    Controlling AV equipment: Volume through TV instead of receiver


    I have my Xbox One configured to turn on/off all of my equipment. I currently have the Xbox One plugged into my Yamaha receiver through HDMI, which is plugged into my Samsung TV through HDMI. I only use the receiver as an HDMI switcher and pass through
    the audio to the TV to output through its speakers. My volume is controlled by the TV instead of the receiver. When I say "Xbox, Volume UP" or "Xbox, Mute" the command is sent to the receiver instead of the TV. Is there any way to change what device receives
    volume commands? I can remove the receiver from known devices, but then it does not turn on/off with the Xbox. It seems that as soon as I configure the Xbox to know my receiver, it assumes that I want the receiver to control my volume settings.

    :)

    Setup with AV Receiver

    So currently I have an AV Receiver in my Home Theater setup. Will that work with X1?

    Right now Xbox 360, BluRay and DirectTv plug into AV Receiver via HDMI and 1 HDMI cable runs behind wall to TV.

    With X1 I expect to have setup as follows:

    X1 and Xbox 360 plug into AV Receiver.

    DirecTv box plugs into X1.

    Dont need Blu-Ray any longer so will move to another TV.

    Will this work? Will X1 be able to control the AV Receiver and TV? When I say "Xbox, On" will it turn on the X1, TV and AV Receiver? When I say "Xbox, Raise Volume" will the X1 raise the volume on the AV Receiver?

    Xbox One Controller Volume Control

    Feedback site is at Xbox Ideas, powered by UserVoice

    And Kinect already controls volume on the device of one's choosing - TV or AV Receiver.

    Xbox One S is changing the TV port

    There is a setting for selecting source on the xbox. Under start up behaviour and also control AV/TV that can cause this.

    I had it when I set the xbox to be able to control the TV with the xbox remote/IR thing.

    I just turned off the auto switch to TV setting, and the ability to control AV equipment and it stopped happening.

    Xbox One and Sonos Play Bar - Voice Control for the volume

    No, it can't. I was searching the forum to see if anyone knew when it would be added to the device list. It is not listed as a TV or an Audio receiver. Currently the Xbox tries to adjust the volume on my Epson projector, which is listed as the TV for power
    control, instead of adjusting the volume on the optical port where the Sonos is plugged in. There is also currently no Sonos app for the Xbox. So, I am stuck controlling just the sonos with my phone or a separate remote to control volume. It sure would be
    nice to get this added to the list to either be controllable with an IR extender or through the optical port.

    Xbox One with Denon Receiver?

    Uh, it won't do that. "It can control the following devices and functions:

    Television: on/off, volume up/down and mute

    Cable or satellite receiver: on/off, channel selection (in supported regions)

    Audio-video (AV) receiver: on/off, volume up/down and mute"

    HDMI pass-through, do you use it? And do you want it on Series X?

    I don't use the HDMI pass-through. However I do use the IR Blaster every day which would be a shame to lose out on. One voice command and my tv, av, xbox all come on or turn off. Or volume up/down/mute is also used alot which controls my av
