Control individual speaker volume in 5.1 setup

Hi
Is it possible to control individual speaker in a 5.1 setup?

I feel my rear is a little weak (play 1) and want to bump the volume a little

You can adjust the level of the rears in the Sonos App, yes. You can't do them individually, though. I would also recommend that if you haven't done it yet, you run TruePlay, even if it requires spending a beer or two to have a friend come over for the evening to borrow their iOS device.

How do you adjust the level of the rears? I have iPhone and I have TruePlay setup it just I mount my speakers on the wall behind the sitting so I want to crank up a bit more volume due to distance and placement.

I'm having the same problem. My rears are really weak unless I crank the playbar volume. I want to bump my rears up more, but it looks like I can only change bass/treble. Feeling frustrated.

Did you try following the link in the post directly above yours?

I increased my surround volume yesterday, the link posted covers it.

There is also a "Loudness" setting.

I found using 2 x Play:3 worked better than my Play:1 - a much more rich sound. Turning the Play:1 up just made them louder, I actually needed a better speaker.

You cannot change the volume on the play one speakers, individually or seperately through the app. The people above /below are talking nonsense. It is not possible. Is there a sensible person out there who can tell me how to change the volume on the play one speakers because at the moment they are a complete waste of money as they are so quiet as to make them useless. Sonos are NOT a good Company as they do not exp;in things and make it so difficult.

Why are you asking for help doing something that you've already declared impossible?

I'd help you, but I would only be talking nonsense.
