Always when I change volume of tv by my tv remote control it appears text on tv: "the volume of the sound is constant" + warning sign. It is just annoying
Question
a warning text appears always on tv when I change the level of sound volume: "the volume level is constant". its annoying zI have Sonos Ray sounbar..
It can be aggravating we never found a setting in our TV that let us disable that message. Added to the desire to replace the TV with a less aggravating one.
Post the brand and model of your TV and maybe someone will have a fix for it.
Sonos doesn’t have any control over what appears on the TV. The Ray works via optical, so there is no feedback from the Sonos Ray to the TV set, it is merely accepting input from the optical port, and using the IR commands from the remote to control volume.
You may be able to get better information from the TV’s customer service folks, they may have run into this issue with other optical connected soundbars.

That’s been and issue with optical output on some TV’s as far back as I can remember. That’s pretty far back 😂.
Check with the TV manufacturer and make sure the optical volume output is set to “variable”. Usually a setting in the sound menu. In some older sets it may have been a physical switch at the rear.
The solution is to decouple the volume on the remote with the TV. Often this is done by choosing another device, a Sonos soundbar if that is a choice, or a receiver - Onkyo, Denon, etc., for the volume control. Then retrain the Sonos Ray to use that volume command rather than the TV. That way, the remote will be sending a different volume signal that the TV will not mistake for its own commands.
Agreed, often the challenge is the TV remote may not allow that. We’ll have to see. One would hope the TV manufacturer’s CS might help, since it really isn’t a Sonos issue, per se.

True. If the OP can list the make/model of TV, we could possibly give them a hint on how to set the volume to something different.
Is there any output from the TV speakers? I expect there is none. In this case you might be able to train the TV and other IR remotes to control an arbitrary A/V system Volume, then configure RAY to respond to these arbitrary Volume commands.
+18Best not to use the digital volume control on the TV. You lose resolution as the volume lowers. Use the Sonos volume.
