Roku remote changing soundbar input

Jump to solution

I have a strange problem where my roku remote is changing the audio source on my sound bar (creative labs stage v2). It's peculiar because quickly double tapping the up arrow on the roku remote switches the sound bar between aux/optical modes, while double tapping volume down switches between hdmi/USB modes. There is some strange cross talk where the roku remote is communicating the audio input source to the sound bar and it's quite annoying. Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

If your Roku IR commands are so similar to Soundbar IR commands that they conflict, there's nothing you can do to switch IR addresses. And if the volume keys conflict too, those aren't Roku commands it's your tv commands that are conflicting too. You could switch from an IR Roku remote to Wifi voice remote, it won't help with your tv commands tripping your soundbar.
