Roku Star opens an app menu: reach the volume mode elsewhere

An app can own the button action

Roku notes that some streaming apps assign Star a function other than opening the expected sound options. That local button action does not prove the remote is faulty or the device lacks every volume mode.

Check the exact action shown in the current app. A programme-specific menu and a platform sound menu are different layers even when they use the same physical button.

Use a supported settings route

Roku documents choosing the sound mode from another appropriate app and returning, where the selected mode remains in effect. Follow the current instructions for the actual Roku product; TV and player settings can differ.

After returning, compare the same passage at a moderate level. Confirm the intended listening change rather than assuming that a menu selection established its audible result.

Retain the product limits

Available modes vary by model. If a mode never appears through the documented route, consult product support before inventing a hidden switch or factory-resetting the device.

A useful report names the Roku model, app and Star action, plus the route used to select sound mode. It keeps an app’s input handling separate from a hardware or programme-quality claim.
