Good afternoon

First, make sure your Xbox One is connected to your TV via HDMI.

Next, connect your Bose Soundbar to your TV using an HDMI cable.

On your Sharp TV, go to the audio settings menu and select "HDMI Audio Output."

Select the HDMI port to which your Bose Soundbar is connected.

Once the HDMI connection is established, the audio from your Xbox One should be routed through your TV and into your Soundbar.

Now, you should be able to control the volume of your Bose Soundbar using your Xbox One remote.

Thank you Anderson.

I have confirmed that my Xbox One is connected thru via HDMI (#3).

My Bose Sound Bar is connected thru HDMI (#1)

I also have an Amazon Fire stick connected via HDMI (#4). the remote control for that device works perfectly.

My Tv is using Aquos Link

When I use the volume control on my Xbox remote, this message pops up.

"Set up device control to adjust Tv Audio"

I have a Vizio soundbar connected to my TV. I ran the Audio Receiver Setup on the Xbox One and now the X1 powers on/off the soundbar along with my entire TV/DVR system.

As for volume control, if you've ran the Audio Receiver Setup then you can control the Soundbar via either voice commands or the Xbox One Smartglass App (the volume controls on Smartglass will no longer control the TV volume, however, as they'll become dedicated
to the soundbar--I presume the same may be me true for voice commands).

I also have my soundbar hooked up thru an optical cord to my Xbox1, with a subwoofer running thru the soundbar. I have been unable to get voice commands to work to control volume but the sound does play, but I must use the soundbar remote to change the volume.
Which is a little disappointing!!

Some more information:

If I remove my Sony soundbar from my device list on my One, the Media Remote controls the TV volume flawlessly. It also controls the cable box flawlessly. So it's some sort of issue with the soundbar.

Smart Glass works great and my soundbar turns on and off with my system without fail, so I know the IR blaster works and is set properly for it.

But when I try and specifically control me soundbar with my media remote, it only works in strange places in the room. Within 5 feet or past 15, or up against the wall in front of the receiver.

It sounds like the Kinect IR signals are being interfered with somehow by the remote IR signals..
