iPhone remote app no volume control

So I updated to iOS 16 and can no longer control my Apple TV‘s volume using the iPhone remote app. My Onkyo stereo system worked with the remote for years. Now it simply doesn’t work. There are no volume icons that appear when using the remote app. Example pressing the up or down buttons only shows the phones volume not the Apple TV volume. The stereo is set up correctly in Apple TV.



iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

This broke in tvOS 16 but there's a workaround. If you hold down the side button on the iPhone while using the Remote app to invoke Siri, the volume buttons will start working again.
