Connecting sky Q IR remote to Bose Solo Series ii

[rotherhammad]

Hi,

TV recently died on us so we were forced to get a new TV (Samsung UE65CU800).

We decided to upgrade our soundbar from phillips to a Bose Solo Soundbar Series II.

Weve got the old IR Sky Q remote and the newer Bluetooth one both connected to the TV, but when I try to connect to the soundbar, the Bluetooth connected up quickly but for the life of me I cant get the older IR to connect to the soundbar.

From googling, the soundbar has definitely got a IR sensor but the model isn't listed and the 12 codes it provided all didn't get it working.

So I'm here on bended knee hoping someone has a code or a workaround so I control the volume with the IR remote.

Is the soundbar connected via HDMI?

If you can use HDMI then you should be able to use CEC to control the volume via the TV.
