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.

All speakers also cutting out and skipping music constantly. Diagnostic #1308495905

It looks like your speakers are losing connection to your wireless network from time to time. This is likely due to interference from your guest network, which is running on the same wireless channel as your main network. Try changing the guest network's wireless channel to 1 or 11 and see if that helps.

I had the same problem and it was severe on speakers connected to a Beam. I connected the Beam to my TVs HDMI ARC port and setup 2 Play 1s. The Play 1s were intermittent when watching TV and perfect when listening to music via the Sonos app. I ditched the HDMI ARC and went optical audio and it fixed the cutting out issue. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the report. There's quite a bit of wireless latency in the communication between your Sonos units. This is most often caused by wireless interference. Please make sure your Bridge is not too close to your router, or any other wireless electronics. It may also help to change the wireless channel your Sonos system is using.
