When the Airplay password is active, Sonos Airplay is completely broken.

Every Sonos speaker in the house blocks Airplay streams and requests an AirPlay Password whenever Airplay Require Password is enabled on the Apple TV or in the Apple Home app.


Once the password is enabled, Airplay works well with Apple devices but not with Sonos devices. No Sonos speaker is affected when the AirPlay password is disabled on Apple TV or the Home app. They continue to request the Airplay password.

Resetting each Sonos speaker individually is the only thing that appears to solve the problem.

Has anyone encountered this issue?

Sonos devices have no screen or keyboard, so entering a PIN code is a challenge. As a result, Airplay with PINs is not compatible with Sonos.
