I just installed HDHOMERUN on two TVs (will eventually be 3) and get no audio. Video is fine. I also installed HDHOMERUN on my iMac, and on it I get both audio and video. I have tried internet suggested solutions for starting the audio on TVs controlled by Roku but, so far, nothing works. Any way to get audio when using Roku?

Re: No Audio when using Roku
With roku make sure you have a (modern) real ultra not some "less than" or "sucky edition" ultra so you can get dolby audio support. Even then there can be other problems with the built in player. On models without dolby audio support, the best you can do is pass the audu bitstream through but there are some tv's that dont accept dolby audio via hdmi (though most in the past 5 years do).
Re: No Audio when using Roku
If you have a Roku Ultra 4800X or newer it is the Roku that handles the audio.
Other models pass the audio through to the TV and will work as long as Roku is configured correctly. (The exception being Samsung TVs that are 15+ years old)
Almost always no audio is caused to the Volume mode setting. Go into Live TV so the channel is playing, press *, and set Volume mode to off.
