Remotes

Roku Ultra 4670X model

SW version 10.0.0 build 4290-46

When I plug headphones into the controller, it becomes unable to send commands to the TV or the Roku itself for a couple minutes. Then the Roku reboots itself. This happens every time I plug a headset into the controller.

I have only noticed this within the past week or so. Is this a bug with the latest software or something?

You probably mean firmware version 10.0.0-4209.

Try:

1) Check for updates:  Settings/System/System update/Check now

2) Restart your Roku:  Setting/System/System restart/Restart

3) Remove batteries from remote for a few minutes, reinstall (try new batteries as well)

[Ddsmitty1]

Yup, I did mean 4209. 
1) sw is up to date

2) I restarted the system

3) I put in fresh batteries

I plugged the headset in and the system rebooted again. This time I left the headset plugged in throughout the reboot, and every time I push a button on the remote (with the headset plugged in) the system reboots again.

So, no change in the results, unfortunately.

Very frustrating since the ability to listen from the controller is the main reason I upgraded to Ultra in the first place.

What is the remote model # and firmware version?  Settings/Remotes & devices/Remotes/<remote type> (In use)/About

Model RC496

Firmware version 2.01.19.108

That's the standard 4670 remote and current firmware.

I can't reproduce it with my 4670 and RC496 and headphones (any kind).

Does this happen with all apps/in the UI, or only when you are in a specific app?

Try changing your audio settings and seeing if this still happens: 

1) Change Settings/Audio/HDMI=PCM-Stereo, and Settings/Audio/Audio mode=Stereo

2) Plug in headphones

Otherwise, before doing a factory reset, you might want to unplug the 4670 for 5-10 minutes and try again, and contacting Roku directly to report this:

chat/email/phone:    https://support.roku.com/contactus/contact-options (choose setup/ultra/other/need more help?)

..and message @RokuDanny-R  with your system details and a brief description and he can assist you further.

I'm still seeing this reboot issue on my Roku Ultra with the latest firmware. The workaround of changing to Stereo seems to work, but is there going to be a real fix for this problem. It's been reported for many months now.

I just encountered this issue for the first time, and am dismayed to find it's an unresolved issue over a year old.

I’m still seeing this issue after all this time. I plug in a headset, the Roku reboots. Happens no matter what app I’m using. Even happens on the Home Screen. This is the main feature I bought this thing for, and it’s frustrating that I’d doesn’t work as advertised. Can anyone help?
