Play:1 not quiet enough on lowest volume

28 replies

This may sound like a bizarre requirement but I like to drift off to sleep at night with the music on very low.
I find the Play:1 just a bit too loud on its lowest setting, even with the bass & treble dropped down and the loudness off.
Is there any other possible way of making it any lower?

Thanks

I have a pair of Play 1 in stereo on my desk about 60 cm from my ears and minimum volume is too loud for background music when the room is quiet. I'd very much welcome a lower minimum volume, with perceived volume at least half of the current minimum.

Set the Volume Limit to 50%, in Room Settings. This appears to reduce the minimum volume by a similar factor.

Does anyone know if the volume levels are the same for Sonos One, or can it be set quieter?

Try it. It definitely worked when I tested it, out of curiosity.

does not work at all. the minimum volume stays the same, just takes more button presses to get there. until you reach it, the speaker is mute. even if you set the room to a maximum volume of 10%, the minimum volume remains exactly the same
