Remotes

[JRabuco]

Hoping someone can help me

out here. My Roku remote started Not being able to hear me. I’ve tried the Roku app and that works fine for voice command but for some reason my remote doesn’t work anymore. Nothing is changed in my environment and I’ve done the normal troubleshooting techniques. Change the batteries, restarted the unit and repaired the remote. Does anyone here have an advice or a resolution to this?

Is your Roku software up to update?

SETTINGS....SYSTEM....SYSTEM UPDATE....CHECK NOW

Should be at Software version 9.4.0 Build 4200

If so, or after manual update, then do a System Restart.

SETTINGS....SYSTEM....SYSTEM RESTART

See if that helps.

Also, some have had success rebooting their Router (probably resets/clears any interference that may be happening on network that may be affecting communication with remote) after performing above.

Replacing the remote batteries fixed my issue.

Apparently, the batteries had a low charge.

I have the Roku Ultra with a hard-wired ethernet connection. To duplicate the problem of getting "Unable to hear you" error message, just turn the Roku on and give a command. It happens 100% of the time now.

Remote batteries are at 54% capacity.

System restart provided no joy.

Software is ver. 11.0.0 build 4193.

Yes, I tried that right away. No difference.

In fact I have tried all of the above recommendations to no avail.

But thanks anyway.

And who would replace batteries that are only 40% used?
