The Ultra (which is receiving and acting upon the voice commands) can only control the volume via CEC. I don't know if it's necessary or if it will make a difference, but try using "CEC setup" under Settings->Remotes & devices->Remotes->[your remote]. If you can't get the remote to work with "CEC setup" then I think it's unlikely voice control will ever work.
