Since the update to macOS Tahoe I have been unable to connect to the Mac Sonos app. I have re-installed the app but that has made no difference. I spoke with an agent on Sonos chat and he said as the update had only just happened that might be the reason. I thought that’s why Apple released beta versions so cos could sort out any problems prior to the general release. It’s working fine on my iphone that was updated at the same time

Yes, that is correct. That control centre short cut opens among other things the Sound settings. Clicking the right arrow in Sound opens my list of available outputs. Typically I would have the headphones selected on my M4 iMac Mini so my legacy Bose computer speakers will be used for sound output - they are not wifi compatible.
For background music, I have a pair of Sonos Ones, again about 5 years old. They were activated by the Sonos S2 App which currently is unable to find my system through all the gyrations I performed from suggestions in this thread.
My workaround involves replacing the Bose speakers in the Control Centre sound control by selecting the speakers in my office. It is one or the other. Without the App, my music is selected from radio selections in Apple Music.
When previously I had the Sonos mini player in a corner of my monitor I now have to either select Sound from the control centre or have the Apple Music app open on my screen to alter volume and playback. Irritating as I came to like having the mini player and want it back. Hope this makes more sense
I just went into System Settings..etc... and toggled off/on the Sonos tab….It works now….go figure...
this helped - not entirely sure what I did in the end.
mmm
You essentially rebooted the setting. Just basic first line troubleshooting. Works in many scenarios 😊
confirmed that all you have to do is turn Sonos OFF and back ON in Privacy & Security - Local Network
doogm is 100% correct - toggling Privacy & Security / Local Network on and off - TOTALLY fixed it - spent way too much time on this for this ridiculous and obscure fix. THANK YOU GUYS though, spared sonos from winding up in the garbage (again).
