Sound Bar with Roku TV

Forgive my ignorance. I haven't bought home stereo equipment in 10 years.
I have a Roku TV in a workout room and the sound just isnt there. I want to buy a sound bar to help out. Id have a direct audio connection to the TV.
My question is, will the TV remote (Roku specific) control the volume on the sound bar? I really dont want to have multiple remotes like ive had in the past. Dont need anything too fancy. Just volume up/down on the same remote that I use to switch apps on the TV.

Yes, any sound bar with ARC, which is an hdmi connection, will work. I have a Vizio sound bar hooked up to my TCL Roku tv and control the volume with the tv remote.
