I agree, if it worked before with the same setup, then it should still (be able to) work now.

Restarting the remote (TV + Volume Down) is the advised way of bringing back volume controls. Else verify the volume control settings on Apple TV. If the volume buttons on your Apple TV remote aren't working - Apple Support


If the issue persists after that (possible hardware failure), then contact Apple Support.


Note that volume control uses IR, so keep the IR receptor on the TV unobstructed for a direct line-of-sight.
