Thanks Briansyddall... unfortunately not what I was asking about.


I am asking about volume control with the following setup:


Apple TV 4th generation connected to AirPlay speakers via wi-fi. In previous iterations (ATV2 and ATV3) the only way to reach the volume control us such setup was going to the Language-Subtitles-Audio menu while playing and under the 'Audio`tab selecting the speakers and controlling the volume... too cumbersome really... I just wanted to know if Apple solved that issue.


Anyone having an ATV 4th gen and AirPlay speakers that could check for me please?


Thnx!

I'm having exactly this issue: Apple TV 4 + separate speakers connected via AirPlay and WiFi.

  1. Using the plus/minus buttons on the remote has no effect.
  2. The only way I found to adjust the volume via Apple TV is through the settings menu.


This is my first Apple TV and I thought it was some kind of early bug with the new generation. But hearing that this issue has already been present in earlier generations is embarrassing.
