    Partly depends if the TV correctly implements hdmi-cec, for e.g. voice remote pro.

    Some universal remotes bypass the issue because they send the TV's codes direct to TV (may need to be "learned"). Oneforall 7935 is a good bet.  Some clone roku ir remotes also have volume controls with learning feature (cheap on eBay).

    Onn branded Roku remote (not OnnTV) should also work (eBay, look for RC-ELIR model number).
