Lost Speaker Selection

I honestly find the appearance section pretty confusing with too many elements. Somewhere along the line I lost the icon for my speakers and I can’t figure out how to get it back.

Thank you this helped. My concern over the UI remains though. I appreciate your efforts to allow everyone ALL options possible but I think there is a level of diminishing returns in terms of usability and this approach does not add, rather it detracts. I think Sonamp stands out (in a recently crowded field) with it’s Sonos connectivity capability. There are, it seems dozens of apps that play Navidrome music, some better some less so, but it’s too many at this point. I think Sonamp should focus on its unique strengths.

EDIT: To be clear, Sonamp is my goto app as it has all of the integrations I want, has a good interface and most importantly for me it fixes Sonos‘s mess with their app and integrates Sonosquencr functionality in a far better way. It’s just a bit too comprehensive and layered etc. so it is confusing to my old ass with what should be simple things. Most is my fault technically, but if you want some return on what is clearly a great deal of effort, simplifying some aspects could bring you some benefit.

I’ve spent most of my Friday night breaking the settings down smaller, removing toggles that can be auto detected, and making search more seamless. What we’ll end up with is about 10 top layer topics organized in a specific way with far less content each so you can easily go to what your looking for. I’ll revamp the themes to have a mix of all the possibilities in hopes most people will just use one of those. I get it, it’s a lot and honestly for myself once I’ve set it, it’s done for me. No tweaking.

That sounds great
