[Q] Volume control over Toslink? - Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Where can I buy a Volume remote

Hello I was wondering if someone knew where I could buy a volume and media playback remote type thing, that can connect to my nexus 7 that is installed in my car. Since my car doesn't have steering wheel buttons, I find it hard to change the volume. So a hardware buttons would be much easier.
Thanks

Remapping Volume

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.

Bluetooth volume control

I'm able to connect my JBL Clip 2 and Avantree Clipper. When adjust the volume on the bluetooth headset or speaker, the volume scale doesn't appear on the LG G6. Anyone, has this issue? I have the H870DS.
Because you're adjusting the devices volume not the phones media volume that it's sending to the device they are truly separately controlled. Same with using a 3.5mm to plug into car. You control both volumes separately

Android audio settings with no function

Hello all,
it seems that my headunit (QF001 TS7862s) has two different types of audio settings: the audio mixer which directly controls the mcu/dsp/amp. (The hardware volume keys and the swc belongs also to this functionality.) Than the second type of audio settings is the standard android audio panel with its different channels. But those have absolutly no impact on the real volume. And so no app (tasker e.g.) can control the volume which is pretty bad.
Edit: I've tried an USB soundcard now and the sound output works but by this way both volume controls do not work. So I guess the volume output of the android system is hardcoded somewhere in the firmware and the effective control of the volume only works via the mcu.
Any ideas how to give back the android system control over the volume settings?
Cheers
