Apple TV remote

I have the latest Apple TV. And my problem is that I can't control the volume of my Samsung Soundbar using Siri Remote. By the way, the soundbar is connected optically. I tried to connect it via Bluetooth and I can now control its volume, but I still prefer the optical connection for convenience.

Verify that the audio controls are set as “Receiver via IR”.

If the soundbar expects an unusual volume control signal, then you may learn the remote new signals.
