Where is the Mute button - New Sonos App?

I can't seem to find the Mute button, in either the new app or in the web app. Can anyone guide me in the right direction?

Huh. I hadn’t noticed this thread had anything to do with Sonos Radio, just the Sonos controller in general.

I could be totally wrong on that. Maybe just me being cynical

I’m chiming in here as I agree this new app is terrible. Initial look is more modern but to not include multiple features that have been around for the 10 years I’ve been using Sonos is inconceivable to me. Please let us go back to old app until all this can be corrected

Rebuilt to make it slower, harder to navigate and have less features. Now that’s innovation! Thank you Sonos.

If I had to guess this is a deliberate cost saving removal of the mute button and won’t be coming back for music. It still appears on a TV stream. I guarantee they are trying to train us all to hit the pause button which stops the stream and saves them bandwidth costs when you’re using a music service. Of course this sucks for radio stations on TuneIn because every time you pause or change the station you get another 2mins of ads. Also changes how I use groups because, probably like everyone here, I like muting a zone from time to time while keeping audio playing in other zones.

Muting is dirt-basic functionality for any audio system. It’s a true embarrassment and very damaging to the brand if Sonos removed this on purpose. It needs to be brought back immediately if Sonos wants to preserve its status as a player in the Hi-Fi market.
