[ameinecke1217]

I have a streaming stick for k and cannot find a replacement remote every time I search it tells me the remote will work with everything but streaming sticks is there an online app so that I can use it

Do your search for a Roku Voice Remote.

When searching for voice remote for the 4k streaming stick, the ones I find don't have volume control.

I know the needed remote is not infrared. 

What technology does it use?

Can any other brand/s of universal remote be used to replace the Roku 4k streaming stick remote?

Thanks!

@SweetGiggly-

Roku sells two Voice Remote models.  They are compatible with all Roku's released since, I think, 2017 -- Roku TVs, Streaming Sticks, other streaming models.

Voice Remote $20:  https://www.roku.com/products/accessories/roku-voice-remote

Voice Remote Pro $30:  https://www.roku.com/products/accessories/roku-voice-remote-pro

Both communicate by direct WiFi connection to the Roku, not going through your local WiFi network.

Both models include tv power, volume, and mute controls.

They can be found at many retailers in addition to directly from Roku.

Here is the no cost solution, that replaced wireless Roku remotes. Do you have an old smart phone you are not using?  Download Roku App (Google Play), make sure it is the free app from Roku. Turn that old smart phone into a Roku streaming stick remote.

@Waffle1, good suggestion, but it only works if the stick is already connected to your network.
