Hey, I have a request: It would be nice if I could the volume buttons on grouped speakers to control the group volume and not the individual speaker volume. Thanks!

If I understand you correctly, you want the physical volume buttons on one speaker to control the volume of the whole group? 
If so: why?

If you’re in a different room to me and we’re sharing music, what you find is the “right” volume for you in room1 may be too loud for me in room2. So I turn down the volume, and your speakers reduce volume too. So you increase the volume, which I turn down again…

Because if I have several speaker grouped in one room, then I do not want to elevate the volume for each speaker seperatly.


Ahhh, I see. I don’t know what percentage of Sonos’ users will find this a useful feature then. Still, I’m sure a Sonos rep will be along shortly…


Hi @netswipe 

Thank you - I've marked this thread as a feature request and it will be seen by the relevant teams for consideration. Keep the ideas coming!
