Remote changes channels but doesn't control volume
Your remote's volume buttons are probably set to control a soundbar instead of the TV. Check your remote settings or try re-pairing to the TV. You can also control volume through TV settings menu.
When volume buttons don't work on the TV, the remote is set to control a different device like a soundbar. Reset the remote pairing or change the volume button assignment in TV settings.
