Hi, Just wondering is someone has the answer to this ??

I’ve just put my Sonos first gen in my bedroom & set it on a new Samsung tv & connected to optical cable & I can’t control volume on tv on the tv control. I done some digging & it seems that it’s not possible to control volume on tv control. Anyone found a away round it ??. I’m happy to use my phone but the Mrs my struggle 😂. Thanks for your time. Tony

No, the CONNECT: AMP has no IR receiver in it, you’d need to use a controller on a device to change the volume.

However! The CONNECT: Amp also does not have optical. So maybe you have some other device? Maybe a PLAYBAR or PLAYBASE, both of which do have IR receivers, and can be ‘trained’ to recognize the TV remote?

What device do you mean when you say “amp 1st gen”? Do you mean the Connect:amp (of which there is a Gen 1 and a Gen 2) or it’s successor the Amp (of which there is only one generation)?

If you are using an Amp it can be taught to listen to the Samsung remote: https://support.sonos.com/article/use-a-samsung-one-remote-with-sonos-home-theater-speakers
