New App causing speakers to go to volume level 0, turns on the green mute light

I have noticed some of my speakers sporadically going to volume level 0 since the June 17, 2024 update of the new App. This causes the speaker’s indicator light to go green. Has anyone found a setting to stop these volume changes?

Hi @David Wilkinson Canada et al

We now consider this issue to be resolved. If you still experience this behaviour, please ensure both your Sonos system and Sonos app are fully up-to-date and if still seeing the same problem, I recommend you get in touch with our technical support team who have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your Sonos system and what it reports. Thanks.

This new app will not allow me to access any of the surrounding speakers. In my opinion the older app was more efficient. To answer your question it is the new app update Sonos has to fix this.

I’ve not seen this on any of my speakers. It suggests a stuck button somewhere, sending a command to your Sonos. You’ve not told us which speaker(s) it is occurring on, or what device you’re controlling your system from. The next time it occurs, I’d submit a system diagnostic within 10 minutes of experiencing this problem, and call Sonos Support to discuss it. There should be information in the diagnostic that says where the command for mute is coming from, to help track this down…and if it is a software issue, point that out to the Sonos rep as well.

Hi David,

Also my Symfonisk (bookshelf) speaker, using the new app on an Android 14 phone, recently starting dropping the volume randomly to 0.
The green led I’ve not noticed yet but also didn’t check for. (no idea if this is applicable to the Symfonisk speaker)

@Airgetlam , imho a stuck button is not possible. When this would be the case the volume level could never be raised since the stuck button, constantly pushing the volume level down, wouldn’t allow this.

Regards from the low lands.

This is happening to me. I just raised another post before I spotted this one.

I have the same issue since the last update, the volume level passes at 0 alone.

If a stuck button is not possible, it would be even more urgent, IMHO, to provide data to Sonos, so they could track it down, and figure out what is occurring.

My speakers are green too all the time and I turned off the led lights. I can't turn off the green.

Yes, experiencing the same. Sometimes the volume suggests -1 too!

Same for me.  I just set the volume for each of them to be above zero, so we’ll see if it sticks or gets reset somehow.

 

  The most annoying part is that the green light comes on regardless of whether the speaker has been set up to have display light turned off.  Thus, we now have a bunch of green “night lights” in each bedroom.  Sonos team, please have the individual speaker light display setting override the use of the green light to show mute status.  Thank you.

Today, I contacted the support by chat.

Here is the reply:

Thank you for contacting us. I would like to inform you that we are aware of this and are investigating the issue. In the meantime, can you submit a diagnostic from the Sonos app so I can get a better look at your system? You can do this by opening the Sonos app > Go to Settings > Go to Help Center and select Submit Diagnostics. Please let me know the confirmation number.
