HDMI CEC Audio not working

by ImageMan

I just got a 65" Vizio E-Series., HDMI CEC is turned on and works for turning the whole system on (TV turns on when I use the remote) but not audio (turned on as well on the shield). I had this same problem with my old TV but I thought it was just that TV being really old. Anyone get it to control the TVs volume?

I have the same issue, Shield remote was able to wake up the TV, but it can't control the volume, even though there is a setting specifically to control volume through CEC (which I turned on obviously).

I eventually turned the CEC off coz

  • I need the TV Remote to turn off the TV and control its volume anyway.
  • I've added my Bluetooth speakers (Moto Stream + M-Audio Bookshelf) as an accessory, so I can use it "Cast" music without the need to turn on the TV and it won't drain my phone battery. If CEC is ON, turning off the TV turns off the Shield.

What do you mean it doesn't work for Audio? HDMI-CEC just sends commands to the TV. Audio goes through HDMI, but it's not CEC.

Do you mean that you have a separate audio system that is somehow connected to the Shield and/or the TV? Need more details here.

Are you saying your entire system turns on when you press a button on your android tv remote / controller? If yes, I've not been able to do this. The only time I have had CEC control over the android tv box (nvidia shield) was when I power the TV off / on from the actual TV remote. Can you confirm?
