Microphone use for volley TV.....jeopardy, wheel of fortune, etc

Jump to solution

I'm supposed to be able to interact over my microphone to play certain games.

I'm pressing the microphone icon on the remote, I'm getting the screen change to awaiting microphone, but only getting error messages that I'm not being heard.

Help?

Tried this. It doesn’t work. The remote hears me but does not interact with the volley app…

Hi @Boatright2211,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

Does this issue only happen when trying to access that specific channel? Have you tried using voice search on a different platform to see if the issue persists?

Let us know what you find out so that we can work on further troubleshooting.

Best regards,

It doesn't work for me either...the app sucks. Just scrap it and hire better developers. Because your current developers and programmers need to go into fast food or something easier for them.

That doesn't work at all...what terrible advice you gave....I say "Sports for $200" and your retarded app sends me to a sports channel...lol...you all are really bad at your job...I'm laughing, but it is truly sad.

That would be because Volley app designers are complete garbage...Then need to send them back to school for a lot more training...don't waste your money. What a joke they are...They will never fix it, and/or insist on you trying to buy newer Roku devices first...a scam perpetuated by even bigger app design morons.

@rylerave71, it's not Roku's app.  Your anger is misplaced.

I am using the microphone on the mobile Roku app since my remote does not have mic capabilities. However, when I speak into the mic it is being received as a typical voice command instead of interacting with the Volley app. Is there a fix for that? Or am I doing something wrong?
