We’ve all been there, frantically searching for that tiny device under the couch cushions or between the sofa cushions.

1. The TV Buttons
Your Hisense TV isn’t just a pretty screen; it’s got some buttons too. These are typically located on the side or bottom of the TV.
Look for the volume up and down buttons – they’re usually represented by a + and – symbol.
Press these buttons to adjust the volume.
It might take a bit longer compared to the remote, but it gets the job done.
2. Smartphone as a Remote
Did you know that your smartphone can transform into a remote control? Download the Hisense RemoteNOW app from your app store. Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi network as your TV and launch the app. Voilà! You can control your TV, including the volume, right from your phone.
3. Voice Commands
If your Hisense TV has voice recognition technology, you’re in luck. Simply say, “Hey Google” or “Hey Alexa,” followed by your volume adjustment command. For example, “Hey Google, increase the volume to 50 percent.” Just make sure your TV is set up to work with these voice assistants, and you’re good to go.
4. Universal Remote Control
If you’re in a pinch and need a replacement for your lost remote, consider getting a universal remote control. These handy devices can work with various brands, including Hisense. Simply program the remote to work with your TV and enjoy hassle-free volume adjustments.
5. HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)
HDMI-CEC is a technology that allows different devices connected to your TV to communicate with each other. If your soundbar or AV receiver is connected via HDMI, you can often control their volume with your TV remote. Make sure this feature is enabled in your TV settings.
6. Control through Gaming Console
If you happen to have a gaming console like an Xbox or PlayStation connected to your Hisense TV, you can use the controller for more than just gaming. Most gaming controllers have multimedia functions, including volume control. Simply use the controller’s volume buttons to crank up or down the sound.
7. Use a USB Keyboard
If you have a USB keyboard lying around, it might come in handy for volume adjustments. Plug it into one of the TV’s USB ports and use the keyboard’s volume keys (usually F11 and F12 or the dedicated volume keys if available) to change the volume. This can be a quick and convenient solution in a pinch.
8. Smartphone Infrared Apps
Some smartphones come equipped with infrared (IR) blasters. If your phone has this feature, you can download apps that turn your phone into a universal remote control. These apps can mimic the functions of your original remote, including volume adjustments.
9. Purchase a Replacement Remote
If all else fails and you can’t find your original remote, you can purchase a replacement remote control specifically designed for your Hisense TV model. Look online or check with your local electronics store to find a compatible replacement. This is a surefire way to regain full control of your TV.
