Sonos may have finally solved the main issue that persisted in its app.
It's working for us. Is it working for you?
The issues related to volume control in the Sonos app seem to be a thing of the past, a topic that has been intensely debated since the recent app update. 2024 turned out to be a challenging year for Sonos and its users due to an app update that removed key functionalities and caused various inconveniences. By the end of that year, the situation had not been fully resolved. However, with the start of the new year and the departure of CEO Patrick Spence, it seems a positive change has materialized, as one of the app's most frustrating problems appears to have been fixed.
For those who are not Sonos users, this may not seem significant, but for the brand's customers, it's cause for celebration: volume control now works! Matt Bolton, our managing editor, verified this improvement on his own Sonos system and confirmed that indeed, the complaints have been addressed.
The news spread quickly in the r/sonos subreddit, where both fans and discontented users of the brand gather. "They've finally fixed the volume control," exclaimed Brian Nicholson with joy. The problem with the volume control was clear: there was a significant delay between adjusting it in the app and perceiving the change in sound level, a hassle that became frustrating for users who need to frequently adjust the volume.
Volume-related issues had been one of the most discussed topics in the subreddit for several months. However, not all users are reporting that their app is functioning correctly. While it seems the fix has been effective on iOS, some Android users are still facing difficulties, while others mention that they've never had any issues.
If this solution is indeed a reality and not just a mirage, the relief of users is understandable, although it is concerning that it took so many months for the Sonos speaker volume control to function optimally.
