# Volume Control: Instant Room Volume in Somos InControl

> Drag the volume slider or tap − and +, mute with the speaker icon, and control every room in a group.

The Volume card sits front and centre in Somos InControl — it's the first thing you see when you open a room, and every change you make applies to your Sonos® speaker the moment you make it. No confirmation step, no delay.

## Adjusting the volume

Drag the slider (0–100) or tap the **−** and **+** buttons at either end. The change goes straight to the speaker over your local Wi-Fi as you drag — you'll hear the room respond in real time. The card stays pinned at the top as you scroll down the page, collapsing to a slim bar that shows a percentage bubble while you drag.

Changes made elsewhere — the official Sonos® app, your TV remote — show up in the slider within a couple of seconds.

## Muting a room

Tap the **speaker icon** on the left of the volume card. The icon changes to a slashed speaker and the room mutes; tap it again and the volume returns to the level it was at. Sliding the volume all the way to **0** also mutes the speaker (this is what the official Sonos® app does — your speaker's status light turns green while muted), and sliding back up restores sound.

## Volume when rooms are grouped

When a room is grouped with others, the room that started the group shows a single **Group** slider that moves every speaker in the group together. Each room keeps its own slider on its own page, so you can still balance them individually. See [Grouping Rooms](/rooms/groups).

## Max volume limit — removed

The per-room max volume ceiling was **removed from the app**. If you remember holding a row in the
EQ card to cap a room, that control is gone.

<Tip>
  The developer is asking whether people miss it — you may see a one-tap **"Did you use the max
  volume feature? And do you want it back?"** question, and it is also on the
  [Help us track down bugs](https://somosincontrol.com/somos-incontrol/questions.html) page. Your
  answer decides whether it comes back.
