CAN send videos from Mini to TV, but CANT pause, rewind, change volume

Hello! We primarily use our Google Home to control our TV via voice commands (and set cooking timers). This worked really well when we had a Chromecast, but doesn't work as well with our new "Android TV with Chromecast Built in"

For example, I can send a video over to the new TV by telling the Home Mini to do so. But then the Home Mini is not able to pause or rewind that video. Nor change the volume.

Also the TV volume doesn't go down when I say "hey google" to the Mini. 

It just seems like the connection isn't set up right.

I have the new TV in the same home and the same room in the Google Home app.

I can't find any setting for the "lower volume when talking to Home Mini" even though I thought I remember that being a setting back when I first got a Google Assistant. 

Is there any setting that allows the Assistant via the Home Mini to better control TV playback?

Thanks for any help! I've been trying to get help for a while now but keep just getting suggestions to try another forum 😞
