Have a Yamaha receiver, can't hold down the volume buttons

phunkodelic — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 00:02:51 GMT

Everything works perfect on the Google TV remote except for the volume. I cannot hold down the volume button to adjust the volume. It only increases/decreases one click. So if I want to turn it up/down a bunch I have to press the volume buttons multiple times. I don't have to do this with the Yamaha receiver remote control as the volume buttons work fine on it. Seems the google remote is not repeating the up/down command to the receiver. Looks like a bug of some sort.

You might try impairing and repairing.. I have not seen this behaviour on my CCwGTV. I do see a Reddit post about this (also with a Yamaha receiver). Odd thing is they said it started after a factory reset, but they do not follow up on a fix. You might try a factory reset as well, it may work ? https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/offloa/holding_the_volume_button_on_the_ccwgtv_remote/

I saw that in my searching, and that does not work for me. This seems to be a bug with the Google Remote and older Yamaha receivers. How does one put a bug fix request in for the google remote?

You can go into settings help and feedback send feedback and leave a note there. One other question is how is your remote setup so settings remote and accessories, set up remote buttons. For volume control is it infrared,or CEC, and is the device listed as your receiver or your tv? Maybe try switching to your tv via IR and see if that works. You could set your receiver to a comfortable volume, and make adjustments from the TV that way. Not having a Yamaha receiver I can't test for you but I know with my previous soundbar it didn't work well with CEC and I ended up leaving it at midrange volume and controlling volume through the TV, it seemed to work.

Sorry, I have not had a chance to work on this issue. Hope to get some time in the coming days.

Glad you didn't shut down the thread, because I'm having this same exact issue. The remote worked perfectly with my older Yamaha receiver, repeating the volume command when I held down the buttons. I recently had to change the batteries in my remote and lost the programming. No big deal I thought, and reprogrammed the remote to the receiver. But now the volume button commands do not repeat when held.

Hi Wrangler,

just reading your post, I am wondering if resetting and repairing the remote will help at all since you said it worked before you changed your batteries? Apologies if I misunderstood!

I'll say that I've reset and reprogrammed the remote with no luck. It's just frustrating that it was working totally fine when I first set it up. Looks like it might be a widespread issue with these older receivers.

There is no solutions other then to have google address the problem. My guess is that when you reloaded your remote, it probably also received a firmware update that broke it. This thread should remain open as others have this issue, and google has not provided a solution. I work in IT and if I close trouble tickets without a solution or work around it does not reflect too good on my performance. That being said thanks for the help you have provided as I know this is not a issue that you alone can fix.

What I would recommend in this scenario, if you have the time, is that you re-create the issue, then submit feedback using Google Home with logs enabled. That way, the device logs will be sent up to the engineering team to see if they can hunt down the cause of this issue.

Thank you for your patience on this!

Best regards,

Same problem with new Yamaha receiver A6A, IR mode only increases/decreases one click. CEC MODE can’t control A6a’s volume via google remote. The streaming function is working to turn A6a on by phone so that mean CEC for video is good but not for volume control. Just changed from fire tv stick 4K and it didn’t have this volume control problem ever.

Maybe someday google will wake up and smell the coffee and supply a fix for this. As of now I still have this issue.

Same issue here: Older Yamaha receiver connected via IR. Stopped working after new remote was paired.

I'm using a newer Yamaha receiver, the R-N803. My LG magic remote has no problem with "long-press" volume control. Chromecast with Google TV remote does. It had no issue with my old Sony receiver.

We are also having this same issue after pairing a new Chromecast Remote. Receiver is Yamaha HTR-6090. We did not have any issues with the original remote that came with the Chromecast (now dead), only since pairing the replacement.

I also just got a new google chromecast and would like to know if there is a solution out there. I really wish google would take these request seriously. I know that, support is highly appreciated for me and I may turn to other vendors for solutions in both my personal and commercial endeavors.
