Planning to buy a fire TV stick for my 7 year old Vu 32K160M LED TV. Now I’ve to decide whether to buy the regular fire stick with power and volume buttons or fire stick lite. But for these buttons to work, it seems the HDMI port on the TV needs to support CEC functionality. How can I check whether my old TV supports this? Can’t find any mention of it in the manual or in the product description online.

Okay then, any other way to control volume output of fire stick without using TV remote?
Even if it can’t control your tv volume firestick must be able to control it’s own volume just like a set-top box where both tv and box have individual volume control. One can simply put tv volume at a significant higer level and control only via set-top box.
Does firestick have its own individual volume control? What about firestick lite? It doesn’t have any volume button.
firestick remote had ir blaster it will support volume, power on off without cec.
IR blaster can have compatibility issues depending on the brand. I have a universal remote but my Vu TV doesn’t work with it.
U can check with Amazon , the ir blaster data in remote is setup at time of firestick setup, since it’s not preloaded in remote i think it will support most of brands.
Nope firestick remote doesn’t work if tv does not have cec support. For ir blaster tv should have ir blaster. Mine is Micromax and it does not have ir blaster but wifi/Bluetooth remote. Also does not support cec so volume control on firestick remote does not work.
Moreover firestick does not have separate volume control itself so you need tv remote control for volume. Pretty bad that amazon did not implement this simple thing in the firestick os. You have to use two remote or buy newer tv
Or we can connect a Bluetooth speaker to firestick instead of using the TV speakers, right? Then we can control the volume directly on the speaker?
It doesn’t support that
