Sonos Radio account needs to be reauthorized

I can’t search for radio stations currently.

The Sonos app says my Sonos Radio account needs to be reauthorized. When I click on Reauthorize it comes up with an error msg saying ‘Unable to reauthorize Sonos Radio account’.

ive deleted and reinstalled the Sonos app but that hasn’t worked. Can anyone help? Very frustrating!

With v12.2 it is no longer possible to remove Sonos Radio.

 

Guys, You need to update the speaker’s firmware as well, not only the Sonos app.

Update your Sonos speakers

I have like 10 speakers and just unplugged 2 of them (they were right & left of a set) plugged them back and after they restarted, Sonos Radio is back there in Favorites and it works.

I had the same problem with apps & firmware up-to-date.

 

Unplug and replug my Beam did the trick. After I restarted the app, I could browse all Sonos stations again.

I wonder if this has anything to do with it:

Sonos is now offering a premium subscription service in Sonos Radio HD.

Hi people, I strolled through this forum and I tried one of the tips I found and that worked now:

  • unplug all Sonos speakers
  • plug them all back in
  • go into the app
  • re-authorize Sonos Radio

That worked for me, don’t know whether rebooting all speakers had any influence (could also be that Sonos fixed the general issue)

This worked for me!

Powering down 1 didn't work. Powered down 2 did the trick. Thank you.

I have a LOT of Sonos speakers and did not want to cycle power on all of them. I have only one set of Play1s that I used for Sonos Radio. I cycled power on those and it worked. Don’t know if you can just randomly choose one speaker to cycle power to fix it. Maybe.

This is very frustrating. Re-added TuneIn and reverted all our radio stations to it.
