Using LG Magic Remote to control volume on Sonos Playbar and Playbase (2022 Update)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 жов 2024
- This video shows you which LG WebOS settings to change so that the LG Magic Remote can adjust the volume on your optical-connected (S/PDIF) Sonos Playbar and/or Sonos Playbase. I demonstrated the solution on a 2022 LG Evo OLED C2 with WebOS v7.2
If you have an older LG TV/remote reference my first video on this topic: • Getting LG Magic Remot...

Thank you! After nearly 2 yrs of frustration and trying to buy a physical remote compatible with the Sonos Beam 1, at last success! Such a convoluted process. The setup separately also on the app was a surprise.
Also anyone who cannot find Sonos listed as shown in the video....in their LG C1 OLED....you have to type the name sonos in the box filled ' English only' helpfully obscuring the text box!
Great addition to search for Sonos.
This was exactly what I was searching for. Thank you so much!
October 2024 and still works. Just bought an LG C4 and set up my remote/playbar. 1 or 2 slight differences with naming such as there’s no longer a “devices” menu it’s just “external devices” now.
Good, clear cut video. Much appreciated👍🏼
Omg so instead of LG and Sonon both simply giving clear instructions I had some come on youtube instead. Years of getting up throughout movies to turn it down at the loud parts!! Thanks so much!!
THANK YOU! You saved me A LOT of time and avoided what I expected to be disappointing and frustrating situation with this $2800 OLEG!!
2024 and I found this video and it got my remote connected! Thank you so much
Followed this and all seemed to work (had the right on screen vol indicators) but didn't work until I unplugged IR blaster from the tv - then worked perfectly. Thanks for the excellent video
THANKS!
Thanks a lot! The key for me was to put all different settings to right setup in right order. Additional comment: if Sonos brand is not listed in deviсe list (1:40) - try to enter "Sonos" to the search field and it will bring it from nowhere.
Was just having this issue! Thank you.
THANK YOU !!!!
Legend
Hell yeah, my buddy got the Sonos ray and couldn't figure out how to make it work, I found this video and we are now in audio heaven
Can’t believe I spent a year using two remotes. Thanks!
My dad spent a decade
Fantastic!! Sonos wasn’t in my list of manufacturers but just searching for it it popped up. So easy. Thank you.
This is probably the best Playbase /LG tutorial
What this guy said
This totally saved me! I was so frustrated until you solved my problem!
Thank you for making this video!!! I almost gave up hope that controlling the Sonos volume was possible. Bless you!
After a couple hours of frustration, your video had me up and running in 5 min…. Thank you!
So, I did all that. I get the volume up and down on the screen but my volume doesn't change...
Same with me. The sonos app wont recognize the LG remote as compatible
Thank you thank you thank you. I have two different LG TVs and used both your videos. Fantastic! So happy to have my Sonos working properly with my TV!
THANK YOU! This video solved my problem. The Remote now controls the volume settings on my Sonos soundbar. Again, thank you!
Thank you, This was super helpful to connect my Sonos TV to the new OLED TV. Solve my issue thanks to your video
Thank you sir. Just got mine tonight and your old video showed up first. Glad you’re on it with a new video.
Yup it’s been needing an upgrade … glad you caught it
Solved my issue! Thank you! Sonos needs to update their LG magic remote support page for the newer LG software
Ahh Thank You so very much, I had it worked for severeal months, than it stopped working. with your exellent instructions it works again. Thank you so very much! But, My TV did not have Sonos , so i had to search for Sonos, and the system found it. So happy!
Thank you! The second half of the set up with the sonos controller was what was missing. Weird too because it was working fine until 2 days ago when it suddenly stopped working.
Thank you so much. That is awesome. It works. I called Sonos. No luck. You are the man.🙏
Thank you.!! I don't leave many comments but you have been a great help
Omg!! Thank you. No issues with my Sony...new LG and thought I went back in time. Sooo😊 happy❤
Thank you Ravin Brin = I have a LGC2 and updated to latest software but sonos not listed - but entering it on "English only" worked perfectly. Spend a couple of hour before seeing your post. Thanks again
Thanks for this updated information. Solved my connection issue.
Thanks so much. Followed your onstruction to a T and was so happy to resolve the problem. Sonos needs to some how simplify the connectivity. Thanks again😅
Glad it helped!
Dude 😅 many thanks. Finally, I can use my Lg C3 sound through optical with the magic remote 😂😂😂
Thank my dad. His relentless complaining forced my hand - he said it couldn’t be done
Thanks! I just got a LG Qned 55 inch tv. But got a samsung soundbar. I couldnt controle it with the tv remote. But thanks to you I now can! Thanks alot!
