controlling volume thru set top box

[daro346]

I have a Proscan 32" TVf (32LB30QD).  The TV has a coax output port.  I purchased a digital converter.  I am able to connect the headset.  Audio comes through, but I am not able to adjust the volume.

Similarly, I connect the digital converter to the set top box (IPC1100P2).  I am able to get sound, but not able to control the volume

I've gone into the set top box setting.  I see where I can set audio to fixed or variable and set the sound level.  Once I exit the set top box settings, I am not able to control the audio volume with the remote.

any suggestions on how to control the audio volume?

Why not program the remote to work with the TV?

I have the remote programmed to work with both the set top box and tv.

If I mute the tv sound and try to adjust the volume through the set top box, I am not able to adjust the volume using the remote.

If I set the set top box audio to "variable", am I able to control the set top box volume with the remote?

Not directly. You can go into menu/settings/audio and do it that way.

When you program remote for TV, it is always sending commands to TV for volume.

What the hell does this answer mean?  Only for RCA tvs?
