Re: No sound

It's obvious most recent commentators haven't read the whole thread.

Every 'fix' has been tried and will only be a temporary fix. This includes:

1. rebooting the ROKU
2. Changing sound settings
3.  New HDMI cord
4. Changing HDMI ports
5. Voodoo rituals
6. Prayer.

An hour later / a day later / a week later, the issue WILL return.

I think a gentleman responded early on but crickets since then. I see the same complaints on their Facebook posts. They need to do better!

My fix is STILL Working. I switched out the (no sound)  Livingroom Roku device  with the Bedroom working  Roku device and I have sound. It hasn't quit. 

But yeah, ROKU Tech should chime in...Any-day now.

I got this to work on my system - Roku stick on a Vizio TV (no external speakers or soundbar).

On the Roku stick menu, go to Settings -> Audio -> HDMI -> and set to PCM - Stereo. It appears that the auto detect routine has a defect in it where it fails to switch over after one of the states was selected. The Audio Mode setting did not make a difference.

Hope it works for you while Roku find the bug and squashes it.

It worked for me. But judging from what other commenters have said, it isn't universal.

But we do forget that everything is a computer now. So you use the same method. Often trouble shooting is often answering yes or no to what you come up with.

Right, I get that everything is a computer but what I don’t get is the lack of engagement from Roku representatives. If their product they need to acknowledge this and offer a solution. Even dating one is in the works is better than silence.

Great idea - Not! I don't want to restart my Roku 3 or 4 times a day. It is obviously a Roku issue. I have 3 Roku devices and all 3 are doing the same thing. You pause or change to a different Roku channel and you lose sound, so then the only option is to restart the Roku device each time.  There has got to be a better answer.
