To force close an app, double-press the TV or Home button swipe left or right to highlight the app and swipe up on the Siri remote touchpad.
This project began when a longtime retail customer reached out for help after moving in with her aging mother. With a teenage son attending school virtually, her mother’s use of technology for entertainment, and her own desire for high-speed connectivity when working from home, she recognized the bandwidth of their current network wasn’t cutting it. The Sound Room suggested and ultimately implemented a network upgrade in the home, bringing all her existing electronics into the system and making it all work together.
The client was extremely happy with the outcome and asked if we could do the same thing for her business, Heritage Veterinary Hospital in Creve Coeur. The company was getting poor performance from their network and the devices on it. They were preparing to make a serious investment in fiber optic cable upgrade as a result. They brought us in to evaluate the network and determine if there were opportunities to improve performance inside the building.
Aron Zoellner always wanted a home theater but didn’t know if he would ever have the right space for it. But when he and his wife purchased a new home, they made the decision to renovate the basement and the home theater dream came back into the discussion.
A do-it-yourselfer by nature, Aron’s first thought was to try to tackle the project on his own. With a major in computer animation, a minor in sound design, and a career in computer graphics and visualization, he knew enough to consider the possibility. But realizing the volume of decisions that needed to be made he didn’t want to make one he’d regret. Aron decided that to get the home theater experience he’d always wanted, he needed the expertise of someone who helped clients make decisions like these every day. He turned to the St. Louis AV experts, The Sound Room, for help.
As home technology has evolved, so have the connectivity expectations of today’s homeowners. That’s why The Sound Room is launching a new construction division to help builders capitalize on the current and future potential of connected home technology.

Some Roku Ultra owners have reported that there is no sound to be heard when streaming content.
Potential solutions:
The issue generally seems to be caused by the wrong setting being enabled by default. The audio settings can be found by going to Settings – Audio. If you are using a S/PDIF (optical) cable for audio output to a receiver, try setting the audio mode to Dolby Digital. If you are connected via HDMI to the TV and optical to AVR, change the audio mode to Dolby Digital/DD+
If multiple devices on your network can not connect to the internet yet they show they are connected to the home network your modem, which is provided by the internet provider, and your router may not be sync’d properly. Try power cycling the equipment.

We recently visited our friends at Creve Coeur Camera, and were thoroughly impressed with the shopping experience that we had with them. When buying complex technology like cameras, the value of experiencing it in person with the assistance of an expert cannot be understated. As a local retailer ourselves, we realized that the perks of buying from a local expert also apply to shopping with us!
When buying new technology, it’s common for people to hastily take their shopping needs online. They search for products and try to sift through the reviews, do a bit of research, and place the order. They pray that the new product will work with the other components in their existing system. These are all typical concerns for consumers, especially when spending hundreds to thousands of dollars on electronics.
So why do we recommend shopping locally instead?
Our associates can create a custom system to fulfil your needs. The Sound Room’s team of experts in home technology, entertainment, audio and automation will make home life easy, connected, simpler and safer, all while saving time and energy.
We have the experience and knowledge to design a comprehensive system that will provide you with the appropriate solution for your home or business.
