Sky Q through TV speakers & Alexa Studio

[152bobby]

I'm trying to get my LG TV, Sky Q and my Alexa Echo Studio to play the sound simultaneously.

I have the correct cable from the Echo Studio to the Sky Main Box optical input, but the volume button on the Sky remote only does the volume on the TV and the Echo studio stays at the same volume. I also tried doing it from the Echo Studio direct to the TVs Optical input (for this option, I have to change the sound settings on the TV from TV speakers to Optical out).  I prefer to do this direct to the Sky Q box optical input.  Any ideas on how to get both the TV speakers and the Echo Studio to work together using the sky Q remote volume buttons?

I have connected the Alexa echo studio speaker to the sky main recording box.  The TV audio is coming through the Echo Studio, but the sky remote does not control the volume at all, when I press the volume controls, a circle with a line through it icon shows on the TV, not the Mute icon.

Surely someone out there has successfully done this !!

hi @152bobby 

The SKY remote uses Infrared codes to control the sound on a TV or other audio source.

The IR codes can only be set to control one type of device.
