Re: audio issues playing files from usb Drive

Roku still has not fixed the audio issues when playing movies from a usb device on a roku ultra. So annoying!

If you really need or want to watch shows from usb device currently the only way is to buy app “PlayUSB” from roku App Store. It around $3-5.  It takes a little longer to load depending on how much you have but it works.

Re: audio issues playing files from usb Drive

Same issue - loud clicking noice when paying from NAS drive via Media player.

Roku Ultra 4660x

YJ0007423726

10.0.0.0 build 4209-46

CK4890423726

yes, but sample files are movies of 4GB. 

OMG, this has been reported long ago, my entire setup is unusable, as most of my videos are ac3. This makes me rethink the need to have roku at all.

I dont know why I even bothered  to create ticket. I guess I genuinely wanted to report bug so they could fix it. Ah well.

Hopefully, everyone who experiences this level of "support" will tell everyone they know to NEVER, EVER buy a ROKU product. Period.
