Roku remote pro (2nd edition) not voice command not working

Recently bought the Roku voice remote pro this is the one that has the little switch on the side where you can turn the voice on or off and is also rechargeable. 

Problem is the voice feature of this remote has completely stopped working this after working for several weeks after I first bought it. I've read several solutions presented here in the community and have tried all turning off the TV, holding down the buttons to reset the remote pairing remote etc...

None of these solutions have worked. The remote itself works as it should manually. No problems there. Voice just will not work after I've done a reset a re-pairing It might work once. Then ask for time or channel and nothing when I hold down the mic button I get a little thing on the bottom of the TV that says press and hold the button while you speak even though I'm doing that.

Re: Roku remote pro (2nd edition) not voice command not working

I have what I believe is the second edition voice remote. And yes I have tried resetting by holding the home and back button for 20 seconds. I have tried resetting at least 10 times now. Still the voice function does not work. Like I said the manual function no issues... I'm just sorry that I spent the extra money for this at this point 

Was purchased from Walmart about a month and a half ago.

Thank you for responding, @JOHNNYD1632.

I appreciate your effort in troubleshooting your Roku Voice Remote Pro (2nd edition). In this case, I will coordinate this with our Support team for additional reinforcement. 

Kindly check your inbox, and I will contact you via private message to request additional details regarding this matter. 

In the meantime, you may install the Roku Mobile App as an alternative to your physical remote. This works well with Roku's streaming players and has a Headphones mode (private listening) feature. 

Your continuous patience and understanding as we work on this are highly appreciated. 

Best regards,
Carly

Re: Roku remote pro (2nd edition) not voice command not working

Mine is doing thw same thing. I have a love hate relationship with this Voice remote pro 2. The hands free  voice command  sucks. It stopped working completely after ONE WEEK of ownership! And thw manual one only works every once in a while. This thing needs work badly.

I did this and it's still not working - I wonder if the last upgrade had a flaw?

Re: Roku remote pro (2nd edition) not voice command not working

I am having the same issue. I have reset it twice now and it has not helped. Just bought it a couple weeks ago and this was the main selling point for me. Should have gotten the cheaper one instead.
