DIRECTV stream gemini remote does not control sound

I have an LG TV and LG soundplate, but the Gemini will not control the sound.  The TV is connected to the soundplate by optical cable. I spent almost an hour on-line with a CS agent going though all of the steps to pair the two with no success.  Is there a solution to making the two work?  I previously had DIRECTV and Dish service and both of the remotes controlled the soundplate. The Gemini does not.  Any solutions?  Is there a soundbar that will work with the Gemini?

Hi, @jrratcliffe. Refreshing the connection between your remote and Gemini device fixes many common problems. To control the sound bars, follow the prompts here: https://www.directv.com/support/article/000091356 . If the issue persists, meet us in DM for further assistance. DIRECTV appreciates you.

Do you have a Gemini Air or Gemini box? B/c the box has an optical audio output

Thanks for your input, @Ludwick577. @jrratcliffe, the Gemini Air is a much smaller device and is oval-shaped, while the Gemini is a flat square box. Are you still unable to control your soundbars? Shirley, DIRECTV Community Specialist

It must be the air.  No, it still doesn’t work the volume.
