Adjusting Playbar Volume with Directv Remote (LG OLED55C7P)

With my previous Samsung television, I was able to control the volume of the Playbar with my Directv remote. I now have an LG OLED55C7P with the same Playbar and same Directv remote, but I cannot get the remote to control the volume. Has anyone figured out a way to fix this so I don't have to use my phone to control the volume?

Have you tried this:

Edit: Sorry, I somehow mixed up your Directv Remote request with LG remote. Do you have the "RC73" remote? (See this link: https://www.weaknees.com/directv-universal-remote.php)

I've got that working with my LG OLED. If so, I'll check what steps I used and post.
Yes, I have the RC73. Since my previous post, my wife actually picked up a different RC73 that was laying in the room (it was being used for a tv in a different room) and randomly discovered it could control the Sonos. So I could just program that remote to control the tv and call it a day, but if you have steps I could try on the other remote that may be good to know for future reference as well.

Ignore the below update. I finally figured it out.

Update: I took the remote that was successfully changing the volume on the Playbar, and tried to program it to control the LG tv. Now that remote will no longer control the volume on the Playbar. Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Having to change the volume using my phone is far from ideal.
Has anyone found a fix for using a directv remote to control the sound on Sonos??
