Configure volume steps for HDMI CEC too

[lemsto]

Hi there
I have adjusted volume steps to increase/decrease by 5 steps at a time, both from remote and from knob. And Im happy with that

But when I am using TV and controlling Wiim Ultra volume through TV remote + HDMI CEC, it is only one step at a time. Which is way too slow. Especially as HDMI CEC adds some latency in the control.

Would it be possible to configure volume steps for HDMI CEC too ?

Bonus feature, what about volume steps for Qobuz Connect too ?

Thank you !

No, I am not.

Increasing the number of volume steps per event means giving up resolution. If the real problem is the frequency at which the events are caught, then giving up resolution is not a good countermeasure.

When you said that eben the initial reaction to a volume change request using the TV's remote takes a long time I wanted to make sure if this is the underlying problem.

I have not mentioned a lag issue, there isn't.

The volume steps already work for HDMI/CEC using the Wiim app and Wiim remote, but with the TV remote it ignores the user's step setting and increments by 1. i.e. It takes a fair amount of time to affect the relative volume (say from 1 to 25). Frustratingly so. That's why the step setting exists.

The potential issues you raise, if existent, would be problematic when changing CEC volume from the Wiim app too, right?

Would be great to hear from a dev (@WiiM Team) to see if there was a reason for not honouring the user's step setting in this context. Perhaps it was simply an oversight and this is indeed a simple amendment.

I probably didn't get "how long 'just holding the volume button'" the way it was meant to be.

If WiiM say it's possible, then why not. If they've had a good reason to not implement this, they might or just might not explain the reasons. Let's see.

Out of interest, what is the typical volume range you need when watching TV? I find myself usually setting the volume between 40 and 55 for most everything. My wife might sometimes reduce the volume to something like 35, her son might crank it up to 65 when he's alone. Adjustments within this range are really fast in this setup.

Subjective, but from quiet to normal volume levels can take clicking/holding for 10 seconds or more. 1 to 35, say.

Perhaps a more objective view is to compare the loudness intervals with what you'd expect from a non-cec TV. I'd estimate that being a step increment of 5 with the Wiim.

Without steps, it feels like something is wrong. Family here said similar unprompted. And this setup is too expensive to feel wrong
