Okay cool, not too bad a workaround as these things go. Appreciate the reply.I don't think that there is currently a solution, other than using a different remote for volume control.

Alas no change.Registered just to answer. After searching and driving myself crazy i started looking at everything. Sure enough, on newer software LG moved the device connector under all settings>connection. You then can choose bluetooth/soundbar and then sonos shows up. Just choose optical, if you choose lg optical it won't work and you'll have to redo. Good luck.........
Yeah, I’ve added the Sonos as a device. The problem as I understand it is I have the playbase which uses optical to connect so the tv can’t control the volume.Do you not have the "connected devices" on the main settings menu under "connection" settings?
The CX remote disables infrared once the TV is powered on so no instructions from there either which is what the playbase relies on.
That would be awesome if it can be set up to work with the standard remote!The standard magic remote for lg does the same thing, the playbar and base both use optical. I have the playbase connected to this LG and though it was a pain to understand how, once i figured it out it works. The icon on the tv changes to a little + - on the right side when the volume function is working. I wish i would have seen this a few months ago as i could have tested an OLED. Ill do some digging in the mean time and see if i can find anything specific on the cx remote.
No, after initially getting it set up, it was controlling the tv sound volume (on the playbar) just fine. Apparently I made it further than most people get with this. The bizarre issue is why it suddenly stopped working at all once I added surrounds. I’m baffled.Perhaps it only worked when the TV was turnt off? That's how I was misguided into thinking it finally worked. Problem is that when the TV is off, the remote does send out IR signals, but not when the TV is on.
I installed the new 03.10.20 firmware on my LG 55 CX tonight and the new firmware does fix the problem!
The wavy pointer is one of LG's top selling points for meI have an LG LED 65NANO816NA I tried everything I could find and I looked at every forum I think the internet has to offer
The easiest solution that will give you days of your life back is to use a standard LG remote.
You lose the functionality of the 'wavy wand' but frankly I didn't like it anyway.
Shame but stops me having to keep getting up and adjust my Sonos PlayBar manually.
