Roku Streambar Inconsistent Audio Output
After almost 2 hours of chat and telephone support, I am told that my Roku Streambar is not a speaker. Really?? I have a TCL Roku TV and the Streambar SE. Audio output is inconsistent, regardless of the app I am streaming from, or using cable TV. Different shows within the same app will have different audio output, usually too low. Shows play at the same lower audio level that commercials play. Except that some commercials will blast me out of my chair because they are not automatically lowered. I have to always lower the volume if changing channels or changing a video. Often I give up watching something because the audio is never good enough. Settings are on Dialogue, Clarity on High. Connection is with HDMI to HDMI ARC port on TV. If this product is indeed NOT a speaker, why sell it under the heading of Audio products, and promote it's enhanced audio features? I've been a loyal Roku customer for many years. But I am ready to dump all of it and move to another brand.
Enable spatial audio support for the Roku app on iOS.
With the Roku app on my iPhone, I can listen to streaming content using headphones in "Headphone Mode". I use AirPods Pro, which have spatial audio capability, but unfortunately, the Roku app doesn't support it natively—only stereo sound is available. Since Roku supports wireless audio over Wi-Fi with the iOS app, it would be great to enjoy surround sound through compatible headphones on iPhone and iPad.
