Spotty volume control reception / control between Arc and Amazon Firestick remote - only works upside down

Controlling volume on my Arc from my Amazon remote is often spotty, sometimes no reception.   I usually have to turn the remote upside down to get reception.  I have changed the batteries and re-paired often.  Re-pairing seems to help but only a short time (only a few hours) before reception degrades again. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  Any fixes?

Why use two threads for the problems you experience?

How does the Firestick remote change the volume? With ir or HDMI-CEC?

it does both IR and RF

We had an iffy Amazon remote a while back, fiddling with it usually got it working again but was a pain.

A replacement remote is only a couple bucks cheaper than a new firestick with a remote on Amazon.
