I signed up to Amazon Prime yesterday, streaming it through a Roku
Express 4K.
After watching two episodes of Start Trek Picard I got an error message
on screen whining about the HDMI cable. I use a Yamaha RX-S601D to
switch the various devices which puts sound to the speakers and the
video to my TV.
After a bit of Googling I found it seems to be a fairly common issue.
There was only one mention of DRM which I suspect is the root of the
problem. Can software detect that the HDMI cable is going through a
switch instead of directly form the Roku box to the TV? Nothing else complains and I don't want to be stuck with TV sound.

I have an Nvidia Shield, an Amazon stick, a Sony Blu-ray player, a
computer and a Panasonic Freeview receiver connected through an HDMI
switch followed by a pass-through audio extractor to provide stereo
phono outputs for a hi-fi amplifier. The TV display has no signals fed
to it other than a single HDMI cable, and has its volume control
permanently turned down to zero.
The switch and the audio extractor are just little no-name boxes
costing a few tens of pounds, not the hundreds that an all-singing all-dancing media receiver would probably have cost. I have this
arrangement as a result of gradually changing things and adding things
to what I already had over the years, and might have something quite different if I could afford to scrap everything and start from
scratch, but it all works, no matter which input to the switch is
selected. If the TV is able to detect where the signal is coming from
it's not complaining. Maybe the answer is to keep things simple?

I have an RX-s601D and encountered this with 4K devices, it is due to
the copy protection
The solution:
Connect the Roku to HDMI input 6 which is HDCP2.2 Capable
Brilliant, thanks Ken :-)

Silly question, why not make them all the same or at least fall back to >something, not just fix it so only one hdmi does the thing the way you
want.
In my view the whole system is far too prescriptive. I needed to split off >the pc sound and not have it going through my telly when using it as a >monitor. I havd to get a via to hdmi adaptor and not use the audio bit to
get it to work. Its supposed to be configurable in Windoze, but it seems
the hardware often ignores you.

I switched it over and have now watched the first three episodes of the original Star Trek - I didn't know but only Spock was in episode 1, the
rest turned up in episode 2!
You must be talking about the pilot episode with a different captain;
not shown until many years after the original broadcasts. They re-used
bits of it in one of the canonical episodes.
