Sonos Ace volume control

I noticed that sometimes the content key changes the volume by 1 and other times it changes the volume by 4. Why does it do this?

Hi ​@warbuff24 

Sorry to hear of this issue you are having with your Ace headphones changing volume by different amounts when you use their button control.

I would likely put this down to the device they are connecting to, and perhaps the connection method - it is entirely possible that you will see different volume jumps when connected via Bluetooth, for example, as compared with a cable connection.

If this does not fit what you see, you may want to get in touch with our technical support department to find out more.

I hope this helps.
