set_volume does not work

[saschaeggi]

I can't set the Volume using set_volume

My setup: Samsung UE65MU7000 Series (2017 Model) Port 8002 Mac Address set

I have a UE65MU6102 and a UE43RU7412, both work fine with setting the volume.

Did you install the component recently? Did you accept all the pop-ups for giving permission? I've talked to many that missed the permission pop-ups (there can be many of them after first install) say their issues disappeared after 24 hours or so.

Regardless, here is my complete config (marked XXX to anonymise data):

I've just updated the component today. Got like 4 or 5 popups, accepted all of them. All other functions to work (turn TV on, turn TV off, volume up, down etc.)

@saschaeggi Do you still have issues setting volume?

Hey @jaruba yes I'm still unable to set the volume. Cheers

I just installed this and also can't control the volume.

The problem in my case is that I have is that I have the audio output set to my audio receiver, the samsung remote can control the volume of the receiver but setting the volume with home assistant does nothing.

If I switch the audio output to the tv itself the volume control works fine, but not really what I want.

For external audio output, you need to use ARC, see this discussion for more info: https://github.com/jaruba/ha-samsungtv-tizen/issues/72

Thanks @jaruba I haven't had time to fully explore all the details yet but saw this and thought it might be the same thing. I'll look into the ARC thing :)
