Thanks for the quick response. I rebooted all devices and all software is current. But the issue remains. It seems that the watch app goes to sleep at times. While the stem is supposed to act as a volume control, I find it may take many twists before the volume changes, if at all. Same with the START/PAUSE button. At times, the controls are fine but at other times, response from the app is delayed or non-existent.
