Annie, I would ask you to consider, I'm not saying that it is a bad feature, just that it would have been nice if they'd have told us, and given a little warning the first time you started the App.
If you are playing more than one zone in group mode, and the zone you are in is fixed volume output, the other not, you may not be aware, as I was not, that you were turning up the volume of that other zone.
