I have issues with sound on my current tv. I have an older Roku stick  will the new one with Dolby sound work on my tv and will it improve the sound on my streaming stations?

Thanks for reaching out here in the Roku Community, @thought12

We appreciate you taking the time to inquire about the compatible Roku devices to achieve the Dolby Audio experience on your streaming setup. We'd be glad to provide the information you need. 

Please note that if you decide to buy a Roku Player with Dolby Audio support, it is important to ensure that your TV also supports Dolby Audio. Without it, your TV may not work with your setup despite the Roku player's Dolby Audio capability. 

If your TV supports Dolby Audio, connecting it to a Roku player that supports Dolby Audio can significantly enhance your streaming experience. If you're unsure, contact the TV manufacturer for further assistance in determining your TV's audio capability.

However, if you have an older TV and cannot support Dolby Audio, we highly suggest purchasing a Roku Streambar, as it supports this feature to match your preferred setup.
