TV remote for grouped devices issue

+1
I've just recently bought a Playbar and I use it grouped with a Connect amp that has subwoofer.
I'm very pleased with the sound, but having to use the Sonos app to control volume of the group instead of the TV remote is annoying.
Please give us the option to control group volume with the TV remote.

+100 I love the Sonos sound but there are a few configuration designs that do not make any sense at all, including this one. Since I have my playbar, sub, and play3's grouped together, I expect the volume to handle the entire group. It's ridiculous that the volume changes only part of the group! What's the status Sonos? Your users have been asking for a year now. Where's your answer?

Sonos, first things first. Brilliant.

Just purchased the sounds bar and Bridge to add on to two existing play 1's creating 5.1 surround... 

However it turns out 5.1 isn't a good option for my neighbours.

I live in a terrace house and I require to bring the same sound from the sound bar to the rear speakers.  Done, Grouped and brilliant, exactly the sound I Require. (After working out the Audio Delay!)

I agree with this thread, as a group there should be a option to control all volume as Master from the tv remote.

As for a previous thread from Jgatie

"(  I would never group ceiling speakers with my Playbar within hearing distance of each other because 5.1 directional sound would be ruined with some of the voices coming from another room) "

I WANT TO GROUP MY SPEAKERS....

Still 10/10 for effort,  My poor Yamaha system has become a classic!... 

Ben - as a reminder.  If the reason you unpairded the Play:1's and added them back grouped is because music didn't play in full stereo ... there is option to make the paired speakers full when playing music.

If this is the case - go back to having them setup as 5.1.  Go under room settings and set surrounds to Full from Ambient.  Then TV will be 5.1 and any Sonos music you play the rears will play in full stereo just like they do when grouped (and volume control will control them as well).

Chris, for playing music I had located the option to for full ambient. It's the tv I would like in full ambient so I can have the sound nearer my ears therefore loader to myself but not to my neighbours, and indeed family upstairs. Is this something that may be considered for updates? Regards Ben

I've also recently bought a Playbar/Sub/2x Play:1s and I use it grouped with an extra pair of Play:1's .
Sound is great, but having to use the Sonos app to control volume of the group instead of the TV remote is a deal breaker.  I am thinking about returning the 2 extra Play:1's I bought to compliment the front L and R.  Sonos, Please Please give us the option to control GROUP volume with the TV remote.

YES YOUSUF!!!

We need the ability to control group volume with remote as opposed to only controlling playbar volume.

I have the playbar+sub+pair of play 1's Dolby 5.1 setup. I decided to buy another pair of play 1 and created another room with them in stereo configuration. I placed them at the front of my room and grouped the two rooms. After some tinkering with the playbars lip sync settings I got this configuration sounding great. Especially after I put all my components through my Xbox one, and out via its optical out to the playbar to give me real Dolby 5.1. However I'm having this same TV remote issue. The second room in my group won't volume adjust until I grab my cell phone and adjust the entire groups volume with the sonos app. This shouldn't be a difficult fix. I'm surprised it's taken sonos this long.

Something very weird happened.  By some sort of glitch (I guess), I was able to control ALL GROUPS via my TV remote.  I'm not sure what happened.  I took it for granted, and after unplugging/replugging my sonos speakers to re-arrange them in my room, it is no longer working.  So, I know for a fact that SONOS can get this to work, because I was able to (for a couple days) control my entire GROUP (playbar/sub/ 4 play:1's) with the TV remote.  Now its not working.  SONOS, come on help us out here!
