Hello there i connected my tv using optical input to dx3 pro, i wonder is it possible to let tv control the volume like on usb mode

On usb i set to dac, on dx3 pro display is 0, volume control on Windows

I want on optical input, volume control to behave the same, is it possible?

The optical out on the two TVs I've had with it were fixed volume.

The volume control in the DX3 pro will control optical in. However, the unit will not respond to the volume control in Windows (and likely any other OS) except when the input is USB. It shouldn't be a problem as the DX3 Pro has a remote.

If your TV allows you to select variable volume on the optical output, it will do the trick (most TVs, however will offer fixed volume only).
Another alternative may be to use a DAC supporting HDMI ARC including HDMI CEC, which enables management of the DAC playback volume from the TV
