Roku voice remote acting up, volume

We purchased a roku device and voice remote in August. Over the last month, something happen and we had to start changing batteries every week. Now, over the last 2 days the volume keeps going up on it's own, the ok  button sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.  The ok button moves the selection one over instead of confirming and playing.  The device is only 4 months old but I can't barely watch TV. We unplugged roku from wall, changed batteries in the voice remote, nothing is helping! @rokusupport

    Before we proceed, we would like to know if the volume issue happened on a certain channel and content only or if it happened on whatever channel and content you played.

    Restart your Roku device:

    2. Select System
    3. Select Power
    4. If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step

      Thank you for your advice to use the remote on the app! Totally forgot about it.

      My husband took the remote apart and found something sticky which was the culprit of why the volume up and down and ok button were not working.  We have no idea what it was and how it got there but it fixed the problem. Thank you

        Thank you very much for reporting back.  I wish more people would do this instead of just leaving everybody hanging there.
