Hey @JimKnopf , yes HDMI is the obvious solution. HDMI and CEC was my first choice and I should have benefit from volume control with this. Problem is volume control on HDMI+CEC is messed up on my setup: it creates audio issues. I had support feedback here but it looks impossible to fix, I’ve got last drivers on my devices and checked all settings, dead end. here is the discussion Audio distortion with Samsung SoundBar + Vero remote / HDMI - #20 by mrtnn in the end the spdif output let me have the control of power on/off TV with CEC without messing around with the audio.
