Desktop App

The desktop app sucks all of the sudden.  Please fix this and revert to local controls.  Theres no benefit to me to be cloud connected to Sonos servers in order to use the software for the devices i purchased.  No one asked for this and frankly, its unacceptable.

AJ - I already rechecked all permissions and settings; however still no joy in managing the connected speakers via my computer.  I even went so far as to delete all references in registry for the sonos software before re-installing.  

 

Maybe it’ll start working in a few days

What do you mean by ‘managing’ in your post? Grouping and playback are supported on the older apps, but they pulled system management from those apps years ago.

managing - using the sonos app to group/speakers and play music to them.

Huh. I tested my Mac app today, since there was an OS update. Still working for my Macs.
