After trying many many things and being frustrated that ATV update broke the volume control for the TV connected soundbar , I finally ran into a solution.
Follow instructions here and restart your remote . I’m able to now control the TV soundbar with the ATV remote. Reply here if this worked for you .
If the volume buttons on your Apple TV remote stop working - Apple Support
Apple TV 4K
Just hold down the TV button and Volume down buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds and that should reset the Siri Remote and will fix the IR programming of the volume buttons.
ps- I wish I would’ve known the buttons to press for a restart!?! I spent two days trouble shooting the volume control feature! Mine quit working after my phone connected and wanted to be a remote control for the Apple TV. Lesson learned.

This actually did not work
This worked the first several times but now it’s not.
So for me the solution after messaging with an Apple tech was to factory reset the Apple TV and it started working fine. It’s a cruddy work around but it’s been about three weeks and no problems since then, everything is working as it should.
Not a fix for me
Thank you!!!!!
same exact problem and none of these fixes are working…so annoying
Thank you it worked!
Cindi40, you Rock! Worked just as you as you described, and bless you for sharing!!
Thank you so much op, this problem has been annoying me for weeks with me thinking it was either an iOS update or soundbar firmware update that had broken something, and it’s now working as it should again 👍
This worked like a charm. Thank you.
Worked 100% thank you!
