Sonos Port: Wired connection but still music is interrupted

I'm using a sonos port which is connected to my recordplayer. The Port is connected via a LAN cable to my router (Sonosnet channel 1) and the music has been set to compressed...and is played via multiple One's

Still I'm losing audio; The music sometimes is not played for 10-20 seconds before it starts playing again.

Also the sonos s2 app (on my Iphone) states that it can't connect to Sonos

Any idea how to resolve this? Eventhough sonos is wired, can it have something to do with my wifi?

Hi Ratty
 

Thanks again. The ones in my kitchen are gen2. (one of the ones is a one SL)
Any idea how to switch those 2 ones to 5ghz
For the playbar I understand this is not possible

You can't force them. They'll just pick the best signal available.

Ok. Too bad.  (Even turning them off/on didn't change the chosen signal. Both remain on 2.4ghz)
But, again...Thanks for explaining. Really helpful and appreciated!

Well at least the Port has apparently connected to the 5GHz. That may help.

    I believe it does as the dropouts are significantly less (read: not occurred so far) since I've switched from sonosnet to wifi

    The port on 5ghz might be doing the trick

    Hi @ratty 

    The Sonos app is now stating that "Kitchen (keuken)” is not configured. When looking at the "status” it shows that the Sonos kitchen Left is on 5ghz while the Sonos kitchen Right is on 2.4ghz

    Can this be causing the anomaly?

     

    Thanks upfront for your help!

    Does the app still complain if you force-stop it and restart?

    Yup. It does. Also after a reboot/restart of my Iphone it keeps complaining.

    But when I put on a vinyl record, autoplay is triggering “kitchen” to start playing and both sonos one's in the kitchen will play….but I cant control them as "kitchen”doesnt show up in the app.

    So I have audio...but no control :-)

    That can’t be intended behaviour at all. Time to submit a diagnostic, post the number and get someone from Support to study the full system entrails. There’s nothing in the user-accessible info at /support/review which could help.

    update: Opening the sonos app on my iPad is displaying "kitchen". Iphone doesnt seem to detect Sonos One (L) which is, together with Sonos One (R) forming the group "kitchen

    The app on the iPad does see both Kitchen One's….as well as the "kitchen” group
