when will the shortcut to the Equaliser on volume slider return?

When the new app was released, we were promised that all the missing features would return within a few months. But as we all know, it ended up taking much longer than that.

 

In the middle of all the confusion, I asked Sonos directly if — and when — the volume button shortcut to the Equaliser would come back. I quickly got a reply saying it was just around the corner, and that it was now a priority since many users had contacted Sonos specifically about this missing shortcut.

 

Well… it’s now been almost a year since I was told it was just around the corner. So I hope it’s okay for me to ask here: When can we realistically expect it to return?

    Office Hours is a monthly Q&A session where questions asked by the Reddit community are answered by Sonos employees.

    r/sonos appears to be the favoured platform for Sonos engaging with their users.

    Actually found this thread from 10mths ago.

    The thread was marked as a feature request.

    I would also like its return. It doesn’t appear to me that restoring the shortcut EQ in some capacity is being given any sort of priority. It’s been unavailable for the past 14mths, whilst other questionable design decisions are introduced in app updates.

    This post will probably get deleted, but there is a solution for all of this, and that is to use the Sonofy app. That app is better in all eras and sonos should just buy it and called it the official app. 

     

    Why would Sonos care what app you use?  They spent a fortune developing their API so other apps could connect directly, why would they not want you to utilize that API?

    I’ve had a lot of posts deleted before. Seems like every time I say something in favor of non-Sonos software, they delete my posts. But maybe I’m wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Anyway, try the Sonify app! It still has a lot of features the original Sonos app is missing — like adjusting volume with the physical buttons, quick access to the EQ, and better connectivity. Many users who’ve had problems with the official Sonos app say this one solves them 🤗🤩👌

    Really amazing that you alone have managed to aggravate Sonos enough that they violate their forum policy and delete your posts.
