All of a sudden I cannot play my localy stored music anymore from my iPad. Same music is on my iPhone and no issues with that device.

So same music (NOT downloaded music from Apple, but own music tranfered from pc) plays without any problem from iPhone (like it always did) but not from iPad.

I can see all the songs and can select by Airplay where they have to be played, but I don’t hear anything. After about 10 seconds the music starts playing by the speakers of the iPad.

Changed nothing to the system and all devices are updated.

Already reinstalled app on iPad without any result.

 

Any solutions/ideas?

As you discovered yourself Airplay issues mostly are caused by the device initiating the playback. Regarding to Airplay the Sonos speakers just are receiving devices and work completely different from Sonos standard usage.
