If your Apple TV remote stops controlling the volume, you can reset it by following these steps:

1. Press and hold the TV/Control Centre button and the Volume Down button at the same time.
2. Hold the buttons down for about 5 seconds, or until the status light on your Apple TV turns off and on again.
3. Release the buttons. Then wait 5 to 10 seconds for a Connection Lost notification to appear on your TV screen.
4. Wait while your remote restarts. When the Connected notification appears, you can use your remote.
