Apple TV Remote Permanent Volume Up IR Sending

Hi,


I already found this topic in older questions with no solution. My Apple TV Siri Remote (Series 2) started to send Volume Up permanently to my TV. Also some IR controlled Toys of my kids are reacting on the signal. It is not even stopping when I turn of my Apple TV. Disabling IR in the settings of my ATV doesn‘t do anything. IR is still blasting. Is there a way to reset the remote itself?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 15

I had the same problem and fixed it. Same constant volume up from the new Siri remote. Out of nowhere this started happening. I tried everything. I thought maybe it needed charged. Nope. I tried unpairing it but couldn't. Reboot AppleTV. Unplug/plug in. Nope. Nothing.


So I started pressing random button combinations. FINALLY pressing the menu (button with the tv icon) and the down volume and holding them for about 5 or 10 seconds. The little blue light on my tv stopped blinking! I let go of the buttons and blue light on my tv was no longer blinking! Everything is now back to normal.


So that is what did it for me. Maybe it will do it for you! Obviously some kind of bug in the software that needs addressed.
