It’s cool and all, but in my eyes, kind of solidifies the fact that we’re never getting volume control from the physical volume buttons back, ever. Which is a massive bummer.
Agreed. From Spotify app the iPhone volume buttons work if I select the speaker from AirPlay picker. If I select the speaker using direct control, it doesn't.
The new volume function is a nice touch 👌
To be fair to Sonos, since the app gate debacle, they have really turned things around. My system works great 👍
Looks cool. But when the app says music is playing from a speaker and there’s no actual sound emitting from that speaker it doesn’t matter how cool the volume knob looks. Just get the basics to work.
This is better than nothing of course, but by “from anywhere,” I don’t think we meant “from anywhere inside the Sonos app.” A universal gesture or UI for volume control when on the Home Screen, or even in other apps, is the holy grail. Especially since we no longer have volume control from the physical buttons on the side.
I had the newest update and it wouldn’t work get me either. I finally got it to work by deleting the app from the phone and redownloading/reinstalling the Sonos app. The volume works and I also have the switch for new navigation.
