Speakers unable to be controlled and connected after playing prior

Having a party and switched off all of the speakers except one.  When I tried to then add the others back, they showed check marks in the app as if they were connected, but no music playing, and were grayed out.  Tried rebooting app, using another iPhone to control, using my MacBook to control.  Nothing.  Party had to continue with no music.  I spent a fortune installing speakers, turntable, soundbar, multiple amps.  Am soooo frustrated!

I have no idea what you mean by powered down.  I merely selected different speakers.  And what I did to finally correct it this morning was to restart the amps.

Sonos is not designed to be switched off, by doing that you may have triggered a networking issue that normally isn't exposed.

Qiuck fix is to power down all Sonos, reboot the router and power up the Sonos.

Long term fix, assign static/reserved IP addresses from the router's DHCP page.