You want to hear something funny / cool.
LG Support actually uses your 2020 version of this video as reference to people, lol.
I have a 2022 LG G2 along with a Sonos Arc.
And for the life of me can’t figure out a way to make the magic remote control the volume on the Sonos Arc. Other than that, everything works perfectly fine.
So i called LG support to ask for some guidance, maybe i was missing something.
After speaking to them for an hour & trying various troubleshooting, they gave up and just told me to call Sonos Support instead. However before hanging up they emailed me a two links. 1 was instructions from their website to try and fix the problem. The other was a link to your video & to follow your steps lmao 😂.
I thought that was cool but I had to explain to them this doesn’t work for me.
1. LG has a new operating system.
2. I want to utilize eARC (not optical)
Both Sonos & LG support couldn’t help so I just gave up and use my Nvidia Shield remote to control the volume.
Sounds like another video.
You might try this other video I made Bose Soundbar 700 Not Playing Sound? Two Fixes.

Thanks a lot, I followed the procedure and it worked perfectly !
Works for my 2024 LG C4
Thank you!
Excellent tuition - thank you so much. I was on the point of giving up. All sorted and much relieved
Thank you so much. Can confirm it worked for me (I was getting frustrated with the process). Thank you for saving the day.
👊
Make sure to remove The IR that comes with your tv - voila. Thanks for the video!!
This was perfect for my C3!
Thank you! Most other instructions were out of date
Thank u for this content man. I was having an issue with this two brands and now it’s working 🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅
Glad it helped
God bless you for making that video. Awesome.
One zillion thanks!
Thank you so much. This was killing me!
Thank you sooo much! The last piece of the puzzle for me!
Thankyou so much.
I like that you bullet point your instructions. Very helpful without all the nonsense talk. Good job mate. You are a great teacher😊
Brilliant. Thanks so much. It would have taken me months !!!!
They don't make it easy! Thanks for this. Huge help.
Perfect. Thank you
Glad it helped!
Thanks mate, very straightforward and solved the issue!
My old magic remote worked great but my toddler hid it god knows where and I had to buy a replacement. The replacement does not work with my sonos. I set it up exactly like you showed but the IR repeater function is grayed out on my sonos app. I still have my xfinity remote which controls the sonos but still super annoying.
This is really helpful. Thank you 😉
Glad it helped!
Hi, thanks didn't see Sonos in the menu ? But once I did the search it worked great.
Many thanks 👍
perfect ! run on my LG OLED CS55 :) thank you so much
Thank you! Perfect explanation
Amazing man, thank you so much for the help!
Extremely helpful! Exactly what fixed my problem. Thank you.
Thank you! Short and to the point!
Lifesaver 👌🏻
My hero!!!!!
Thank you for the tip!
Hey! Thanks ALOT for your video! Unfortunately, I still wasn't able to configure the playbar since Sonos was not part of the vendor list - I had to search for sonos to get the option selection menu. I wouldn't have searched for it if you hadn't shown that it is possible ;-)
You’re a king dude !
The sonos app will not recognize the LG remote as a compatible device. Please help i have to use 2 separate remotes to watch tv and its wild
Thanks a lot for sharing this sir. I was already getting angry at myself, but you saved the day.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😊
Glad it helped 🙂
Thank you very much for an excellent video. I did have to search for Sonos manually as it wasn’t there, but it did find it. Problem solved!😊
How did you do that?
@@rehanasvideos when you get to the select brand page, I’m pretty sure there was an option to enter your own manually.
@@nobby21165 just worked it out. It says something like enter in English above when you click that button you can type it in
2018 model doesnt seem to have Universal Control Settings!
So I did all of this, and I get the. + / - input but the audio levels won’t change, when I go to set up the remote in the Sonos App, it won’t detect the remote.
IR is on and the repeater is on.
Am I missing anything? I’m getting base level sound on the tv, I just can’t control the volume.
Yeah, sorry I suspect if I was there I could probably figure it out but seems like there are probably too many unknowns for me to direct you properly. All I can say is reset the volume control settings and add a new remote to Sonos. I’m curious if the + and - you are receiving is associated with changes in the volume bar in the Sonos app …?
Having the same issue
This does not work for me, the plus minus is there but the volume only work when the tv is off. The ir repeater option is greyed out and I cannot turn it on. Any ideas? Super frustrated with SONOS
Did you try my other video - link at the end of this video
@@neverenoughtech I figured it out, I had the IR blaster cable plugged in and had to remove it.
You are a genius thanks.
Very good !! Thanks !
Thank you!
Living Legend!
Brilliant, thanks very much.
