Hello everyone,

I have one group set up in my living room that consists of Arc Ultra, Sub , Sonos One SL’s for surrounds.    I also have two Sonos Era 300’s I bought for mainly playing music. (not going to use while watching tv).  When playing a song on Apple music i selected my living room set up and my Era 300’s the music starts but as soon as i try to move volume slider the music stops completely?  When I take off the TV set up and only play through 300’s, volume is fine to use?       Any ideas why playing over two groups my controls not working properly?

 Just tried it here with Arc/Sub3/300s with Beam/Sub mini played as a group.  Volume slider works as expected.  Of course in your case the group you’re creating Is with a stereo pair of 300s.

I believe I solved it.  Went into Apple settings and turned off Sound Check (default is always on)

No issues now.

 

thanks to all who replied.
