Hello, I have 2 sonos 1 stereo paid with a sub, 2 more sonos 1 stereo paired, a move and a roam. When skipping a track the move and roam will play right away. Sometimes the others will play right away then drop out then come back. Sometimes they just wont come on for 30 seconds or so.  I have unplugged them all and restarted the router. That didnt help. I changed the router channel from auto to channels 1, 6, and 11. Non of those helped. Any ideas would be appreciated im prettu frustrated. Thanks for your time.

    Are you able to wire any of your Ones directly to the router with an ethernet cable?

    Are you iOS Airplaying the audio to the speakers, or are you using/grouping/playing the audio via the Sonos App?

    I am grouping with the app. The 2 sonos 1 and sub are one group. Then 2 sonos 1. Then a move by itself and roam by itself. This setup worked great for over a year then started acting up about a month ago

    Have you added any new devices recently that could be causing wireless interference?

    I have not. I got the roam on Christmas but this issue started a couple weeks before that.

    I found that it only does this with amazon music. I disconnected it from my sonos account and reconnected. This did not help.

    It sounds like your network just can’t handle the amount of data streaming from Amazon Music. You might try changing the audio quality setting to Standard in the Amazon Music app, avoid grouping too many speakers together, boost your internet speed, or just use a different music streaming service altogether.

    How are your “rooms” set up? Are you then grouping the rooms or are you starting play to each of the groups you’ve described? From your description above, the normal configuration for “2 Sonos 1 and sub” would be a stereo pair with sub bonded to them, and that set of speakers would be identified by a room name such as Lounge. In your description above, you call them a group.
