Connecting a sound bar and using tv remote for volume

Hi guys. 

 

A few weeks ago i bought a Sony 49x8305c android tv.  Brilliant it is. 

 

The tv came with a free sound bar that i collected yesterday, a Sony ht-ct80 which I'm told is at the lower end but is still better than the standard tv speakers which i agree with. 

 

However it needs to have its volume controlled with a separate remote which is annoying. 

 

I'm using the optical lead. 

 

If i use the headphone jack so i can then control it with the tv remote,  there is an annoying buzz unless i turn the sound bar volume almost to the lowest level and then it means i have to increase the tv volume ridiculously high. 

 

Any suggestions? 

 

Thanks, marc
