SiriusXM problems....AGAIN

Diagnostic code 906861728

Getting really sick of this issue.  SiriusXM channels play for 15 seconds and then error out.  Today’s message is Unable to play - it is encoded using an unsupported digital rights management system.

 

15 Sonos speakers in my house..thousands of dollars...and I can’t play music.

Hi @opustv 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

Thanks for the diagnostics - we are currently investigating an issue whereby a fraction of SiriusXM listeners are unable to play reliably on their Sonos systems, and diagnostics are exactly what we need.

So far, “corrupt file” messages have been reported, so your diagnostics may shed more light on the matter - be assured that I have already shared them with our engineers, and one is already taking a look.

Thanks again!

In the meantime, you may be able to work around this if you have an iPad or iPhone by playing on the device and then AirPlay-ing to Sonos.

Hi @kjoh0604 

I recommend you get in touch with our technical support team, who will gather some information from your system. Please be aware that you will not receive steps to fix it, but you will be helping us figure out what the problem actually is. Thanks.

Attempting to access SiriusXM through Sonos and received the following error message: SiriusXM is experiencing a full outage.” Very curious since I can access SiriusXM on my computer and on my phone SiriusXM app, but not through Sonos. What is up with that??

SirusXM on Sonos uses completely different servers to push data to the Sonos system than they do for other apps and web locations. It’s possible that while they’ve fixed one set of servers, they’re still working on others. And probably

has a bit to do with all of it, too.

I contacted Sonos and just received an update on the problem:  “ We've identified a problem with Amazon AWS infrastructure. You may experience issues with Amazon Music, Alexa Voice Control, Audible, SiriusXM, Sonos Backgrounds, Cloud Cover Music and Sonos Radio in the Sonos app until it's resolved.”

Did you speak with the technical support team about your issue, as it seems the issues were only happening to a fraction of user accounts and the suggestion above from Staff was to make contact direct. It may help if you’re experiencing the issue a lot to share any information you have by speaking to the Staff.

Yes, I submitted a lot of diagnostics and make a few calls.  Nobody seemed to be aware of anything.  I brought up this thread as an FYI, so that seemed to be the most we had to go on.  Did all the usual stuff that didn’t help (readd the service to Sonos, etc.).   They said they are investigating internally.  It’s pretty much rendered my Sonos unusable lately though.
