Roku Streambar sound cutting out while using HDMI
Hello, I, like many others here, am incredibly frustrated with the constant audio cutouts (randomly, at least 2-3 times per hour, sometimes 2-3 times every 5 min) while using HDMI sources connected to the TV. This issue is beyond annoying — it's a total "show stopper". (no audio cutout observed when using roku OS, although not using it a lot). I've gone through all the usual "troubleshooting" steps: swapping HDMI cables, power cycling the Streambar, etc., yet the problem still persists. When I use another soundbar from a different brand with the same TV and cables, it works perfectly — no issues, for years. What is even more frustrating is reading this issue has been ongoing for years with no real solution. Roku’s typical response of "we will contact you separately" is just lip service — it does little for the community at large, the expected purpose of this site. If this doesn’t get fixed very soon, I’ll be returning this product while I’m still within the return window. It's a shame because when it does work, the bar offers great value, but this constant audio dropout is unacceptable.

I have had the Roku stream at pro, bass pro and wireless speakers for 16 months now. Had a horrible time setting them up but once I got it figured out I loved them. Perfect for my space and worked perfect with my Roku tv. Two days ago I had to unplug one to clean the table they have been sitting on and could not get it to reconnect. I tried every step I could find on the internet and then finally was able to call and get a hold of someone after 2 days of trying to fix it. After an hour phone call, the Roku customer service person tells me there’s nothing they can do because I’ve had it for more than a year. Accused me of dropping it and that’s why it wouldn’t connect. I’ve used these products and had no problems but all of the sudden there’s nothing they can do? Am I supposed to spend $170 every year to replace their speakers? Roku needs to fix this.320Views0likes1CommentSubwoofer won't pair with Soundbar after years of working correctly
I noticed a blinking light on the back of my subwoofer in a dark room. Tried to re-pair. It finds it and gets stuck on the "updating subwoofer" and eventually errors out. This setup is an older soundbar. It has been paired for over a year with this subwoofer. Subwoofer not the issue because I tried pairing it with another Roku beta device and it paired with no issues. I've reset both devices and tried over and over, same result. The soundbar showed it was last updated on Nov 1st and that may have been when the issue started.

My Roku 4 device stopped supporting Hulu and eventually the new version of Sling. I could no longer stream these services on my main living room TV although still could with my older Roku devices on my other TVs. After unsuccessfully trouble shooting with Roku and Sling I finally figured Roku wants me to purchase a new player and purchased the Streambar SE. This was successfully installed (needed to use the optical cable as my TV does not have HDMI arc). At this time the Optical Cable has pulled out of the Streambar - it does not click in to the StreamBar fully. No amount of troubleshooting fixes this problem and now I am out and in worse shape than ever (no sound can't stream anything). And now I can't for the life of me find a live agent to discuss. Thoughts? Buy a new cable from a 3rd party? Switch to a different brand streaming device? IDK it shouldn't be this hard to "save money" by streaming.Solved1.2KViews1like5CommentsStreambar SE to composite connection
I just bought a Streambar SE and am trying to connect it to an older Samsung hdtv with an hdmi port as well as composite connections. I used a monster digital to analog/analog to digital combo audio converter to solve the lack of an optical port and could only get sound from the Roku and not from the OTA channels. Will an onn hdmi to composite converter work? Will I need to use it together with the monster adapter? What can I do?

For Christmas, we got my mother a new TCL tv, a Roku soundbar, and wireless speakers. After spending over an hour trying to get them connected the night before, we go to watch a football game and her speakers don't have any dialog. The only solution to this I can find is to use the "Stereo" playback instead of playthrough or automatic. However, when I use the stereo setting, the soundbar quits playing anything at all. We bought these speakers to make it so she can hear football games while cooking not just hear the random crowd noise and background. For how much these cost there better be a solution to hear dialog throughout all of the speakers and soundbar.Solved702Views0likes1CommentRoku Smart Soundbar & wireless speakers/sub connectivity problem
I have a Streambar Pro (9101x), 2 Roku wireless speakers in front, 2 ONN wireless speakers in back and a Roku wireless subwoofer. It's been working great for some time (years) till recently. Currently running 14.1. I'm not sure when this started exactly, but I noticed last night that none of the wireless speakers were working. I verified power on everything, attempted to reconnect and even though the speakers play the pre-recorded message fine, they never reconnect. I dropped all the speakers in the setup app, attempted to reconnect, nothing. I did a factory reset on the sound bar and attempted to reconnect, still nothing. Anyone have any idea what happened? Or suggestions as to what I try next?Solved1.3KViews0likes9CommentsIs Roku Plus 75" TV + Roku Wireless Soundbar + Roku Wireless Bass Pro a compatible setup?
It's not clear from the website on if this combination of audio devices is compatible with the Roku Plus TV. The subwoofer says" Requires either: Roku® Streambar®, Roku® Streambar® Pro, Roku Smart Soundbar, or Roku TV™ with Roku Wireless Speakers. I don't see a product called "Roku Smart Soundbar" for sale, and "Roku Wireless Soundbar" isn't listed. Not sure if they're the same. I will have a Roku TV, but wasn't planning on getting the "Roku Wireless Speakers" in addition to the soundbar and subwoofer. Do I need to for them all to work? Finally, is there a benefit to getting all-Roku products vs. buying a similarly priced system? I know I could spend $2k for a much better sound system, but that's not an option at the moment. Thanks in advance!Solved830Views1like1Comment
