Device: iPhone 16e ; iOS 26.2
Home Network: Ubiquiti UniFi (Enterprise Managed)
Issue: AirPlay 2 connects to Sonos speakers but audio drops (silence) while the player timer continues ("Ghost Play").
Isolation:
I have isolated this specifically to the "Limit IP Address Tracking" setting in Wi-Fi settings.
* When ON: AirPlay Control channel works (timer moves), but Data channel fails (silence/packet loss).
* When OFF (and subsequent wifi network reset): AirPlay works perfectly.
*When returned to ON - failure reproduces.
This conflict between Private Relay features and Local Network Multicast/Discovery is forcing users to disable privacy features to use basic system functionality. Please investigate the routing of AirPlay traffic when IP Tracking protection is active on managed subnets.
