I have tried everything suggested in this and other forums:

Unplugging and plugging, reseting, factory resetting, chaning sound settings, I even created a new user account and installed some apps. Software is up to date. The problem persists.

I've even used extension cords to plug the steambar to different wall outlets throughout the house. Also tested voltage with multimeter to be sure no voltage surges are happening.

The distortion and cracling occurs throughout the system, all apps, bluetooth, HDMI, etc.

I've made my own post four months ago and it seems I will not receive an actual solution. I've tried every suggested solution I found online too which did absolutely nothing. I've factory reset nearly everyday. I've made sure all cables are plugged in. I've left everything unplugged for more than 24 hours. I replaced HDMI cable. I've made certain everything is updated. I did it all and it kills me that after plugging them in, resetting, and after going through the process of setting it all up the speakers still sound like trash. I've went as far as purchasing new speakers and had the same issue! 

My solution to everyone that has this issue is to not use Roku products. You're better off with a more reliable sound system than this cheaply made garbage. Might as well try to sell them to get some money back. 

Roku, please do not respond with your copy/paste response unless it's to say there will be an update that fixes this issue permanently. Thanks.

I too have fallen victim to this widespread bass distortion/buzzing issue.  Support chat was of no real help, they say I have a hardware problem and there is no fix or repair option.
