Roku Soundbar freezing screen, other issues - unable to reach support

Roku soundbar purchased in late November.  After using successfully for about two weeks, I started having several different issues with the soundbar - which I am also using to stream in addition to sound.  The soundbar will often distort the screen and there is nothing to do but unplug for many hours and then try again.  I also perform a system restart daily to try to avoid but it only works for a day or two.  In addition, it will freeze the screen a lot during watching.  When I switch to my Roku TV to stream I do not have this freezing issue.  My wifi performs well, it isn't the issue.  I've tried many different HDMI cables so that isn't the issue either.

I also had the roku wireless speakers but they drop the connection so much I've decided to scrap them.

I have tried to contact support directly but the submission form doesn't actually allow submission.

Anyone else had any success with the soundbar while also using it to stream?

I’m about to take mine back to Best Buy for the exact same reason. Worked flawlessly the first several weeks and now it’s junk. Constantly freezing and I consistently get over 400 Mbps on internet so it’s not a speed issue. I can stream from my iPhone to my smart TV and have zero issues but I am not happy.

I have this issue as well. It's just a great big freezing machine. Terrible product.
