- The terrible delay in volume control seems to have gone
- One of the most commented problems from the application update
- The CEO of Sonos is gone and the firm promises to “do the right thing” for its clients
2024 was a terrible year for Sonos and many of its customers thanks to an update of the failed application that eliminated the key functionality and introduced problems. At the end of 2024 it was not yet completely fixed. But it is a new year, and it seems that there has been a new dawn, as well as the departure of the CEO Patrick Spence: one of the most annoying problems in progress with the Sonos application finally seems to have been solved.
This will sound silly for users who are not from Sonos. But customers are celebrating a massive change: volume control … works!
Our managing editor Matt Bolton has reviewed this in his own Sonos system and says it is true: hell has frozen, pigs have learned to fly and the moon has become cheese. Volume control works instantly!
What Sonos users say
The news was learned in the R/Sonos Subnet, home to some of the greatest fans of Sonos and the most disappointed clients. “They finally set the volume control,” Brian Nicholson rejoice.
The problem with volume control was simple: there were tons of delay between adjusting it in the application to really listen to volume level change, if it even changed. And, of course, that is a characteristic that he uses very regularly, so even a little delay will become very annoying very fast, since he may want to change the volume several times in rapid succession to do it well.
Volume problems have been one of the main problems discussed in the Subnetdit for many months. But not everyone reports that its application is fixed; The problem seems to be solved in iOS, but some Android users still report problems; Other users say they have never found any problem.
Assuming that the problem is really solved and this will not be a false dawn, the relief of the posters is understandable, but it is still quite condemnatory that has taken months to make the best volume control of the Sonos speakers work properly.