Glad it worked out!
hello, thanks for your video. i have a question, if you would be willing to give me some direction. I have a new (LG OLED 65 in) tv, and followed your directions and everything works just as you say. At the 2 minute mark of your video, I also get the "+' and ( -) icons on the right of the screen...so everything looks perfect. but at this point when i push the plus and minus on the remote, the icons "blink" on the tv, but nothing happens to the volume. the playbar does not responde to the up or down on the remote. I don't get it. any thoughts? thanks
Hard to advise if I’m not there. Did you set up the remote on the Sonos side? Which would prompt Sonos to look for the signal?
Thanks it's very good for me
Awesome!
So how do you get the remote to control a new Sonos speaker that’s been added to the existing speakers. I’ve added a 300 Era. The LG remote has no control over the new speaker. I’m not sure if it’s because the new speaker was not added to an existing room. The only way I could add the speaker was by creating a group with 2 rooms. Thx.
If the system volume is not not controlling the era300s - since you would be using Arc/eARC all I can suggest is perhaps unplugging and rep logging the HDMI cable … and power cycling the tv and Sonos system. Would be my first trouble shooting steps … you will not be able to adjust the volume separately - with the remote bit you can set a general relative volume of the rears to the system in settings where you asked to adjust tv and music rears levels in the surround audio list item
Mi héroe ❤❤❤❤
Thanks!!!
Thank you so much 🎉
Thank you very much for this video cuz help me a lot. Jehová bless you and all your family. Keep up with this amazing videos
I have a 2021 LG OLED C1 tv and I just got a new Sonos Beam Gen 2 sound bar. I connected them with HDMI ARC (which is HDMI2 on LG TV). The sound is great but the Magic Remote for the LG doesn’t control volume on the Sonos Beam 2 ! Beyond frustrating and I don’t want to admit how long I’ve spent trying to get volume to work. Should I give up and buy a separate remove to control Sonos sound or can someone get these to work?!
Tusind tak det virkede helt fint med hilsen fra Danmark med ønske om en god jul og godt nytår
Not working for a playbase and LG OLED 2022 - any other helpful tips of settings I can play around with?
Try Philips instead of Sonos … that’s what I recommended in my first video before the Sonos option
Yep I’ve been using my LG remote to control the volume.
Are you also able to turn on/off the sound bar with the magic remote when you turn on the TV? That's what I'm really after with my non Sono bar and am striking out.
Sonos bars don’t really turn off - they stay on stand by
I get to the Universal Control setting page but selecting "manage" I get a message that says "This feature is only available with Magic Remote". I have a magic remote...any idea? I've googled with no luck
My next steps would be unplug the tv and remove and replace the batteries in the remote
this must not work with a GE universal remote cause when i try to get pass universal control settings it just says it requires a magic remote :(
Is the process also the same if you're connected through HDMI Arc? It didn't go through my first time trying...
HDMI connections are typically more automatic … right away the Arc should be recognized and controllable with the TV remote
Thanks brother 🙏
Glad it helped!
I cant choose sonos at my optical sound options. Only Bose, Denon, Harman, LG, Marantz, Onkyo, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Samsung, Sony, Yamaha…
Help!!!
Don’t know what year tv … try Philips … that was there suggestion on my original video on this before Sonos was an option
@@neverenoughtech hey, thanks for your answer. It is an LG 65QNED916QE got it yesterday. 2022 Model. Tryed every brand, nothing works. The „no audio“ Sign Pops when i press the volume buttons after Changing to optical and Tryed the Brands. But via sonos app i cant install a new Remote, app always say cant detect new Remote. From my old tv Panasonic with IR Remote there Wasnt a Problem.
Am I the only one where this still doesn't work? what else can I do? Yours has Sonos in the list, I have to look for it. could that be the problem? I hope you read this and know a solution. I see the plus and minus icon on the screen, but when I connect it in the Sonos app, I press + but it does not find a remote control. Pleassss help
Manually search for Sonos
Thanks you, kind sir.
Glad it helped
Nice! 🎉
How about sony a80k oled tv with playbar?
I’ve followed all of the instructions, but despite getting the + and - volume buttons on screen, the volume itself still isn’t changing. Is there anything else I could try?
There are a lot of little increments in the volume how many times have you pressed the volume button. Have you confirmed the volume is not changing on the app side?
@@neverenoughtech Definitely no change :(
Thank you
I can’t toggle on IR repeater in Sonia app (it won’t let me). I get the volume control buttons but still no sound aargh!
What model year is your tv?
@@neverenoughtech it’s an OLED CS series only purchased less than a year ago..
Does someone in here know why my game optimiser setting and HDMI Deep Colour is greyed out, cant click on Them
Thx
❤❤❤❤❤
