Hi folks,

If you're getting audio interruptions, please follow the steps found in this guide, which covers the most common causes. If that doesn't help, please reach out to our phone team who can troubleshoot the issue live.

Moderator note: Audio interruptions are often caused by WiFi interference. If you are still having issues, please start a new topic with the following information:

  • What devices do you have?
  • Has anything changed on the network?
  • Which service(s) are you trying to listen to?
  • Is the behaviour always the same?
  • Can you recreate it with ease, or is it random?


Alternatively, you may wish to contact us via another support channel.

Hi, User738303. Hello, VictoryPerformancePT. Thanks for the diagnostics. They both showed a lot of WiFi interference. This is often the cause of audio playback issues. You may also wish to consider changing your Sonos wireless channel. If those links don't work, not to worry, we can certainly get to the bottom of this for you. Following any further occurrence of this issue or changes in your setup, please submit further diagnostics and respond with the confirmation number. This way we can identify the cause. Though I do think the solution lies in those articles. Many thanks in advance.

lawrencf, this may resolve your issue: Go to Settings, Advanced Settings, Wireless Setup, Do not enter the password, tap RESET. Can you test this for me and try again?

Thanks for sending in the report. There's a connection error showing up in your report which may explain the cut outs. Please try rebooting each of your Sonos units, including your Bridge. Once everything's back online, test it again. If you're still getting cut outs, it would be best to work the issue live with our phone team. You can find our phone number here.
