Roku audio plays in headphones instead of the television

Practical steps, clear explanations and a useful place to start.

Check whether a headphone or private-listening session is active on the remote or mobile app. Turn off the unwanted listening route before changing the television's entire sound configuration.

Why this happens

Roku can support an alternate headphone route depending on device and remote. A visible picture does not identify the selected sound destination.

Work through the steps

  1. Check TV volume and mute.
  2. Inspect connected remote headphones and mobile private listening.
  3. End the unwanted headphone route.
  4. Replay the same programme through the TV speakers.

What to avoid

Keep volume low when reconnecting speakers. Not every Roku model or remote exposes the same headphone feature.

Know what changed

The programme should become audible through the intended output. If it remains silent while another app works, investigate the affected app or source track.
