Re: I have a sound bar connected by an optical cable but when I turn the volume up using the Roku re

the soundbar connected via optical can only be controlled by remote using IR commands, that is not a Roku remote. Roku remotes can only be programmed for Tv IR commands. And than if the soundbar was connected via hdmi cable, the tv could possibly control it via cec. With optical you will need a third party universal remote, sorry.
