How to Connect AirPods to Amazon Fire Stick and Control Volume

ByJim Miller

Firestick is a powerful streaming device that offers various features like third-party Android apps, screen mirroring, and 4K streaming. However, one limitation is that it doesn't provide a way to adjust the volume when using AirPods or Bluetooth headphones. This can be frustrating, as the audio plays at full volume. In this article, we will show you how to pair AirPods with Amazon Fire Stick and control its volume.

Pairing AirPods with Amazon Fire Stick

AirPods don't have inbuilt volume controls, so adjusting the volume directly on the AirPods won't work with Firestick. However, there is a workaround to this problem. By routing the audio through an app that allows you to adjust the volume, you can listen to your favorite shows on Firestick without blasting your ears.

Step 1: Connect AirPods to Firestick

To connect AirPods with Firestick, follow these steps:

  1. Grab the Firestick remote and navigate to the Settings option on the top bar.
  2. Open the Settings page.
  3. Scroll to the right and select ‘Controllers & Bluetooth Devices'.
  4. Choose ‘Other Bluetooth Devices' to pair your AirPods.
  5. Press the pairing button on your AirPods case until the light blinks white.
  6. Select your AirPods from the Firestick Bluetooth menu and press OK.
  7. Once connected, you'll receive an audio confirmation in your AirPods and a notification on the Firestick screen.

Controlling AirPod Volume on Firestick

Now that your AirPods are connected to Firestick, you need to install an app that allows you to control the volume. One recommended app is Precise Volume, as it works well with FireStick and redirects the sound to your AirPods.

Step 2: Install Precise Volume

  1. Install the Precise Volume app by sideloading the APK using Easy Fire Tools or sharing the file using Google Drive.
  2. Open the Precise Volume app on Firestick.
  3. Adjust the volume slider to your preference, and the volume will change in your AirPods.

While Precise Volume is a great app, it's not optimized for Firestick, which makes it difficult to move the slider using the Firestick remote. To solve this issue, you can install another app called Mouse Toggle.

Step 3: Install Mouse Toggle for TV

  1. Install the Mouse Toggle app on your Firestick using the same sideloading method as before.
  2. Enable the “Enable the mouse service” and “Auto Start on Start-up” options in the app settings.
  3. Double-click the play button on the Firestick remote to activate Mouse Toggle and display a mouse pointer on the screen.
  4. Use the mouse pointer to adjust the volume on Firestick.

By following these steps, you can successfully pair AirPods with Amazon Fire Stick and control its volume using the Precise Volume app and Mouse Toggle.

In conclusion, connecting AirPods to Firestick and controlling the volume is possible with the help of third-party apps. While Firestick doesn't have built-in volume controls for AirPods, these apps provide a workaround solution.
