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
Question
update to macOS Tahoe
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).
