AirPlay audio cuts out when clicking ‘Play Next’

Can anyone else with Apple Music and Sonos confirm if the following happens to you when using AirPlay 2?

When I am playing music from Apple Music on my iPhone to my Sonos One’s over AirPlay 2, I have an issue when selecting Play Next on another track. The audio cuts out on the current track, although it still shows as playing. I have to click Pause then Play on the current track to hear the audio again. This happens whenever I change the track that is queued up to play next. However, it doesn’t happen if I select Play Later to add it to the end of the queue.

I am using an iPhone X on the latest software.

Cheers.

Might be because Airplay 2 doesn't use the queue and Play Next is a queue function?? I might be wrong. What are the advantages of using Airplay to play from Apple Music?

Thanks John. I don’t see any reason why queuing a track in Apple Music should not work over AirPlay. As far as I am aware the only way to stream music directly from Apple Music to Sonos is via AirPlay. I much prefer the interface of Apple Music to the Sonos app.

So how did people play Apple Music through Sonos before Airplay was recently added? Preferring the interface is another matter, of course that is a reasonable personal preference. I thought you were referring to Play Next in the Sonos app - my mistake.

That’s ok. You have always been able to add Apple Music as a source to the Sonos App. It is only since AirPlay 2 that you can play directly from the Apple Music app (and in fact any audio source on an iPhone).

I just want to know if I have an issue with my phone/setup, or if anyone else is having issues when queueing tracks over AirPlay. This could be an issues that Sonos or Apple need to address in an update.

Cheers.

Indeed, still happening on the new iOS 12. It seems adding a song to the queue in Apple Music to Play next, pauses the audio in the Sonos app. Very annoying.

This is still happening, and I am still not getting answers from Apple or Sonos. VERY frustrating having spent so much money. I just want to know who the issue lies with and if it’s going to be fixed?!?!

Same thing happening to me. It's very frustrating. Still awaiting a fix for this as well.

I’m surprised it’s not more widely reported. Neither Sonos nor Apple have been able to help me work out what’s going on yet 😞
