Settings guide

Open Settings from the Windows notification-area icon or macOS menu-bar icon. The left side contains six sections: Devices, Speaker, Volume, General, Diagnostics, and About.

Most configuration changes save automatically after a short delay. Speaker sound controls are applied directly to the selected speaker.

Default configuration

Setting	Default	Purpose
Sonos speaker	None	The speaker controlled by the bridge
Follow	Follow system output	Tracks the current default computer output
Synchronize mute	On	Synchronizes mute when supported
Two-way synchronization	On	Allows Sonos changes to update the computer
Mute speaker at zero volume	Off	Treats zero computer volume as Sonos mute
Highest speaker volume	55%	Caps the level sent to Sonos
Volume feel	Balanced	Gives finer control at low volumes
Start at login	Off	Starts the app after sign-in
Keep checking if updates are missed	On	Polls as a recovery path when events are missing

Settings sections

• Devices selects the Sonos speaker, computer output, and mute behavior.
• Speaker controls features exposed by the selected Sonos model.
• Volume controls direction, maximum volume, mapping, and testing.
• General controls startup and fallback checking.
• Diagnostics shows live connection information and reset tools.
• About shows the installed version, source repository, license, and independence notice.

Reset settings

Open Diagnostics and choose Reset settings to restore the defaults in the table above. This removes your speaker and fixed-output selection, so setup must be completed again.
