Roku Streaming Stick Plus 2025 - 4K & HDR Infrared and Radio Frequency

Hi, I have a Sonos Ray, connected to tv by ony optical cable.  Can't control the Sonos Ray volume via optical out of TV (thats the limitation of Optical).  Only Infrared coming from remote to control the Sonos.  Is there a way to use the included Remote (voice remote) on this Roku streaming stick to control both the stick and the IR only Sonos Ray?  Does the remote even have IR capability? Thanks in advance for any advice.

    The remote has IR capability, but only to control TVs.  This old thread would indicate that it's possible to get a Sonos device to respond to a TV remote, so setting up the Roku remote to control your TV and then setting up the Sonos device to respond to the TV's remote may work.
