Roku ultra making loud noise when turned on have to unplug to stop it.

The problem with specific solutions as defined here is that when Roku changes the menu content in subsequent software updates, the solution is no longer clear,

For example, this forum thread suggests: Home Settings > Audio HDMI Auto passthrough

as a solution, however my ROKU ULTRA (v14.0.4, Build 12221) has instead both:

Home > Settings > Audio > Digital output format > Auto

Home > Settings > Audio > Digital output format > Passthrough

Which is it?

I have always assumed that the loud noise is undecoded digital sound, is this correct?
