apple tv 4k 5th generation remote controlling sonos playbar volume
the sonos instructions to use the apple tv 4th generation remote to control volume on the playbar don't seem to work with the new 4k 5th generation apple tv. has anyone gotten the remote to work to control the volume on the playbar (without also turning up the volume on the tv itself)??
got it to work. had to manually set the apple tv 4k to "control receiver by ir", rather than auto. when i went through the sonos remote setup, i had to use another controller for the "mute" button part, as the siri remote does not have a mute button.
@ james

thx for your anwswer :wink:

so in apple tv 4k i changed from 4k 60mhz hdr to >> 4k 60mhz sdr and now it works nice!

i think it’s because my samsung tv only has a 8 bit panel…so hdr doesn’t work well :frowning: but in the settings, apple tv say’s hdr should be work… you need to add an external speaker selector and connect it to the front speaker connection on the receiver. set the receiver to stereo.
when you play them all together one pair may be too loud so you can connect an external speaker level volume control to the pair that are too loud. that can go in the remote location if needed. you can also get the speaker selector with volume 
controls built in.

thank you for your interest in the kd75x750h tv. unfortunately, apple airplay is not supported on the tv. however, you can add an apple tv external device thru hdmi connection in able to access this feature. for more details on what are tv models that can support apple tv app, please open this link https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-lcd-tvs-android-/kd-65x750h/articles/00227059

[View solution in original post](/t5/Discussions/Onn-Roku-Soundbar-question-WalMart/m-p/520740#M204) motherboard - optical s/pdif out port(s) at back panel
dvd player - appears to have no audio input
speakers - do they have an s/pdif input?

so it appears you don't have the right things to connect to the other right things.

thanks for prompt reply,
ok leave the dvd aside and tell me that can't my mother board act as an amplifier or receiver as my mother board is new and it has the best inbuilt realtek® alc892 8-channel sound card?
one more thing tell me a best solution to make 5.1 surround system with these speakers.

the motherboard audio does not have an amplifier in it to drive speakers, the speakers have the amp in them. and that motherboard is capable of 5.1 sound, it's an 8-channel sound card in fact. what exactly are you having issues with? read the manual to the motherboard and the speakers, between those it should tell you what you need to do. Unfortunately, your suggestions are not practical. I already know that batteries are not an issue. I am not going to go and change broadcast frequency or anything else in my router. I have many wireless devices at home, and they are working flawlessly. I think Roku has a bad product here.

For anyone else who is reading this, the only thing worked for me is the following (although not most convenient). Roku has an App for iPhone. Download that app and use it as a remote control. And the app has wireless Bluetooth option. Then you can use your Bluetooth headphones. Static is gone.




[View solution in original post](/t5/Remotes-Accessories/Ultra-remote-headphone-audio-issues/m-p/541382#M24702) someone had the same problem before but they miss out the new windows update permissions for the microphone so try going to the settings > privacy and go to the microphone section and try turning on also the "allows apps to use microphone" under the 1st microphone access option for device.. so basically just try to turn both permissions on and see if that works. this is apparently due to the new airplay functionality. control center stops listening to those ports when i turn off “airplay receiver” in the “sharing” system preference: 7.0.3 is now available! :raised\_hands:

switch between modern and classic views on apple tv, remote control improvements, option to hide titles, and more.
