Interested if others have experienced problems with grouping speakers and Sonosnet
I have 3 Rooms with Stereo Speakers + Sub (2 with S1+Sub, 1 with S5+sub). Another 2 rooms with single Play 1’s. Speakers are initially on Sonosnet via a Boost.
When I group all speakers to the S5+Sub room and Music has started, I then advance to the next song. The S5+Sub plays new song fairly quickly, but the 2 S1+sub rooms start and stop playing intermittently. Sometime L or R only. After about 1-1.5min, all speakers are playing as expected in the group. Advance to next song same problem repeats. If I wait till the song end and then normal advance to next song, all speakers generally are in sync fairly quickly. (Diagnostic 857677570 whilst sputtering sounds (eg. L then R then ..., then no audio, then L then eventually all speakers playing), then Diagnostic 1865270988 when sound is stable - in case Sonos are watching)
Disconnect Sonos and wait till all speakers are on local WiFi.
Start a group session and manual advancing to next track works well. Some “sputtering on S1+Sub rooms, but mostly works well. (Diagnostic 275656568).
Shutdown Home Wifi 2.4G Radio, to ensure no other interferer for Sonosnet (Live in a rural area, with negligible WiFi interference. Neighbours 100-150m away)
Exactly the same result on Sonosnet as described above, S1+Sub Rooms sputter for 1.5min or so before music plays evenly.
I’ve had the same configuration in house for many years, with minimal problems 2 years and longer ago. Im sorry I can't pinpoint when this started as don't group whole house that often.
Even grouping two rooms with Sonosnet can cause some sputtering on added in rooms, with only the first room performing as expected and added room sputtering.
In summary having 11 speakers on Sonosnet with no external 2.4GHz Interferer, causes significant sputtering at start of tracks. With Sonos Net off and all speakers on Home WiFi, then Grouped, performance is noticeably much better
