Here are a few methods How To Turn The Volume Up On Roku Tv?
How To Turn The Volume Up On Roku tv
Use the Remote
We’ll start with the basics. The Roku remote. For readers who are used to older style remotes, the Roku remote may seem so simple you may have some difficulty with it.
Using the physical remote is the easiest way to manipulate the volume on your Roku device.
- Press the Volume Up button to increase the volume.
- Press the Volume Down button to decrease the volume.
- Optional – Press the Mute button to mute or unmute the TV.
Note that physical Roku remotes are not always interchangeable. For example, a TCL Roku TV remote may not work for a Roku stick inserted in an LG or a Samsung smart TV.
It’s always best to use the remote that came with your Roku device. But, if you’re using a Roku stick on a non-Roku smart TV, you should also be able to use the TV’s remote control to change the volume.
Use the Roku Mobile App
The Roku Mobile App is a free app available on both Google Play and the Apple store for Android and iOS device users. This app allows you to turn your smartphone into a virtual remote for your Roku streaming stick or Roku smart TV.
The app can help you browse channels, install or remove channels, and pretty much access any feature on your Roku account. However, it can also be turned into a remote, by accessing the remote interface.
Its features will be more limited than what you see on a physical Roku remote, but the basic controls are still available.
- Install the Roku Mobile App from Google Play or the App Store.
- Go to your Home Screen on your phone.
- Select Apps.
- Find and tap the Roku Mobile App icon.
- Tap the joystick icon in the middle of the bottom menu bar.
- Use the speaker icons at the bottom to adjust the volume.
- Tap on the headphones icon in the bottom right corner to switch to private listening mode.
The icon on the far left in our screenshot is the ‘Mute’ button while the one in the center is the volume down. To the far right, you’ll find the volume up button.
