In my home theatre, I have a player, sub and two play ones for surround sound.  I cannot find the place the the Sonos app where you can separately adjust the volume of the sub and the two play one speakers.  I can only adjust overall volume.  I know I used to be able to do it, but I cannot seem to find how to do it.

I see that for the sub, but I don’t see it for my two Play one surround speakers.  Unlike the sub, it shows no volume sliders.  I know I had them recently and cannot understand why I can no longer find that in the app.

You can’t adjust volume of surrounds, they are bonded to sound bar.

There is a distance setting for surrounds, but i think that changes delay….

If you un bond them and set a stereo pair, then their volume can be controlled

Me too ;O)  i only just got a used playbar and sub, then added play1 as surrounds

The app is very unstable which doesn’t help fault finding….

I know, it is not the most user friendly app - well under the standards of their products.

Sure you can.. Settings > (room name) > Sound - Surround Audio.  Adjust Surrounds Level for both TV and Music Sources:

When I go to that page, the only option I see under that is the reset button.  How do I get those level bars up?

No idea.  It would appear something is not letting the app communicate with the devices.  I would contact Sonos support.

Sometimes i have seen only reset, other times the full options.

Check app and sonos upto date

This is an example of what i mean about unstable

Force closing and restarting the controller will often repopulate missing options.

Have you definitely updated the Sonos app and then, importantly, run the System Update?
