I play music using my iphone from my itunes app via airplay through my Sonos One speakers. When I am done playing music using my Sonos speakers. I turn off the music. However when I now just want the music to come out of my phone and not the Sonos speakers, they will not disconnect. I try to disconnect from Sonos but it will not let me. I have to turn off my phone in order to disconnect. I called Sonos already and they were not able to help me. Does anyone have any suggestions?

In general, when I’m stopping AirPlay 2, I use the iOS ‘chooser’ to deselect the Sonos speaker I’ve been using, and select the phone.

You’re most welcome. Not completely sure, but I’ve always been under the impression there was a timeout from Apple on a connection that wasn’t carrying data, but I’ve got no idea either how long that is, or whether I’m even close to being correct ;)
