Use Voice Commands

You can give Voice Commands like “Alexa, Increase Volume” to control the volume. There are three different ways to use this feature. You can use the in-built voice button on remote, virtual app remote, or voice assistant devices.

Let’s check out how to control volume with this feature.

Firestick Remote

All Firestick remotes have an in-built Alexa Voice button. It is located above the directional pad of your remote. You can see Alexa’s official logo on the button. Since some Fire TV Stick remotes do not have volume buttons, this method can be very useful for them. It is available from 2nd generation remotes.

Voice Assistant Devices

Firestick devices support Voice Assistant Devices like Echo. So, if you have it in your home, you can use them to control the TV’s volume hands-free. You can simply give commands when your device is in an active connection. Although if you have connected the device to your Firestick via Bluetooth connection, it will control its own device volume instead.
