Volume Control Issues with Samsung TV

Configuration
1

Hello,

I am having an issue with my media player in Home Assistant (Samsung TV) where I am unable to set the volume to a specific level.

These actions do work:

  • media_player.volume_up (TV volume is going up) :white_check_mark:
  • media_player.volume_down (TV volume is going down) :white_check_mark:

But this action doesn’t do anything :negative_squared_cross_mark: :

service: media_player.volume_set
data:
  volume_level: 0.06
target:
  entity_id: media_player.samsung_7_series_65

It doesn’t give an error, but the volume is not changing either, regardless of which volume_level I try.

Model: Samsung UE65MU7000
Integration: Samsung Smart TV

I would greatly appreciate any help or advice.

Thank you.

I’ve never tried adjust the volume in a service call but I’ve found this Samsung TV integration to be far more reliable - GitHub - ollo69/ha-samsungtv-smart: 📺 Home Assistant SamsungTV Smart Component with simplified SmartThings API Support configurable from User Interface.

Unfortunately, the integration by ollo69 fails as well.
The volume_set action doesn’t do anything. :frowning: Thanks anyway.

Allright. Looks like I solved the issue.
My TV was connected to my Samsung Soundbar via Bluetooth.

By using an HDMI cable instead (ARC), everything worked immediately! This enables more connectivity between the two devices and makes the service call work!
