Sound bar issues

Hello,

I have a Samsung TV and a Samsung sound bar connected via optical cable. We just upgraded to the 4k Apple TV and for some reason I can connect my remote to control the tv volume but it won’t connect to the sound bar. The older Apple TV connected to both so I’m not sure why I’m getting hung up on this. I have updated the Apple TV, I’ve reset the remote, and re-paired the remote. Is there something else I can try?

Apple TV Remote Controls Soundbar Volume but won’t turn on/off My Apple TV remote successfully controls my volume on a Samsung Soundbar via IR (learned remote pairing) but it won’t turn the Soundbar on/off. It used to do this but for some reason I can’t get it to work anymore. The Soundbar is connected to the TV via Optical cable (HDMI from Apple TV to TV)

Apple TV 4K remote and soundbar volume I am looking for help getting my Apple TV 4K remote to control volume on my Samsung soundbar. I have followed the instructions through Settings > Remotes and Devices > Volume Control > Learn New Device… but this did not work. When prompted, I pressed the volume up/down and mute buttons on the Samsung remote and named the device. I then clicked volume buttons on the Apple TV remote to test the configuration, but my Samsung TV displayed a message “Your TV is set to use external speakers. Adjust the volume on the connected speakers directly.” I double-checked that volume control was set to the new configuration, instead of Auto or TV via IR. It seems that the Apple TV remote is still sending volume commands to the TV, instead of the soundbar. Can anyone please advise?

New 4K remote works fine with except volume control. My previous (older) Apple TV’s worked fine in this area. My new Apple TV 4K works great in all aspects. However, I can’t get the remote volume control to change the volume. With two previous and older Apple TV’s, with the same equipment worked fine. Even the volume control. Thanks
