Options are to stick to stereo sound for Netflix (and Vudu which also used DD+) or upgrade your receiver.
The OP is not using a receiver, but is plugged directly into the TV.
Answer remains the same. If the device in charge of the audio (tv or receiver) isn't capable of DD+, and the stream is in DD+, you get no sound. Switch to stereo, or get a new device, are for better or worse, the only answers.
That's all assuming the OP's problem is due to a DD+ stream. If the Roku and/or Netflix were already set to stereo, then there is another issue. In that case, first thing I'd try is re-seating the HDMI cable, then trying a different HDMI port.
