I have a cheap ijoy wireless sound bar that I bought and can't get it to pair with my onn. Roku TV. It says if it was previously set up, ( I had the sound bar paired with my phone earlier), to press the reset button on the sound bar for,10 seconds then it should start pairing. I don't see a reset button on the sound bar! Any suggestions????
Roku TVs will only pair with Roku wireless speakers. They don't have Bluetooth, so there's no way to pair with a non-Roku soundbar.

Re your answer that, "Roku TVs will only pair with Roku wireless speakers. They don't have Bluetooth, so there's no way to pair with a non-Roku soundbar." I'm not sure that I understand the answer because it appears to address trying to pair speakers and soundbar. That sort of addresses my problem which is, I recently bought a Roku Select Series 4K HDR TV and at the same time bought a Yamaha ATS-1090 sound bar, which is connected to the TV via ARC HDMI cable.
Both The Roku TV & Yamaha sound bar have wireless pairing capability, But, when I've gone through all installation steps, the TV cannot find the sound bar. Is that because there are no non-Roku sound bars that are compatible with or will pair with Roku TV's, period?

HDMI-ARC is absolutely the preferred method of connecting a TV to a soundbar. Any other method you might lose multi-channel sound, and only get stereo. But yes, to my knowledge a Roku TV can only pair with Roku speakers. Wireless headphones might work, but that's the only possibility I can think of.
I believe based on talking with representative that I can use a non Roku device for wireless. Hmm. I know right? Wish I had known before I brought my new television
