Since upgrading my iPhone to iOS 15 I am no longer able to control my Sonos S2 volume controls using the physical volume button on the phone. I have turned the option off and back on again in App Preferences with no success. Is this perhaps a known issue? Thanks.

    Isn’t that a different thing to the thread topic, which is about being unable to control the volume at all using the hardware buttons on the phone - but appreciate you may have an issue with Airplay, but what is the actual Airplay volume slider showing on your phone and which actual iOS App are you using as your Airplay source?

      If I use Apple Music to Airplay to a Sonos speaker then the volume slider control in both AM/Airplay display and the Sonos App seem to be okay on the iPhone XR running iOS 15.1

      Have the same issue. Controlling volume via the slider in Apple Music is not working properly. Just slides to zero if I‘m trying to adjust it. Using the buttons is working perfectly.

      This issue is not present while using Spotify via Airplay.

      This happened after upgrading to iOS 15.x.

      I’m on iOS 15.1 and loving the change to the volume control slider on the Sonos App.  A number is now associated with the volume setting and with my iPhone 8 a haptic response is also felt when adjusting the volume slider.  Pretty cool!  
       

      I also think the sound quality from my Sonos Amp has gotten better when listening to Spotify.  It’s similar to what I’ve gotten when improving my turntable.  I’m going through old favorite songs and they are sounding more musical.
