Can You Connect Roku Directly To Router?

To see if you can connect your Roku with an Ethernet cable, look on the back of the device for a port labeled Ethernet. If you see this, use an Ethernet cable and connect the Roku to your router.
If you have a Roku Streambar, you can also buy a USB Ethernet adapter and hook it up to your router that way. A Roku TV may also have an Ethernet port, so check the back of the TV if you have one.

2. Go to Settings > Network > Set up connection.
3. Select Wired connection.
4. The Roku should automatically detect your network.

Why Is My TCL Roku TV Not Playing Sound?
When your TCL Roku TV doesn’t play sound, but the display is fine, these settings could be culprits:
• Your remote volume could be very low or set to mute
• Your speakers are off
• The Volume mode is on Night or Leveling
• Private listening is on for headphones-only listening with the Roku mobile app

How to Fix Roku TV Sound Issues ?
When your sound doesn’t work on your Roku TV, try this list of fixes to restore your audio.
1. Check your remote volume. Press the volume up and mute buttons. If your remote isn’t responsive, follow these steps to reset your Roku remote.
2. Make sure your speakers are on. Go to Settings > Audio > Speakers. If Off is selected, no sound will come from your TV or external speakers.
3. Disable audio leveling. Press the Star button on your remote to open the Options panel. Select Off under Volume mode to see if that resolves your no-audio issue.
4. Turn off private listening in the Roku mobile app. If you see a headphones icon on your screen, open the Roku app and tap the headphones icon to disable private listening.
5. Check your Wi-Fi connection. If you have a poor network connection, your audio quality could suffer.
6. Look for a system update. Check your Roku TV Settings for an OS update. On most Roku TVs, this setting lives under System > System Update.
7. Restart your Roku TV. Try a system restart if an update isn't available. This step often resolves broad system issues.
8. Check all your Roku channels. If the menu and all channels are silent, you’re likely dealing with a Roku OS or TV issue. If it's just one app, check with the app developer for more information or delete and reinstall the channel.
9. Double-check the audio and HDMI cable connections. Check for loose audio output and input connections with external accessories like soundbars, and ensure that the power cord to your Roku TV is secure. You might also consider replacing cables for good measure.
10. Adjust the audio settings. Whether you use the TV speakers or set up a surround sound system with your Roku TV, choose Automatic instead of a specific audio format from System > Audio.
