apple music connecting to particular sonos speaker stuttering

Question

I recently switched from spotify to AM. Spotify worked well with the sonos speakers (two Sonos Ones, one Playbase combined with Sub 2 and two Play 1s). Now when I play a song on AM and airplay to the sonos speakers, it connects fine to the individual Sonos Ones, but when I connect to the Playbase/Sub/Play 1s combination, it stutters for about 4 seconds through the music and then settles down. It will also stutter if I change the song, re-start the song etc.

Have tried the usual, restarting router, de-installing and re-installing the sonos app, AM app, removing and re-adding the playbase, removing AM from sonos and re-adding.

Since you’ve done the preliminaries already, and it still strikes me as a communication issue, I would recommend that you submit a system diagnostic within 10 minutes of experiencing this problem, and call Sonos Support to discuss it. Don’t post the resulting diagnostic number here, their lawyers get sensitive about GDPR.

There may be information included in the diagnostic that will help Sonos pinpoint the issue and help you find a solution.

When you speak directly to the Support staff, they have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your network and Sonos system.
