TV hijacks right control stick to change volume when in Steam Link app/game since the latest update

See this Reddit post for more information. When using any of:

- Wired Xbox controller

- Wireless Xbox controller

Logitech F710 controller

With Steam Link on several Samsung TV models (QN65QN85DAFXZA,qe55qn90a), the right control stick now adjusts volume in the app and in-game. This makes Steam Link unplayable for people as the right control stick can't be used without making the TV hit 0 or 100% volume.

It looks like this may be related to the 2111 release, as this was working previously and many users are reporting the same problem now. This originally seemed to be a problem with Steam, but now we realize it may be a problem with Samsung's new software.

PLEASE LIKE AND REPLY TO THIS US FORUM THREAD TOO: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/QLED-and-The-Frame/TV-hijacks-right-control-stick-to-change-volu... 

Samsung US can't read the European forum apparently :facepalm:

Same annoying issue (SAMSUNG - UE55TU8507UXXU 55" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV, Software update: 2501) Trying to use my Xbox Wireless controller with the Steam Link app. The Xbox button is opening the Samsung menu, and Right Stick (RS) is changing the volume controls.

Please just add extra settings for input devices, where the user can enable / disable interaction outside apps such as volume and interaction with the Samsung menu with certain devices.
