Roku remote unable to hear me

Hello I posted to this message board some months ago. I was subsequently emailed by your customer services department who asked me to send the faulty Roku 4 k streaming stick back to the Roku office for warranty replacement. 

I sent the faulty unit back in November and still haven’t got a new unit sent to me. It has been a long time. No body has contacted me to confirm what is happening. I have emailed numerous times and tried to call them but had no luck. I have paid for a product and sent it back so Roku now have my property and I have no smart Tv device. Please raise this with customer services and ask them to reply to me and to send the replacement stick as soon as possible. 

I tried an official compliant but was also ignored.

Re: Roku remote unable to hear me

Just started happening this evening. Always worked in the past. There was an update on my system in the past 24 hours as I can see changes in the home page menu. Now the voice search no longer works. Receive the error "Unable to hear you Try again." Rebooted the Ultra. Put fresh batteries in the remote Repaired the remote to device. Followed every suggestion in the past five pages of responses.

Device type: Roku Ultra

Serial number: YJ00DR742370

Re: Roku remote unable to hear me

I just went through all of this. It took me 3 months. Persevere. Keep contacting customer service. They will delay and stall and ask you for the same information, photographs of your remote etc etc etc. Stick with it. It took me 3 months but they eventually sent me a replacement remote. Respond and stay proactive. They're going to ask you to troubleshoot and Trust me, when I tell you this, you can troubleshoot all you want. Troubleshoot until the cows come home. The remote fails and they have to replace it. Stick with it and they will.
