I have a last gen Apple TV 4K running through a Sony 950H with a sonos beam for surround. This setup is new, but I wasn’t seeing this issue earlier. Basically, if I use the tv remote to change the volume, the volume shows on screen. If I use the Apple TV remote, the volume still changes, but there is no indication on the volume level (or the change) on screen.
is anyone familiar with this issue?
thanks
I should add, if I restart the Apple TV (and nothing else), volume indicator is present on screen again

The Apple TV Remote sends volume control signals directly to the soundbar or TV. The Apple TV box doesn’t overlay a volume indicator ever. That is between your TV and the soundbar. The soundbar may not send visual information back to the TV.
I honestly think it is the timing during the boot up of the different devices. It’s just odd (and a little inconvenient), that the handoff is getting lost somewhere. It is still controlling the volume, just no visual indication. Using the TV remote, visual indication is present. I would just switch to the TV remote for everything, but it I can’t figure out how to make it wake the Apple TV (all other functions work) when I hit the power button. But that is another issue in itself.
Why is my Apple TV not showing volume control using apple remote?
