I want to know who's responsible…

So, exactly who the hell was it that thought it was a good idea that the volume bars in the app now have numbers? It's taking me twice as long to get the volume right…and of course I simply cannot have anything like 22 or 36, because they aren’t divisible by 5 are they. 🤬

I might have had some small part in that :sweat_smile:

Adding numbers to the volume bar was something I suggested when I first joined the company and have occasionally nudged various people for, so I’m very happy they’re here :smile:

I’m glad you’re enjoying it :wink:

I’m on the latest release and I’m not seeing this. I assume it’s iOS only?

Is this an Apple only change or am I missing an app update? I’m on android and don’t see it. Not complaining, just asking. :grinning:

iOS only for the moment, Android will be coming in a future release :slight_smile:

Thanks for putting your hand up @James L. While my post was partially in jest, real OCD is no joke for the sufferer. A couple of lines of code to put an option to turn this feature (and perhaps others) on and off in the settings would be easy, and might just stop someone’s genuine angst. We do a lot these days to accommodate diversity, and mental health might just be one area of consideration.

A clear sign that Sonos loves Apple and hates Android !!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to say that the configuration might be a little trickier than you think. Most configure is stored on the devices themselves, not the app. So the setting would take up space on the devices and would apply to all controllers, not just yours.

However, I’m not sure that’s the case anymore. The new Light/Dark mode toggle is essentially the same sort of switch, and would guess that configure is for the app itself, not stored on the speakers. I haven’t tested that idea though.

And of course, Ken did something to his volume control already, so maybe the switch you want already exists. However, I can’t verify that since Sonos hates Android!!!!!!!!!!

Additional evidence that adding a feature requested by some will apparently make others angry or unhappy, and generate complaints.

Whenever they make it to Android I’ll appreciate them, it will certainly make balancing several of my groups easier If I can just set them to known numbers to start off with.

Generated sarcasm in this case.

Mate, when a company can set up a specific radio channel for Pride month and send it to all and sundry to enjoy, I think they are woke enough to consider other diverse groups in their activities!

As far as I can tell, at the moment there is no way to use the numbers in a meaningful way, such as in presets.
