How do I only get the sound bar to show the volume (Android 9)

I have a Samsung HW-J550 soundbar, connected to my Bravia and using it with my Shield. The on screen volume bar never shows up, neither on the Shield nor on the Bravia. Controlling the volume with each device's own remote through CEC.

To show the volume or to control the volume?

I have a Vizio and it's an option in my tv settings to turn it off. Fyi I'm running a shield, Vizio tv and lg soundbar via arc and it is functioning exactly as you want this to

Android 9, but I don't think it matters.. it should be a setting specific on the tv.. let me try to find the setting quick

If you can set whatever remote you're using to control the sound bar volume directly instead of using HDMI CEC through the TV, you won't see the volume on the screen anymore.
