Hi,

This has not previously been an issue for me but since i switched phone (OnePlus 7 on Android 11 to OnePlus 11 on Android 13) a week ago i have had issues with my Sonos speakers not appearing in my Spotify app.

I can usually fix the issue by reauthorizing my Spotify app in Sonos S2 but this is quite irritating to have to do on a daily basis.

Ive tried most things i can think of. Reconnecting my speakers, power cycles, uninstall and reinstall app...nothing seems to give me a permanent fix.

No network changes has been performed.

Pls help!

 

Edit.

I just pulled out my old OnePlus 7t on Android 12. It had been reset to stock, so loggede into Google account and installed the Spotify app. Straight away all my Sonos speakers appeared in the app.

 

So my best guess is that the issue is isolated to my new phone with Android 13, OnePlus 11.

 

Anyone with similar experience?

This has now been fixed with the new Oxygen OS 13.1 update. It was reported by many OnePlus 11 users and OnePlus finally identified and applied a fix in their most recent release.

I installed the update today and my Sonos speakers are now showing up in Spotify after a couple month hiatus.

My system was working for 3 years with no issues. Now nothing works. I have 9 Sonos devices. All disappeared from Spotify app and won’t come back. I’m using iPhone. Restarted all network devices, updated software on all network devices, deleted and reinstalled Spotify app, restarted iPhone. Nothing works. All google cast devices are still working in Spotify app. All Sonos devices show up in Sonos app. This is incredibly frustrating!

Sounds like it would be. Any chance you rebooted your router while the Sonos were unplugged? 

What fixed for me was going to settings > wifi > wifi assistant then turn on dual wifi acceleration. Connect to the same secondary network as your primary network. Hope this helps as even with oxygen os 13.1 the issue wasn't fixed.

I sent this prematurely. The Sonos speakers did show up in my Spotify app immediately after I updated to Oxygen 13.1, but as reported by many others, the speakers are there for only a minute or two and then they disappear. 13.1 did not fix this issue.

Hello, just bought this week a Sonos Arc, and I encounter the exact same issue: the Sonos Arc doesn’t show up in my Spotify app (I am in Oxygen 13.1). I rebooted the router and the Arc, and still nothing. 

Can you help with this?


Many thanks

Same here, using samsung S23+ on Android 13. Sonos devices cannot be found in Spotify app. Pretty annoying...

I've recently switched to a OnePlus 11 and have experienced the issue with my Sonos devices not appearing on Spotify.

However Djhillyd's solution seems to have worked for me.

Thanks dude, you've saved me the pain of having to use Spotify via the Sonos app. 🙂🙂

Phone settings? Sonos settings? Spotify settings?

 

Looking for them but haven't found yet 

Phone settings.

Unfortunately for me, Sonos is now no longer showing as an available device. 😑
