Every answer below is scoped to these model identifiers. A neighbouring model in the same line can use a different part, a different reset sequence or a different radio, so matching the identifier before following a procedure is the step that decides whether the rest of the page applies to you.

Published specification
What is true of this model and changes how you fix it
These are the properties that decide which procedure applies. Each is read from the manufacturer’s own published figures for this model, not carried over from a sibling that shares its retail name.
- Device type — soundbar + 4K streamer in one
- The Streambar is a compact soundbar with a Roku 4K streaming player built in. It connects to the TV by HDMI (ARC) or optical for audio and outputs its own streaming picture over HDMI. So it is both an audio device and a streamer — a 'no sound' problem is the ARC/optical link and the TV's audio-output setting, while a streaming problem is its own Wi-Fi.
- HDR
- Streams 4K with HDR10 and HLG (no Dolby Vision on this model). Audio is Dolby Audio with virtual surround and adjustable speech clarity/bass modes in the Roku settings.
- Audio routing
- For the Streambar to play your TV's other inputs (cable box, console), the TV must send audio to it over HDMI-ARC or optical, and the TV's speakers must be set to the external audio system — a very common 'the soundbar is silent from my cable box' cause.

Exact questions
Questions that only have an answer for the Roku Streambar
Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.
My Roku Streambar has no sound from my cable box or game console.+
The Streambar plays its own streaming apps directly, but for anything plugged into the TV (cable box, console) the TV has to send that audio back to the Streambar over HDMI-ARC or optical. Connect the Streambar to the TV's HDMI-ARC port (or optical), enable HDMI-CEC/ARC on the TV, and set the TV's audio output to the external sound system rather than TV speakers.
