HDMI Audio has Fixed volume

Using an SA-4250 box with Optimum Online cable
connected using HDMI connector into a Proview RX-326 TV.
The audio volume will not adjust when I attempt to use the SA-4250
remote although the mute button on the remote does function, however I
can adjust the volume using the TV remote.

When I connect the TV using Component or S-Video with RCA left/right
connectors for audio, the SA-4250 Remote Volume control functions as
expected.

My question:
Is the HDMI audio input signal designed to remain at fixed levels or
should it be variable from the source?

Thank you
Arn

I have an SA8300HD, and the SA remote does adjust the volume. However, going
by the TV on screen display, it is adjusting the TV volume. You need to
program the SA remote with the code for your TV. Volume works independent of
whether the remote is switched to the TV or CABLE position.

Thank you for responding. The remote does not have a code for the
Proview TV so I guess I'm SOL unless I use the TV remote for volume control.

But doesn't it have a function where it will search for a working
code? The remote that came with my SA3250HD does and I had to use
that to get it to control the volume on my Westinghouse LCD.

I haven't tried it with the SA8300 in the living room because I
usually use a separate AV system for sound and a Harmony remote. But
now I'm curious to see if it can get the cable remote to work with the
JVC.

You don't need to have all the funcky functions to work, just the volume and
power. Call them up. There might be an RCA or Zenith code that works.

The Proview is a known unknown on Cablevision's remote. Tried the
scanning procedure a few time without success. Proview also acknowledges
their codes are not available on most if not all remotes.

Can you do the converse? Program the Proview to work the 8300, and use that
when you are not watching on demand and stuff like that. There might also be
third party remotes that will do both.
