Just setup a Roku Ultra (2017) to my Sony x900e. I have a Sonos Playbar connected to the Sony x900e via optical. Any advice on why I am not getting any sound output from the Roku Ultra? I have a ps4 on another hdmi input and the Playbar works fine there.

All good, thanks Chris. I see you're helping me out on another thread and was able to resolve the issue by resetting/rebooting everything. Audio is now coming through properly. Do you happen to know if the actual new roku controller with IR can control the volume of the Playbar? I tried setting it up thru the sonos app, but didn't have any luck.

I had the same issue with a Roku Ultra (2017). I ended up getting the older Roku Ultra (2016) and now I get Dolby Digital 5.1 from the Roku. The 2016 model is the only Roku that will convert Dolby Digital Plus to Dolby Digital. All the native Roku apps send DD+ by default which the Playbar can’t handle.
