Voice remote Pro Mic not working

Jump to solution

I am yet another person whose voice remote pro mic has stopped working. Restarted the roku, repaired the remote. The mic on the remote has just stopped working.

 

And I don't have the message icon in order to send someone a message. Why do they make this so complicated

Thanks for keeping us posted, @EllisDen.

May we also know what specific Roku TV/player this remote is currently paired to? Also, is this the remote that came with it?

We also suggest resetting your Roku remote by pressing and holding the Back and Home buttons simultaneously for about 20 seconds. After doing so, pair it again and try to utilize the voice command feature to see if this will make any difference.

Let us know how it goes and we'll go from there.

Best regards,
Carly

We had 2 remotes - voice command working great for years. Suddenly they both stopped a week or so ago. Ordered new remote - set it up this AM and it DOESN'T WORK EITHER!!!  We tried everything many times  HELP

  1. Reboot your voice remote
  2. Reboot your streaming device
  3. Replace or recharge the batteries in your voice remote (no batteries in 2 of our remotes) 
  4. Re-pair your voice remote to your streaming device

"hands free" has never worked because we have to use the "IR TV setup" - but the microphone button has worked on all remotes in the past - and as I noted, we just set up a brand new remote we bought from you all and the voice command doesn't work on it eit -- this is so FRUSTRATING!!

Any help appreciated

Roku Voice Remote Mic not working

Jump to solution

I set up my roku streaming device on May 26, 2024.  A few days ago the microphone on the remote stopped working.  I followed the 4 steps on the support website (uninstall and reinsert existing batteries, reboot streaming device, put new batteries in remote after reboot, pair remote again to TV) to try to solve the issue and that did not work.  I reset my wifi to see if maybe the signal needed a boost.  Still a problem.  I speak into the remote with the microsoft button pushed down and I either get nothing or an orange circle that says something went wrong, try again.  It worked fine until a few days ago.  I tried it while on home screen and while in an app and it does the same thing.  

Is there anything else I can do with the Roku tv remote to get the microphone to work again?

Thank you for posting here in the Roku Community, @sundial5924!

We appreciate you letting us know about the issues you've encountered with your Roku remote's voice command feature. We'd be happy to help you resolve this. 

Rest assured that we will coordinate this with our Support team for additional reinforcement. That said, I will contact you via Private Message to gather further personal details to proceed to the next step.

In the meantime, you may install the Roku mobile app as an alternative to your physical remote. This works well with your Roku Streaming Stick 4K, which has a voice command feature. 

Best regards,
Carly
