Verify all Channels or Apps: You have to now check whether the issue is occurring with every channel or app you are streaming on your Roku TV. If the issue occurs with more than one streaming channel or app, then there might be a technical issue or possibility that the signal strength of the network is poor. 

In case, the audio playback issue is occurring with a specific channel, try to view a different content title to further isolate the issue. You can perform two actions with the channel.

If the TV is connected to a different device such as a cable or satellite box, DVD, Blu-Ray, etc. make sure that the cable connections are properly done (red and white cables for the audio).  If the external device comes with a separate remote, use that to adjust the volume levels.
