    Roku Streambar - Two Issues

    Since there is no power saving for stream bar my unit rarely goes to sleep or deep sleep. Every once in awhile if everything is off and press Roku Home button it will turn on the TV. So it has something to do with power saving though it's not a setting the user can change.

    Roku TV Platform removed from my home

    So ROKU, I have to delete your TV from my home!!! All 75" of this screen is diving into the street of Loser Ave. Your platform is horrible, everything about your platform is deletably significant. It is now time to seriously weigh all smartTVs across the board or Projectors for that matter, but succinctly, it is a matter of removing your TV right this instant!

    Philips Roku TV Sound Issue

    I had an external speaker plugged into the TV for about 1.5 years. I haven't used the TV in a couple months. Now the sound doesn't work. Tried resetting the audio in systems, Tried it with and without the external speaker. Tried unplugging the TV for 5 min. Finally I did a factory reset. Nothing works. Still no sound.

    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. My model 9102EU | SW 13.1.4.1515 | device ID 2E1288XXXXXX

    Turning off headphone jack mode while still plugged in to the headphone jack on Roku TV

    I purchased a Bluetooth external device that enables me to use Bluetooth headphones with my non Bluetooth Roku Onn tv when plugged into the headphone audio jack on the tv. I am able to pair my Bluetooth headphones successfully to the tv using this device. I am wondering how to turn off headphone (jack) mode while it is still plugged into the tv so we can go back and forth from headphone to speakers without unplugging or unpairing the external Bluetooth device and wireless headphones. Please advise.

    Streambar SE failure due to loose optical cable

    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.

    Audio Volume Modes (Volume Leveling) don't work correcrly on new Roku Ultra 2022

    I recently tried to upgrade my Roku Ultra 2017 (4660X) with a Roku Ultra 2022 (4802X). I purchased at Amazon (shipped and sold by Amazon) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09T4VZDYV/ (I noticed that the Roku Ultra 2022 was much lighter in weight than the Roku Ultra 2017. I didn't weigh them, but it is quite noticeable.) Everything went fine with setting up the Roku Ultra 2022 until I started playing media, in **any** channel or application, and the behavior of the sound was **very** different than the Roku Ultra 2017. I have a stereo soundbar, so the connection goes from HDMI on Roku -> HDMI on TV, then Toslink Digital Audio Fiber Optic output on TV -> Toslink input on the soundbar. I configured both Roku's exactly the same way, with Audio set to "Stereo". There are three sound leveling settings: "Leveling", "Night", and "Off". On the Roku Ultra 2022, no matter what leveling setting I use, the audio sounds like it has a "pumping" effect going on, like the volume is being gain ridden slightly up and slightly down constantly. It does this even if leveling is set to "Off". What's worse, for me, is that the sound leveling settings behave VERY differently on the Roku 2022, than they do on the 2017. On the Roku Ultra 2017, I usually use the "Night" leveling setting. This gain rides the volume up on audio that is very low, and rides it down on audio that is very high. This is what I prefer, because it evens audio out and makes it more audible all of the time, without affecting dynamic range too much. "Leveling" seems to only make the sound quieter, so that the volume would have to be turned up to hear the loudest sounds at a consistent level, but then quiet sounds would still be very quiet. On the Roku Ultra 2022, both of the sound leveling settings for "Leveling" and "Night" seem to be working the same way. They both just seem to either have no effect, or they both just make all sounds quieter... almost like the "Night" mode isn't working at all on the Roku Ultra 2022. This was a show stopper for me. I disconnected the Roku Ultra 2022 and put the Roku Ultra 2017 back. I can't have the audio like this. Can anyone confirm if this is correct behavior? Is the audio supposed to behave differently on the Roku Ultra 2022 as compared to the Roku Ultra 2017? (I didn't include a problem report because this is general behavior of the system itself.)

    Streambar 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? Model Code:UN22F5000AFXZA Version no:FP002 S/N:Z6SQ3CPF221813M Thanks.

    crackling audio wireless soundbar

    I have the roku wireless soundbar and this morning the audio was crackling. It made the sound blown out and crackling. This is the second time that this has happen and it starts happening a few months later. The only temporary fix that I have for it is a system restart.
