sonos recognize infrared and I have the Roku Ultra remote that sends IR.
The Sonos Playbar ONLY recognizes infrared, at least the one that is a few years old, if that is the Sonos model you are describing.
Do you need the Roku ultra for this to work? I just have a “standard” roku streaming stick.

You may need the Roku Ultra remote. I think I read somewhere that it has the infrared (IR) functionality that the Sonos recognizes. I'm not an expert in this so please do your own research.
Both roku ultra and roku stick remotes are wifi, they both control non-roku tv's by IR, and then the Tv controls the soundbar by hdmi-cec. Even if you had a roku connected to roku tv and it's remote is controlling the roku tv volume by wifi, the roku tv will still pass on hdmi-cec signal to whatever device is connected to it.
Steve B is absolutely correct. I've used my Sonos with three different types of Roku's now. His set up instructions should produce the results you're looking for.
Was one of the three setups a Roku TV? Specifically one that has a wi-fi (point anywhere) remote?
this not only was extremely helpful...works great...but actually improved my overall mood by 46.7 percent.
Wahoooooo, thanks!!
Steve - I did this same thing and my playbar does recognize the signal. However, if the remote isn’t pointed directly at the playbar it will register on the screen that volume is going up - but it actually isn’t. We have to point the remote directly at the playbar for it to work.
Any ideas how to correct that?
I have the standard remote and tried this solution. Took a couple of time to run thru steps, but it did work.
thanks
Used this procedure and it worked. Been searching for log time and everything I read said it can't be done. Great job on this post
