Never having had any problems with the app updates until now. Someone in their infinite wisdom has decided that the volume controls on the speaker (100) now don’t work when you press them.
Well, they do after an annoying delay so turning that loud music down when you turn the speaker on, by pressing the play button on the speaker, doesn’t work.

Instead of working on the device activated by pressing the play button it appears that the lovely thing now has to write and send a note to mummy to ask permission and wait whilst mummy finishes ironing her petticoats to write a note back saying OK you can do this.

But Mummy forgets to write a note to the app giving it permission to show what’s playing.

Sigh. Now THIS is extremely frustratingly annoying as a stream is started directly from a speaker and using the vol controls ON the speaker. No app interaction at all.

This NEVER used to happen.

Bloody annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!

No wonder they won’t release their new products until this gets sorted. I have money burning a hole in my pocket for the new Arc BUT not a chance until I read reviews of how it performs with this mess. Previously I just bought stuff. It worked.

I totally agree... since the last update (and it has been months) I wonder how much time I'm going to resist before I sell this crappy Sonos material. I miss the times with the good old remote control... responsive... what are these engineers doing at Sonos? I guess they don't buy Sonos at their own homes! All this is really a pity. I guess progress is not part of Sonos dictionary.


If you have any S1 compatible gear left, make a new account (for s1) and move them over.

Luckily they have left S1 alone for the most part.
