@BillBrasky posted a solution to the Roku forums that worked for me: “So it seems that going into your Roku settings and forcing the audio output to STEREO (instead of Dolby surround or whatever the other option(s) are) fixes this. But of course, it would need to be changed back when viewing other channels or when wanting good audio for external speakers. It seems that Roku/Apple needs to fix this.” https://community.roku.com/t5/Channel-Issues-Questions/No-sound-through-headphones-in-Apple-TV/m-p/543016#M30162

I have the same problem on my Roku 4660X (Ultra) when I use my headphones plugged into the remote (private listening). All other apps stream sound except Apple TV. I live in an apartment with thin walls, so to keep from disturbing my neighbors I use my headphones 100% of the time so this is a bit of a problem for me. Roku software version 9.2.0 build 4807-46. Apple TV app is up to date.
