Minimum Volume is too loud to enjoy background music

I use the sonos app on my phone, but find the lowest volume setting at night is to loud, I like to listen to rain sounds or meditation music at night in bed, but find it to loud for this, sonos need to bring in a fine volume control to take it to the lowest it can go

Move the slider on the app all the way to zero on the left. Tap to the right of the button once. It will take you more than one tap to hear anything at all. Each tap is a 1% change.

Have you tried disabling Loudness within the EQ settings?

That's how I control the volume kumar, the first tap it more then 1% more like 10%

Tap on the Sonos box or tap at the side of the button in the app on the phone?

Reconfirming from both my phone and Mac controllers. With the volume slider on the very left, the mute light comes on on the unit. And then it takes 1 tap for that light to go, but 4 taps to the right of the button to hear the first faint sounds from the speakers. And I am listening to a play 1 pair flanking my computer on my desktop, while I am at the desk.

Yes that's pretty much the reported issue.
And when you're next to a speaker you shouldn't need to resort to the faff of getting your controller anyway.

A defect then, most likely. I tried again with my stereo pair that is three feet away. The only time I could hear very faint music at one tap to the right of mute is because Bryan Adams was singing summer of 69. It took 3 taps to understand the words properly. With music to go to sleep, it should take more taps than what Bryan needs!

Do the one tap to the right of mute thing and send a diagnostic to Sonos with an email quoting the number to see if there is a defect that is causing a 10% volume level.

That is a fair point. But unless my English is having a day off, the coarseness of the button controls on the Sonos speaker unit isn't the latest complaint, from what I understood of it.
