Description

If you have an Android TV and a Sonos PlayBar connected via Optical cable this might be the app for you.

From my experience the Sonos PlayBar Volume is completely separate from the TV volume, sure it can be configured to respond to the infrared of the remote but the volume displayed on the TV is completely disconnected from the volume of the Sonos.

This app fixes this. When the TV volume changes it sends a command to your Sonos to update that volume.

Every TV is different so please, if you try the app and it works for you please let us know so we can add your TV model to the list of known devices. Thank you!

Confirmed working on the following devices
---
Sony KD55AG9
Sony XBR65X900H (X900H)
Sony X85G
Sony XH85
Sony Bravia X900
TCL 58" P635

One user has confirmed the app also works with the Sonos Ray but your mileage may vary.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Hi, I installed this app in XBR X850G series TV, but this dint work like expected. I can help debugging with this if needed. These are the steps i followed 1. Change my remote to use bluetooth instead of IR 2. Installed the app, and connected my sonos account 3. When i changed volume using remote, i dont see playbar volume being changed. 4. Even if i change the volume bar in the volume link beta app, it doesn't take effect I am suspecting that for some reason the app is not able to find my remote volume changes ? Update 02/21: Trying to working with the developer to debug the issue for my TV

5 ★Amazing, got my two new Sony 65inch X90CH TV's from Costco and couldn't control the volume on my brand new Sonos Playbar. The only options I could find online were to turn off the bluetooth portion of the remote, but that makes you lose Google Assistant and voice control, and then interfears with the IR reception on the 2nd TV in the room. I randomly found this by searching on the TV for Infrared. Bought it, set it up, it workes perfectly, just a tiny lag in the response. This thing needs to be shouted from the rooftops!

5 ★Works perfectly to control the Sonos Playbar volume for my new Sony X900H running AndroidTV. The Sony remote that comes with the TV is bluetooth but the older Sonos Playbar uses IR. While you can disable bluetooth on the Sony remote and only use IR, that is not a good solution because it disables other remote functionality. This app fixes the problem, allowing you to keep bluetooth enabled and control Sonos volume. Worth every .01! Give it a try!

4 ★Works great, with one important exception. Sometime I use Bluetooth headphones, and turn Sonos sound down to 0. If I try to adjust the headphone volume, the system suddenly puts the Sonos volume up to what the headphone volume is. I think you should include a toggle that detects if headphones are connected .other than that is a great app.
