Beam - Swittch to TV Sound without Alexa or App

Hi, Just got the beam this weekend and when my kids go to watch TV, often the sound has been switched to music on the beam. I know that you can ask Alexa to change it back to TV, but I am not planning on using Alexa, I do not like Alexa.

Also my kids don't use the App, so I have to manually change it back for them every time.

One thread said you can just hit volume up or down on the TV Remote and it will kick in but that didn't work for me.

Any other suggestions?

    I'm with Chris here. Turning the TV up or down wouldn't make a difference, but turning it off and on should tickle the "autoplay" function, and switch the Beam back to the TV input.
