Apple TV remote keeps needing to be reset (lemmy.radio)

My search has been without results.

My "new" model remote with a Siri button keeps needing to be reset to control my infrared amplifier. Press and hold the Volume Down and TV button works, but it's annoying when you want to change the volume whilst watching something and it doesn't respond.

Firmware version is 0x83.

Anyone got any ideas what might be causing this?

Does your amp support CEC? If so, you could make sure it is turned on for both ATV and the amp and just use the “HDMI” setting in the ATV settings.

Also, just to confirm—in the ATV’s remote>volume control settings, do you have it set to control the receiver via IR?

The amplifier is not connected via HDMI and does not support CEC.

The ATV is configured to use IR to control the amplifier.

I’ve noticed this happens when I click volume up or down repeatedly a lot of times in rapid succession instead of just holding the button down. It hasn’t happened to me since I’ve tried to be conscientious about it, but ymmv.
