Apple TV OS 17 - Volume Control missing "TV Via IR" Option

I have been struggling for the past week getting the apple IR to work with Sonos. Using a universal remote setup with Sonos first, then learn the remote on Apple TV worked 100%. Glad I came across this thread!!!!

Hey darrenchou,

We'd recommend reviewing this article as you may need to turn eARC back on for your AppleTV after the update: Use HDMI ARC or eARC with your Apple TV 4K - Apple Support

"Turn on HDMI ARC or eARC

1. Set up your single or stereo pair of HomePod or HomePod mini speakers as the default speaker(s) for Apple TV. 
2. Go the Home screen on Apple TV and select Settings > Video and Audio > Audio Output. 
3. Under Default Audio Output, make sure that the room with HomePod or HomePod mini is selected. 
4. 
5. 
   
6. Under Audio Return Channel, select Play Television Audio. You'll know ARC or eARC is turned on when it says On (ARC) or On (eARC)."

Thanks!

Hi,

that does not work if you do not have a TV, but projector (beamer).

I have AppleTV 4K, projector and sobos arc connected via HDfury Arcana…and there is no CEC in play here.

Therefore, the IR is needed.

any way how to get it working at least on apple remote?
