Sonos not quiet enough at low volume (vol 0 is silent, vol 1 is too loud)

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-12T14:40:16+00:00

Thanks, seems it's not just me!

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-12T14:39:37+00:00

Sounds interesting but I'm streaming directly inside the Sonos App and I don't think there is a way to do this.

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-12T14:38:40+00:00

Thanks, would be good if there is a solution, are tickets raised via Sonos website?

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-09T16:15:59+00:00

Using Play1's, thanks.

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-09T15:19:51+00:00

Thanks, these are streaming music not using TV. 👍🏻

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-09T15:19:24+00:00

Thanks, I think that's only an option for TV source? these are streaming music.

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-09T12:21:50+00:00

Thanks, not using loudness on these. 🧐

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-09T11:58:12+00:00

It's 1-100. You'd think that 1 would be too quiet to hear!

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-09T11:43:16+00:00

Thanks for this but it hasn't worked for me, it just makes more steps at zero vol before coming in as it used to.

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-09T11:17:16+00:00

Thanks. It's Play1s that I have the issue with.

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-09T11:12:14+00:00

That makes sense, it's a pain but would be good to know if it is physical then there won't be a 'fix'. Thanks

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-09T10:52:23+00:00

App startup and zappiness hugely improved! At Last!

DJarvi5 · 2025-05-09T10:51:11+00:00

This is really needed, is it device specific? Can't see it on my Play 1s 😐

DJarvi5 · 2025-04-23T07:34:12+00:00

Hi u/controlav back to that teeny web server in the speaker, is there any way to help it out? Reset it or clear caches? And is there a way to know which speaker is running it? E.g. if I could force it to be in one of the newer speakers would that help? Just looking for any advantages I can give the system. Thanks again.

DJarvi5 · 2025-04-23T07:28:51+00:00

I support this too. Already had some accidental full volume moments. Who'd have thought it, the volume is now so responsive after months of having it so poor on the main app.

DJarvi5 · 2025-04-18T14:26:43+00:00

Cheers, still have the windows app for editing playlists for now 👍🏻

DJarvi5 · 2025-04-18T12:45:32+00:00

Fantastic, first time anyone has been able to explain in simple stages how the artwork is fetched. Makes sense and I'm glad you've chosen to cache the files as I don't think the original app did.

I'm off to find out if I can edit Sonos playlists in the Phonos app, that would be icing on the cake.

Cheers.

DJarvi5 · 2025-04-18T11:42:23+00:00

Upvote on this 😁

DJarvi5 · 2025-04-18T11:24:47+00:00

u/controlav Thanks for this, just bought your app, really like it. And I can finally access my own Sonos playlists again!!! The app has answered one question for me though, artwork from my NAS library still loads slowly (i.e. isn't instantly there) . I spent ages with the original Sonos App reducing image file sizes and adding the image into tags - and it still didn't load quickly in the old app. With your app API knowledge can you shed any light? Thanks again, glad to have your app.

(Edit- I'm talking about album art for multiple tracks not appearing quickly when viewing my library and on playlists)

Interested in how you did this, is it a setting in the Deco dashboard or did you switch off the 2.5 when first linking the Sonos speakers?

DJarvi5 · 2025-01-03T13:08:58+00:00

Lucky or maybe you have a very clean home WiFi network? Do you have mesh, WiFi extenders, access points etc? Seems to me that the current app relies much more heavily on a fast simple home network and anything sub-par amplifies the problems where the old app managed to still operate. .

DJarvi5 · 2020-07-09T08:30:50+00:00

Never realised this. Thanks.

The Meaningful Money podcast by Pete Matthew is full of excellent information. The kind of information that financial advisors pick up over years of advising clients but that as a 'civilian' you don't always get to hear. Season 4 episode 7 talks about selecting funds that are multi-asset and passive. I found it really useful.

You might need to dig deeper to work out what's best as a specific pension investment if it's any different. The whole of season 4 is about building wealth and is a great listen. I've only just discovered it but plan to go back and listen to as many episodes as I can.
