Roku remote suddenly stopped controlling sound bar?

Jump to solution

Roku sound bar light is on. Remote will turn on tv and sound bar when pushing on/off button. 

Remote will do nothing else. Can't get Roku program to appear on tv.

Sound bar light blinks when pushing any remote button.

Remote mute and volume used to work. Not now.

Nothing happens when talking into voice.

I have the Roku app on my iPhone. Same results.

Help!!

Adding to my last comment: I did unplug the soundbar. Yet to search the tv settings. :)))
