If the volume button on your Samsung TV remote suddenly stops working due to an accidental fall, then you should know the alternate ways to adjust the volume. One of the direct methods to adjust the volume is using the physical buttons. In addition, there are a few other methods to turn up the volume on your Samsung TV, and you can learn them by reading this article.
Use the Physical Buttons to Turn the Volume Up on Samsung TV
Most Samsung TVs come with a volume button on the TV panel to increase or decrease the volume. Those volume buttons are located on the left or right side of the TV or at the back side, according to the TV model. You can tap the Volume+ or Volume- buttons to adjust the sound level on your Samsung TV.
Besides, most of the latest Samsung TV models do come with a single Power button. If you are a user of those TV models, press the Power button once when your TV is turned on. A small menu with a few options will appear on your TV screen. Once the menu appears, press the Power button repeatedly to cycle through the Volume Up or Volume Down option. Then, you can long-press the Power button to increase or decrease the sound on your Samsung TV.
Use the Remote App to Control the Volume on the Samsung TV
Even though controlling your TV using the physical button is easier, you need to go near your TV every time to adjust the volume. So, using the remote apps that are installed on your smartphone, you can conveniently turn up or turn down the volume on your Samsung TV. To control Samsung devices, there is a dedicated remote app named SmartThings, available on the Play Store or App Store.
To use the remote app, your phone and Samsung TV should be on the same WiFi connection. Then, select your Samsung TV and launch the remote interface. In that, use the Volume buttons to turn the volume up or down on your Samsung TV.
Other than the official remote app, there are also many IR remote apps available. You can install these remote apps if you don’t have a WiFi connection or if your Samsung TV does not support WiFi. Using these IR remote apps, you can directly control your Samsung TV without any need to pair. However, your handheld device should have a built-in IR blaster to control your Samsung TV. Some of the best IR remote apps to control your Samsung TV are listed below.
Say Voice Commands to Adjust the Volume on the Samsung TV
If your Samsung Smart TV supports Bixby or Alexa, you can easily turn up the volume using voice commands. To do that, you need to enable the desired voice assistant from Settings. If you like to use Bixby, first, you need to select the voice assistant as Bixby from the TV settings. Then, press the Mic button on your SmartThings app and say a command, “Turn up the volume to 30%.”
If you wish to use Alexa, you need to change to the default voice assistant. If you use Alexa for the first time, set up Amazon Alexa on your Samsung TV by referring to this website. Then, tap the Mic button on the SmartThings app and use the voice command, “Alexa! Set the volume of my Samsung TV to 30.”
FAQ
If you can’t turn up the volume using SmartThings, double-check whether you have connected your phone and Samsung TV to an identical wireless connection.
