Adjusting group volume on new Sonos app

There used to be a way on the old app where you could adjust group volume but dragging overall volume to zero, lifting finger, and then increasing the volume. All speakers would then have synced to the same volume.

The new app seems to have lost this feature - is there another way of doing it I haven’t found?

Hi. I am away from my system at the moment so can’t experiment. I would just point out that playing all speakers on the same value number does not achieve playing at the same volume. At least, not if the speakers are different models.

So it would come as no surprise if this is another feature lost in the new app, but I think it is one of the more minor losses. Still frustrating for you, though, if you found this helpful.

As I recall. In the previous version you could click the master slider and it would quickly display the slider for each individual speaker slider so you could adjust each one individually all at a glance. Hopefully that makes sense. I also liked how they displayed the volume % as you adjusted the volume slider.

It is admittedly not quite the same as group volume button is not visible at the same time as individual speaker volumes. I don’t personally find that that matters, but others may feel differently.

The frustration with volume control is just the worst experience I’ve had with Sonos.

Not all grouped speakers respond to master volume slider. Is this a (another) known issue?

I also have this issue now. I have 2 Ones in stereo in a room, another 2 Ones in stero in another room, a ERA 100 in a 3rd room and a Roam SL in a 4th room.

These 4 rooms are in a group. Since the last update (or maybe the one before, not sure). Adjusting the volume on the group only does the ERA 100 and all the Ones. The Roam SL is no longer affected though its clearly shown as part of the group.

Answering myself here. I removed the Roam SL from the group and added it back and it fixed the issue.
