Can't hear audio?
To hear audio, you need a TV, AV receiver, or soundbar that can decode Dolby Digital or AC3 audio over HDMI. Most modern TVs can do this, though we’ve noticed a few Samsung TVs cannot. All Roku televisions should be able to play audio without any trouble.
Roku audio settings:
- Go to the Roku home screen
- Then navigate to “Settings” → “Audio”
- Select “Streaming audio format” and change it to “Dolby”
- Go back to Audio and select “Digital output format”
- and change “Digital output format” mode to “Custom” → “Dolby” → “Dolby Digital”
If you are still having issues: While watching live TV in the HDHomeRun app, press the * button and see if your “Volume mode” is set to “off” (this might not always be required, depending on the Roku model)
