Control Your Bluetooth Soundbar, Headphone, or Speaker Volume With Your Amazon Fire TV Remote

[@DJsTutorials]

The Fire TV Stick 4K (1st-gen) finally supports this new capability as of 10/20/2022.

[@PritamMohanty007]

That’s quite ridiculous.. I’ve been waiting for an update for my 4K remote for so long. So annoying. Anyways thanks for the updates. You have been so helpful as always.

Wish I had read this before I downgraded to the 3rd generation 😭😭😭 #Return

[@adrianozzz]

I'm about to buy the 4k Stick (not Max), but it also says it's 3rd gen in the ad. That's the version you're saying that supports bt vol control?

[@DJsTutorials]

@@adrianozzz If it says it's the 3rd-Gen Fire TV Stick, then that is not the 4K one. The 4K Stick and the 4K Max are both 1st-Gen. Either way, they will support BT volume control but not all brands/models. Some brands/models are not compatible with the Fire Sticks.

[@sandyklegman4276]

2nd gen has no volume control for ear buds..damn

[@Thackula]

Thanks for the video. I have the Fire tv stick (2nd Gen) and volume doesn’t work. I updated to OS 5.2.8.4 and it says it’s up to date now but no volume. Am I doing it wrong? Or do I need a different fire stick?

[@DJsTutorials]

No you are not doing anything wrong. Some devices are not able to be controlled with the 2nd gen Fire Stick for some reason. I have a JBL Bluetooth speaker that I can control the volume with my 4K Stick and 4K Max but not with the 2nd gen Fire Stick.

Hey DJ, I just have same problem, i have Normal Fire Tv stick and a soundbar over Bluetooth, the soundbar doesn't have a seperate remote so one has to stand up and do that by buttons on it. This method I thought would work but doesn't work. It should that remote is increasing/decreasing the volume but sound bar is on max. So, that means my firetv stick normal not 4k doesn't support the same? Lemme know thanks alot. I can confirm the Exact OS version and firestick gen if you want. Help

Which Fire TV Stick are you using and what kind of soundbar do you have?

@@siddharthgupta219 The 2nd gen Fire Stick does not support this capability. Since your TV does not support an Optical connection as you stated in a previous comment, there's not that many options here other than buying a new Fire Stick which will be the cheapest option.

That you may have to disable Navigation Sounds in order to stop it. You can do that by going to Settings > Display & Sounds > Audio > and click on Navigation Sounds once.

I've got the 2rd generation 4K Max and the volume on the Bluetooth only goes up to 15, can you help?

[@DJsTutorials]

You may need to raise the volume on your TV first and then raise the volume on your Bluetooth device.

[@justme-wm1ol]

@@DJsTutorials tried all of that, it's as if the Bluetooth on the stick takes completely over and only gives you 15

[@justme-wm1ol]

@@DJsTutorials okay like when I'm watching TV and I put on my Bluetooth earpieces it only goes up to 15. If I hook a speaker up to it through bluetooth again it only goes up to 15 and that's using the remote. I can't even using the pieces on volume did the earpieces or speaker. 15. When I use my older fire stick, it goes as loud as I want it

[@DJsTutorials]

@justme-wm1ol That's very interesting. I will have to try it out and see if it does it for me as well. Will let you know if I find a solution for you.

[@rowdy1835]

That's awesome, ive been trying to add storage to the 4k i have and its been giving me hell, iv spent more money trying to add storage than i spent on the firestick, an i still haven't accomplished anything but have a wired internet connection.

Fire tv stick 4k on may 2022 still doesn't have it! 😭 I'm using a Soundbar creative stage v2

[@DJsTutorials]

Yeah I know! I bet they are doing that so people go buy the 4K Max. Personally, I wouldn't use the Bluetooth connection. You will get better sound using the HDMI ARC or Optical connection and you should be able to control the volume and power of the soundbar using the 4K Stick remote.

My firestick is an old model and does not have sound control. How do I do this without buying another firestick?

[@DJsTutorials]

Sorry but you can't. In order to be able to control the volume, you need the volume controls. I would say wait for either the 3rd-gen Fire Stick to go on sale or one of the 4K Stick/Max.

[@lilaloves]

how do I listen to my soundbar that is connected via bluetooth to my anazon firestick with just the headphones and not hear the audio from the soundbar at the same time?

[@DJsTutorials]

That easiest way will be to turn of the soundbar when you want to use your headphones.

[@manoj35871]

though I have volume bottom and also got update still can't control bluettoh devices using volume buttom

[@DJsTutorials]

It may have to do with the Bluetooth device that you have is not compatible with the Fire Stick. Not all devices work with it unfortunately.

[@arif3476]

Has fire Tv stick 4K got the volume control for bluetooth devices?

[@DJsTutorials]

No not yet

[@DJsTutorials]

I believe it has to do with the OS version. The ones that it works with are OS 7 and the 4K Stick is OS 6. If I am correct then the 4K Stick will not get that option.

[@DJsTutorials]

That doesn't make any sense what Amazon said. The Cube has Dolby Atmos and it works.

If you are referring to the 4K stick, that will be from Amazon if they decide to update it. No other way around it.

Thank you Lisa, I really appreciate your support and the sub to my channel! No, nothing yet and honestly, I think Amazon will not bring that option to the 4K stick. That way people will go buy the new 4K Max instead. But then again we can only hope that is not the case and some day the 4K stick will be able to control the Bluetooth volume like the 4K Max. If that day ever comes I will post it in the description and comment section for people to see. Thank you again!

I can't say much about the Realme TV Stick since it's a brand new device that is going to be released soon in India and not here in the US. The specs for the Realme Stick look good and it runs Google TV OS which some people love it and others hate it. If you want to compare the Realme Stick with another device, compare it with the new Fire TV Stick 4K Max that has 2GB RAM & 8 GB storage, but I don't know if it is available in India or what other devices are available there so I can recommend any other device (I assume you are from India, correct me if I'm wrong).

Not sure if it's the Cube not compatible with Xiaomi or Xiaomi not compatible with the Cube. So when you paired the Xiaomi Buds to the Cube you can hear the audio from the buds and the TV or just the buds? I paired my Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro to the Cube and it worked fine. I'm on software version 7.2.7.9. If the buds are paired to your phone, try turning off the Bluetooth from your phone and then pair the buds to the Cube and see if that helps.
