WOW Ultra TV - Cable Box Volume?

I switched from UVERSE recently and am trying to hook up my speakers to my TV.

With UVERSE I could program the remote to control the Cable Box Volume only, which in effect controlled my remote-less speakers perfectly.

I can't figure out how to do the same with WOW. Searched website, guides, settings menus, etc....any ideas?

Thanks...

As I understand it, the Ultra remote will control either the TV's volume, or an audio component's volume. The audio output of the Ultra media players are fixed and cannot be controlled with the Ultra remote.

What model box do you have? You can change it from the tv to the cable box. How you do it depends on what box you have.

None of the WOW boxes have volume control or speaker out. They only support HDMI out of Line out. You will need to use the volume on the TV or get a receiver / speaker setup.

UltraTV you can't change the volume via the cable box. You must have an external source (i.e. TV output or receiver or soundbar).

Time to upgrade those remote-less speakers! A cheap soundbar will cost you $60-$100.

Or buy a cheap amp like this one if you want to keep your current speakers:
