I have a Roku Roku Streambar Pro and 4 Roku TV Wireless Speakers (no subwoofer). I love the speaker quality and want to use them for whole home audio rather than the intended surround sound. I already confirmed that all speakers are connected (within 30ft range) of the streambar. The speakers are spread out in different rooms in my house (1 speaker per room). This setup works great using music mode and I get great sound throughout my house, easily controlled through Roku Bluetooth or Spotify app

My problem: I cannot switch audio playback to the streambar pro when I want to actually watch TV. Audio continues to come out of the "front speakers" which are in different rooms. The only solution is to disconnect the "front speakers".

My request: with 4 speakers connected, allow user to switch audio playback between the wireless speakers and streambar. This already works when only using 2 speakers, since switching surround sound off effectively does the same thing.

Obviously this is not the intended use of the wireless speakers, but it adds value by allowing the wireless speakers to be used independently for music over the whole home. This is highly convenient given the ease of streaming music over Roku. Thanks!

I second this request. This will make it more comparable to a Sonos system.  it should be easier to switch from whole house to just say your living room when you're watching a movie.
