How To Change The Volume On Your TV Using Your Xbox Series X|S – SlashGear

As long as your TV supports HDMI-CEC, then setting up volume control through your Xbox Series X or Series S is pretty easy. Here’s how:

1. First, navigate to the settings on your Xbox Series X|S, then General > TV & display options > Device control.

2. From here, toggle on the HDMI-CEC option.

3. Toggle on the option that says “Console sends volume commands.”

4. Restart your Xbox to apply the changes.

Now, whenever you want to change your TV’s volume, you can open the guide menu by tapping the Xbox button on your controller, selecting the “Audio & Music” option at the bottom of the guide, and then adjusting the TV volume up or down, or mute it altogether.

Take it a step further with voice commands, and you won’t even have to lift a finger. If you want to use Alexa or Google Assistant to adjust your TV volume, that’s fairly easy to set up, as well.

1. Open settings, then go to Devices & connections > Digital assistants.

2. Toggle on Enable digital assistants.

3. Follow the instructions on this screen to add the Xbox skill for either Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, depending on which device and service you use.

4. Optionally, customize the number of steps you want your voice to adjust the volume by, ranging between 1 and 10.

Now, try saying “Hey Google” or “Alexa” and following it up with “volume up on Xbox” or “volume down on Xbox.”
