Can't Adjust Volume of Speaker Group

JJZee — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 21:26:18 GMT

I created a speaker group with a Mini Gen 1 and a Hub Max. Clicking on the group provides no volume control for the group. In addition I can't use it with Apple Music as it thinks I'm using Apple Music on two devices if I cast to the group with my phone as it considers the Hub Max (linked to my Apple Music) as a second device using Apple Music, which is a shame as the app on the phone can pull up my library with my playlists. The app on the Hub Max apparently cannot.

When casting to the group I can only adjust the volume of each individual speaker and not the group as a whole both from the Google Home App on Android and the Hub Max screen.

Hey JJZee,

Thanks for posting. You did notice a change, but you can still control the volume and equalizer settings for each speaker in a group individually using the Google Home app, a display device, or Assistant voice command.

Cheers,

That's obvious. I hear the feature was removed due to patent infringement lawsuit filed by Sonos.
