Sonos defaulting to one room

With some ‘known bugs’ and the (much mentioned) ‘missing features’ aside, I personally find the new Sonos App simple to use. It’s just a little slow in some areas.

It’s almost too simple, perhaps more-so for some long-term S2 Sonos App users. In some instances, it’s ‘intended’ simplicity can lead to taking more steps than were required in the S2 App, which ‘some’ new (unfamiliar) users often described as being complex to use.

The new Sonos App still plays all the audio sources to each/every Sonos room/group here. It is though, different to how the S2 App used to work in some areas. I think any ‘new’ Sonos users will now find it much easier, but it seems it can take some long-term S2 users longer to get used to the way it works to control their products.

The bugs and missing features of course, are also not helping to win ‘hearts and minds’ aswell, but I can still see that the new App has potential and I’m interested to see exactly how it develops in the coming months.

On the app’s main home screen, touch Your System in the top left. This brings up all your available speakers.

Select the room/speaker you want to adjust. This then presents you with controls for that room/speaker at the bottom of the home screen.

From there, you can play, pause or adjust volume.
For more controls, you can tap on the shape to open the ‘now playing’ screen, and drag it back down again if you so wish when finished. 

Without meaning to sound arrogant. Yes your replies sound sound simple but they they don’t work, hence my post Iin the first place.

Same same. It’s maddening 

Yes. It defaults to our main bedroom every time we input anything for another room. It will ultimately play in the room we want but stays on the main bedroom as well. Very frustrating. 

Same issue, frustrating. Have tried all the suggestions, but still defaults to my AMP. 

Nothing Ive tried works, same issue-its a bug. Its annoying, in my house it inexplicably daughters room. 

So obviously it just picked a default for everybody..

I’m having the same problem (and many others). This new app update is absolutely trash.

It seems to be working better once I just updated my system on the app.. it still defaults to one room, but it is now changing the first time. That may help some people, it’s not as annoying.

i had to attempt the upgrade a few times, but it finally worked.
