FULL STORY
======================================================================The 
terrible lag on the volume control appears to be gone One of the most 
talked-about problems since the app update Sonos' CEO is gone and the firm 
promises to "do right" by its customers 

 2024 was a terrible year for Sonos and many of its customers thanks to a 
botched app update that removed key functionality and introduced problems. By 
the end of 2024 it still wasn't completely fixed. But it's a new year, and it 
seems there's been a new dawn as well as the departure of CEO Patrick Spence 
: one of the most annoying on-going issues with the Sonos app finally appears 
to have been fixed. 

This is going to sound daft to non-Sonos users. But customers are celebrating 
a massive change: the volume control works! 

Our Managing Editor Matt Bolton has checked this out on his own Sonos system, 
and says it's true: Hell has frozen over, pigs have learnt to fly and the 
moon has turned to cheese. The volume control works instantly! What Sonos 
users are saying 

The news broke on the r/sonos subreddit, home of some of Sonos's biggest fans 
and most disappointed customers. "They finally fixed the volume control," 
Brian Nicholson rejoiced . 

The problem with the volume control was simple: there was tons of lag between 
adjusting it in the app to actually hearing the volume level change  if it 
even did change. And of course, that's a feature you're going to use very 
regularly so even a little lag is going to get very annoying very quickly, 
since you might want to change volume a few times in quick succession to get 
it right. 

The volume issues have been among the top problems discussed on the subreddit 
for many months now. But not everybody is reporting that their app is fixed; 
the issue seems to be fixed on iOS but some Android users are still reporting 
problems; other users say they've never encountered any issues at all. 

Assuming the issue really is fixed and this isn't going to turn out to be a 
false dawn, the posters' relief is understandable  but it's still pretty 
damning that it's taken months to make the best Sonos speakers ' volume 
control work properly. You might also like Sonos Arc Ultra: the best all-in
