Sonos App

I cannot believe that the app has still not resolved basic functionality and is so slow in response times. I am sick to death of apologists telling me it's my connectivity. It is not; Sonos seem prioritising rollingout new features as pose to resolving essential issues such as stop, start, volume variation etc. Luckily I still managed to protect the old app on my PC, and this works like clockwork. However, the moment I use the new app you want to smash your he'd against a wall after 5 minutes waiting for it to respond. I would ask that the Sonos plants in these threads don't start telling it's my wifi. It isn't.

Old speakers work well with S1. Sonos has not yet abandoned any speakers, at least so far. 

See https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/sonos-app-version-compatibility

There are many different types of gen 1 and gen 2 devices. Unfortunately, there isn’t a blanket way to use the ‘gen X’ term to describe any set of speakers, since the appellation applies to both S1 and S2 speaker sets.

Bottom line my old speakers from 12 years ago didn't work. The new ones do. No grey areas!

I guess we’ll need to disagree. All Sonos speakers work, still, it just matters which operating system they work with. The only devices that no longer work on Sonos operating systems are the two remotes, and the 30 pin iPod dock. All other devices are still supported.

I assume you work for Sonos

You would assume incorrectly, although it would be nice if they would pay me something….
