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?

We now consider this issue to be resolved.

I just chatted with a rep and I can attest they were not aware of this post so I suggest as many of us contact support as possible to raise awareness of the issue. I’ve had the issue for maybe a week now and it’s randomly happened on all my Sonos speakers. This new app has overstayed its welcome.

Also having the muting and green light problem since the app “upgrade” - very sad and frustrating.

As the speakers turn to mute this create a connected alarm problem as well - been using the alarm feature for some years to turn a net radio statio to wake to music - alarm no longer useful as mute means no sound plus a bonus annoying green light.

The only apparent response from Sonos is to deluge its users wit promos for new headphones - as if anyone experiencing the underwhelming app update would contemplate another Sonos product with the current, to use a soccer term, “own goal” app mess.

I am having exactly this problem. Having had to contact Sonos support to find out that my green light going on was due to the volume being zero, I’m not impressed two days later to find my play:1 speakers are resetting themselves to zero and lighting up the house at night again. I don’t really want to sit on the support queue again so I hope they ARE aware of this glitch and are investigating it.

This happens to me too. Home office has a Play 1 that I control from my PC while I work. Volume fine all day. Start up the pc and windows app again in the morning when I start work and the volume is set to zero.

Get this every day.

Same issue this morning. 2 of my 10 speakers automatically revert to 0 volume level within a few seconds, regardless of the level I set them in the android app.
