Right analog stick changes TV's volume

[lesma]

I've been using the Steam Link app with my Samsung Q60A and dualshock 4 (via bluetooth) for almost two years now. Always worked perfectly

But recently a strange bug emerged, whenever I'm gaming and use my right analog stick, alongside the camera movement in-game my TV's volume also gets changed

I've already tried reinstalling it and connect/disconnect multiple controllers and nothing

Has anyone ever dealt with anything similar?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I've been looking ages to resolve this issue. Subbing

Seeing this too - subbing. The issues started cropping up after the TV updated versions to 2111 (model QN85Q80AAFXZA, using DS4 controllers connected with 8Bitdo v2 using DInput mode). I'd suggest not updating the TV's firmware version to avoid the issue.

Same here, updated firmware caused the issue

same here, updated firmware to 2111 (model QN90AA)

suspected the update screwed it up... Can't reverse it too rip

[Limited_min]

Same issue with me, hope it can be resolved soon

[lm3nds]

Same issue here, any updates?

I've got the same issues, it looks like the firmware update for Samsung mapped the right joystick to volume controls (maybe it can be overridden by apps) but the Steam Link app doesn't account for that

Same issue here. Copy+paste this here from the Samsung forum;

"Everyone please call Samsung customer service (via the support option on the TV) to get attention to this bug. When I called, they said I was the first report."

[Izen]

Same issue!

From the Samsung thread (Samsung side:. https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tv/tv-hijacks-right-control-stick-to-change-volume-when-in-steam/td-p/6548872
)

it seems that Samsung allow now the control of the tv with mouse, keyboard and controller. It's a new feature with the latest update.

So it seems that apps that use an controller have to change something in their app code. The new Xbox app and GeForce now apps work normal until you start steam link app, after that also the Xbox and GeForce app change the Volume when moving left stick, till restart of the tv. So it seems to be the steam link app that have something to update.

I love when developers change a main behavior because "that would be cool" where most people don't care to steer their tv with an game controller..

Within the Samsung thread someone comment that the steam support is aware of this and change will come (whenever)

Like you all here, I'm also seeing this issue on supposedly supported controllers including an XBox 360 wired controller and a DS4. I'm seeing no public acknowledgement of it from Valve or Samsung, so I'm going to file reports; I hope you all intend to do the same too.

The Steam Link app on Samsung TVs seems to be pretty much abandoned.

A proper public statement from Valve and/or Samsung on support for the app is *long* overdue!


PS It also lacks many modern features, including the option to work remotely. I particularly hate that it doesn't have support for 5.1 sound, unlike Steam Link hardware and apps etc, which makes it essentially useless to me. Why bother with 4K and not 5.1 sound?
