Solved! remote problems

Solution
It may be possible, does your LG remote accept programming? If yes, look up your sound bar model and see if it can be used with a generic remote. Or just buy a replacement remote and change the volume manually for now. My soundbar actually works with the TV remote volume connected through the optical cable and they are not even the same brand.
