Hi everyone, I just bought apple tv 4k device today and i cant turn the volume down/up. When i click the volume button I can see the light on the box blinking. I tried resetting the remote control but it didn't fix anything. What should i do ?

The Siri Remote allows for various configuration options in Settings.

See if any of the other options (i.e. not Auto) work better for you.


Apple TV: Settings﹥Remotes and Devices﹥Volume Control

﹥Auto (let tvOS automatically choose an option, what it thinks might be best)

﹥HDMI (for select AV receivers and select soundbars; not for use with built-in TV speakers, as TVs ignore that.)

﹥Receiver via IR (Siri Remote communicates with receiver directly)

﹥TV via IR (Siri Remote communicates with TV directly)

﹥Off (no volume control through the Siri Remote or Apple TV box)

﹥Edit Devices … (e.g. custom name the currently selected option as a new option)

﹥Learn New Device … (copy control signals from another device remote (IR), in case a device doesn’t use “standard” control signals.)

it does not control the volume in the box itself it relies on passing the commands on to the tv or soundbar using the technology called hdmi-cec Consumer Electronics Control - Wikipedia


it has to be supported by the tv and also some tv manufactoers call hdmi-cec something else in their settings
