Hi, Well umm I thought it was too but I’m telling you somehow that thing got turned on in the app’s settings area and when it was so mayhem ensued. It wasn’t every time out but more times than not the minute I’d enter the app VoiceOver would plummet to a lower volume. It really did drive me crazy until I asked their twitter feed. That’s what they told me indicating that this was expected behavior. Sure wish someone would have warned me so I’d have expected it (smiles). Now that I turned that setting off all is well again.

But after some poking around in settings I’ve found the cause for my issue and it’s been confirmed by Sonos Support. VoiceOver and in fact all iOS volume was being controlled by the Sonos app when hardware volume setting was turned to on in the sonos app settings area. This is expected behavior according to them. Perhaps others had figured this out long before me and if you did I laud you as it took me a day’s worth of thinking I was going mad before the cause and effect relationship of this setting dawned on me. For now I’ve disabled it as I’d rather have VoiceOver at a consistent volume than the advantage of this ability to control volume. I hope this saves someone else a bit of confusion (smiles).

I’m running version 6.3.1 of the app on an iPhone 6SPlus running version 9.3.2. I’m noticing that when I enter the app from the app switcher that voiceover volume lowers markedly. I can’t establish a pattern to when it does or does not happen. It is rather annoying. I thought perhaps it might have been brought on by the app’s ability to access the microphone in conjunction with TruePlay so I disabled it but the problem still persists. I was just wondering if anyone else had observed this or had any thoughts on what might cause this. Thanks in advance.
