App changers volume on iphone

Just use the on screen volume slide rather than the hard buttons.

That’s what I use but it still changes the phone volume, it’s going to be a pain probably end up sending the sound bar and the 2 ones back then go back to bose or B&O

Just standard iphone behaviour. Does the same for spotify, youtube and every other app. How will it be different for the Base or browse?

When you are in the Sonos app it controls sonos. When your out of Sonos it controls phone volume as it should.

Its probably lock screen control where your running into issues with it increasing phone volume and sonos volume. I wouldn't use the lock screen control (its half way done because of so many ios lockouts and workarounds). Go to settings on phone scroll down to Sonos and disable lock screen screen controls and you'll be happier for it.

I only use this sonos crap for my tv surround sound, at least with Bose or B&O you get a proper remote instead of a useless app

So everyone you want to change the volume you have to unlock your phone that open the app! Yeah great tech I think not, this crap is going back

Every single device is going to have the same issue no matter what brand. Your being rather unreasonable. It is apple that causes the issue. Everyone using lock screen controls on apple has to pretend its on the device to get apple to recognize it. Because of the way apple implements lock screen control your phone volume is going to adjust with the lock screen. I don't know what you think your going to accomplish differently with another brand as long as you have an iPhone.

Android you can have actual lock screen widgets etc. to adjust volume and wouldn't have this issue. Return your iPhone before returning Sonos.

There is a program called Sonobit which I believe creates a widget in the apple notification center that may be more to your liking. It should work a lot better then Apple Lock Screen controls - which are horrible but its apples fault.

Check it out it may solve your problem. There is a lot more 3rd party support for Sonos then you will ever find for another brand.

Only use it for watching tv so don’t need the app except for the volume, if sonos did a remote everything would be fine, just like other speaker manufacturers, but that’s obviously to simple

Logitech Harmony remotes will adjust Sonos volume.
