(also tried “Always” under Location)

I’ve had two Play 1’s for a while now. Firmware is up to date, on same network. Plus phone is on same network as speakers.

I just did a fresh setup for one of them.

After all the steps, it was connected. Plays from app. Perfect, done.

However, it asked to “Allow Sonos to detect nearby products.” And, for some reason I don’t understand, said microphone was necessary to “detect nearby products.” (See pic). Microphone detects products? Okay, I allowed everything.

But, it’s not detecting any nearby products.

Airplay isn’t working either (iOS) and it used to all the time. I know it now says airplay is “not supported,” but I used to stream straight from my iPad files folder by going to the “Now Playing” section on the iPad and choosing “Sonos.”

Thanks

 

 

 

Hi @PeytonMontana, welcome to the Sonos Community!

Sorry to hear your having issues playing your stored files to Sonos, I have details about this below. Regarding the microphone permission setting however: this is for our secure setup which the Play:1 supports. It’s another way of setting up your Sonos speakers and it should be the new default setup which is why the permission is necessary.

Instead of Airplay, as the Play:1 speakers aren’t Airplay compatible, you might be thinking about the On this Device feature that let you play files stored on the controller. Unfortunately this feature was removed from the Sonos app in 2019.

The solutions available to your would be to; use a streaming service that lets you upload your own files such as Apple Music, to use a NAS drive, or to use an Airplay compatible Sonos speaker and group the Play:1s with it.

I hope this information helps!
