No Volume Control on new Apple TV

Hit "up" two times to bring up "movie menu", then hold down "select", then navigate up and over to "speakers" tab, then down to your "AirPlay speakers", then move slider to right to increase volume :) DONE!! (Be sure to lower volume on your stereo first ;)

I have never expected such a poor product! I just bought the Apple TV3 and it is most probably going back ...

First the volume controll - This thing waked up the whole neighbourship simply because there is no volume controll build in - exept for the pause button ...

So i cannot adjust the apple tv volume to all the other devices i am using in the house. It is far to loud - if i switch from normal tv, Blue-Ray or other devices to Apple Tv - big annoyance!

What i am also missing is an Adio out - i surely dont want to listen to my music using a TV-Set. The whole optical out is a trade off.

The next thing is the home sharing ...

I can only choose a flat hierachy of folders - this is also really bad ... No wonder people are jailbraking and tweaking a good hardware because of the bad firmware.

No other connected device has volume control built in. You can send audio to other speakers via settings. Home-sharing is meant to work with iTunes.

my cable box has volume controll - forinstance and all the other devices don't come so loud. So if you google this issue you'll find quite a lot of people have expierienced similar. I agree - home-sharing is meant to work with itunes - still I have 14000 ⚠ photos and movies and with what homesharing in itues offers me I can't really say it works.

This is not a cale box, and it is the TV that regulates the volume. DVD players, BLU Ray, consoles etc. do not have volume control so not sure where the expectation is coming from. one can control volume when airplaying or home sharing via the remote app. I can't say I have ever had an issue with it being louder than other devices. If you are having an issue with home-sharing I would create a separate thread so it can be addressed properly.

The Apple TV does have a volume control, it's just buried in settings and not too easy to get to. Personally I need a volume control because I stream the audio to an Airport Express connected to speakers which don't have a remote control.

For what it's worth (and sorry if it's already been mentioned, I haven't looked through all nine pages), but I've just discovered that an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard paired with the Apple TV can control the volume.

There is no direct volume control. It is the audio source that controls the volume.

Well, the Apple TV is an audio source, and I have demonstrated two (2) ways in which the Apple TV's volume can be adjusted all by itself. Unless you know of some other mechanism whereby I push the little volume control on my bluetooth keyboard and things mysteriously get quieter.

No it's not, it's connected to the Tv or to an external speaker, which is the audio source.

Fine, whatever. Semantics. It makes noise signally stuff and its volume can be controlled without the help of another device.

Back'n my day, a 'source' was this place where stuff originated.

There is no internal audio capability. You are using airplay to stream the audio to your speakers, and you are controlling the speaker (not the ATV) which can also be done via remote app and was already stated.

As far as the setting on the device itself, please be specifc.

Push the option button while playing or paused on a video. From there I can control the volume of the audio stream. There's in fact a little blue level bar right there on the screen which goes left and right with the volume setting*. Maybe that just controlls the level streamed to Airport devices. It's just annoying that you have to pause to get to that option.

But it is not controlling the speaker. The speaker is a JBL Creature plugged into the Airport Express. The speakers have neither wifi nor bluetooth. So I'm curious how you think my bluetooth keyboard is not adjusting the audio levels streamed by the Apple TV.

Maybe it's telling the Apple TV to tell the Airport Express to change the volume...

* (Full disclosure, at the moment the remote app isn't actually moving the little blue level bar for me. It did the other day, and the bar certainly moves when I use the keyboard)

/Maybe it's telling the Apple TV to tell the Airport Express to change the volume.../

Well, heck, maybe that IS what it's doing. Using my video projector's internal speakers, receiving audio through HDMI, the bluetooth keyboard doesn't in fact do anything.

Huh. Apple is strange sometimes.

So I stand corrected, sort of. But again, for what it's worth, for those streaming to airport express, there is a volume control of sorts, in that it raises and lowers volume.

The airport express is using airplay and the speakers are connected to it, the remote app picks up the speakers and is then controlling the speaker volume. The Bluetooth keyboard's volume buttons will have no effect on Apple TV directly

Volume control via airplay had already been addressed

The thread had to do with having direct volume control, which isn't possible (and what you were trying to contest).

Whatever dude. Direct or not all I know is it works under the setup I've described. Honestly I don't care how or what gadget is doing it. Done here.
