All of a sudden, my 2 Sonos Ones are not showing up in my Airplay list. I have not changed anything and they were working fine a couple weeks ago. I have tried power cycling them.

I have seen this exact issue on multiple boards and the answer is always that it’s “odd”. How can it be odd if it is obviously happening to people on a fairy consistent basis? Sounds like a Sonos issue that should be addressed.

zero,

Here is a list of suggestions that Apple have mentioned in the past to try to fix Airplay issues and these suggestions apply to many other Airplay compatible devices… as you can perhaps see none of the things in the list mention Sonos, so I suspect this is something for Apple to resolve, but anyhow here are some things fir you to try:

Plug all devices into a wall outlet instead of using battery power
Restart all devices and try to AirPlay again
Toggle off Bluetooth, or if already off, try turning it on
Turn off Cellular Data
Disconnect from any other Bluetooth devices (like speakers)
Connect to the same WiFi network
Reset your network settings on your iDevice in Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Update iOS, and speaker firmware/software
Move your devices away from other electronics
Renew your devices DHCP lease via the router configuration pages or reboot the router
Switch off any security software and VPN software installed on the broadcasting device

I had one of the Sonos zones disappear but followed guidance:

Updated to latest iOS 15.x
Restarted Wifi router(s) - Mesh network of 2 satellites
Restarted the Sonos One amps

Back up and running!

Worked for me:

Restart iPhone (not sure if this was necessary)
Reboot Wifi router (from the Wifi provider app, I didn’t unplug it)
Unplug power cords on all sonos devices

I have six different types of Airplay device including a Sonos Roam, a Sonos One and a Sonos playbar. I only ever have a problem with the Sonos One. It’s cured with a router reboot.

Router reboots are a nuisance.

I repeat, I have never had a problem with other Airplay devices, including other Sonos devices.

And no, I really don’t want to have to play music through the Sonos service 🤦🏼‍♂️
