Maybe a stupid question.... Is there any way to control the volume with the standard remote?
volume is controlled by the device the nexus player is connected to (ie a TV or amp).
so no, the nexus remote as no volume control as its not the nexus player that is in control of the volume.
Too bad, now have to go back from one rc to two again.

Depending on your setup your TV / Receiver/ Universal remote might control the NP. If you have and can turn on HDMI CEC this may work.
My receiver will turn on my TV when I power it on and the receiver remote controls the NP.
Yeah, might be an idea... Downside is that you miss out on the nice voice option.

Alternative remote for X1
The supplied remote for the X1 is bad..........very bad. I tried to use my N95 remote with no luck. Is it even possible to use a different remote other than the supplied one?
A remote with volume control, start/pause, forward/back and stop would of done the job.

define supplied!
define Remote!
i didn't get anything with my X1 except for the SD card!
the headset is in 2 parts first part ends with a remote
and is enough to be used as fm radio wire
2ed part have the earplugs
i'm not sure if there are any inline wired remotes out there that will work but i know that the x1 supports the remote control bluetooth profile and has been working fine on my HBH-DS980 bluetooth headset.
Hi,
I'm thinking of switching from having my Nexus Q drive my speakers directly to connecting it to an external amp through the optical Toslink output. However, I wouldn't want to use another remote for volume control.
Is anybody using the optical Toslink out and can confirm if the Q volume control still works over that or if it always carries maximum level?
Many thanks!
Found the answer myself: Toslink volume control can be switched on/off in the advanced settings in the Nexus Q app.
Can anyone give me a recommendation for a cable with inline remote controls, and possibly a hands free mic, which will allow me to use my existing headphones on the Nexus4? Volume controls and a play/pause button are a minimum, but anything else is a bonus.
Anyone seen anything working like this on a N4?
cheers
Jim
There's a app that turns any headphone with a mic that has a button in to a remote, but as a standalone like the iPhone I haven't seen on. I would buy one if they have one.

With root or a custom Rom, would it be possible to instruct the Nvidia Shield TV volume up/down to somehow bypass the system volume and instead control a usb IR blaster which would then give a signal to my audio receiver? I like the volume controls on my Nvidia remote but wish they would control my receiver. I don't have CEC either.
Anyone? Thoughts?
I've been looking for the same. I can't believe that not all home theater remotes today don't contain at least basic universal remote technology. My main concern is Plex which I can get volume control to work if I put it in stereo but that defeats half the reason (DD and DTS) for owning the Shield. Coming from the Sony GS7 I'm disappointed that I can't properly control volume.
Most recommendations say to use a harmony but then you give up the voice search and the headphone jack. I'll keep searching though as I do really like the Shield box. I'm also going to try with the Flirc as I know people have used that with the Nexus Player but I'm not sure if the Shield volume controls will translate.
Hi,
I just bought a new speaker : "Bose Home Speaker 500" and I paired it to my Nvidia Shield TV. It works perfectly.
But when I shut down my Shield TV, my speaker goes to sleep too after few minutes.
And when I turn on my Shield TV again, the speaker does not wake up automatically.
I have to connect again manually the speaker by using the "Accessories" menu of the Shield or by using the "Bose Music" app on my smartphone.
Is it possible for the speaker to turn on automatically when I turn on when my Shield plays sound ? The speaker also works in WiFi. And normally, it will be updated to offer the build in Google Assistant. Maybe there will be a solution later with this? Or maybe is there an alternative solution, with an app / an accessory or a remote?
I also tried to show my pair directly with my Samsung TV, but it does not wake up automatically either.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Apologies for walking up an old thread buddy.. But did you resolve your issue?
The same issue it's prevalent on Android in general.
Example.
1. Pair up controller with Android device
2. Use controller
3. Disconnect controller until next time
4. Turn on controller for further use, Android device has Bluetooth turned on.
5. Controller didn't automatically connect.
6. Have to open up Bluetooth menu and click connect or re-pair device.
7. Device then works again.
I have several controllers and a soundbar which is like to use when I want, but I can't, personally I don't mind. But for the family it'd be nice to have as little things to do as possible.
I have the shield TV Pro, great device overall but this connecting block is quite annoying.
Also you can pair up your speaker so that the Nvidia remote turns both devices on or off.
This is under device preference / display and sound, then power control.
