Interesting. So you just installed the tvOS 9.1 update and your Siri remote started controlling the volume?
My Bluetooth/AirPlay speakers are:
JBL Authentics L8
My Bluetooth speakers/headsets are:
- Jawbone BIG JAMBOX
- Jaybird BlueBuds X
My Siri remote does not control the volume of any of those. I also tried with a factory restore but it did not help.
I was able to control the volume of my Bluetooth headphones prior to v9.1 as well via Siri Remote.
Seems perhaps heavily dependent on the Bluetooth hardware device you are using... Maybe the Bluetooth chipset?
My Jabra (BT v4) and Plantronics (BT v2) are fine. The cheapo Aukey units did not work w/ Siri Remote volume control - they also did not auto-connect when powered on. I don't have any AirPlay speakers available but I do have an AirPlay receiver app on my Windows PC that I can test out tonight.
The Jabra Move Bluetooth headphones are the primary paired wireless device for the ATV4. As soon as the Jabra Move are turned on, they auto-connect and everything just works. Power them off and audio is directed back to the Receiver/Amp automatically. Even my wife loves the simplicity of private TV listening.
I would suggest making an Apple Suggestion / Request via the Apple.com website. Send them the model numbers of the devices you are using. Maybe they will magically somehow add support in the future.
