I’ve upgrade my IPad Pro M4 to latest iPadOS 26. When trying to stream music from YouTube to Sonos system via AirPlay/Blutooth, it  get the message “Something went wrong. Tap to retry”. Tap but still doesn’t work. But if I switch back to iPad speaker, works just fine.

    Hi ​@TopDownTim 

    Welcome to the Sonos Community!

    Thanks for reporting. We were able to reproduce this issue and started investigating, but it seems (according to other user reports) that Google have now fixed this issue. Please ensure your YouTube app is up-to-date.

    I hope this helps.

    I’d guess it’s YouTube, not Apple or Sonos.

    Has anyone reported this to YouTube?  Sonos devs ?

    After spending over an hour with Sonos support, the common theme they kept saying is” this is expected behavior without youtube premium music”, they even “checked with back office,” who said the same thing.

     They are made aware that this is with the youtube app and not youtube music, however I purchased YouTube premium music to no avail. I sent them this thread, I sent them a video of it happening, and I sent them multiple diagnostics. I redownloaded the app, reset my router and all speakers, etc, etc.

    They told me to reach out to YouTube support 🤡

    Interesting since I have YouTube premium music and I am having this issue… seems like no one is willing to take accountability for this issue …

    It's not YouTube because I can AirPlay to my TV and Apple TV without any issues. The only problem arises when I switch to my Sonos speakers. However, if I open the Sonos app and go back to YouTube, it reconnects, so there must be some glitches or interference. I also reset the network and reinstalled both apps. Since it will works when I toggle back and forth between the apps, I'm confident that there isn't a problem with my network nor youtube! So frustrating when u have to deal with these basics.

    interesting— this worked for me, too. Just switching back to sonos then back to youtube. Thanks for the temporary fix at least

     

    edit: this only worked once and I can’t recreate it :/

    Thanks, weirdly enough this works for me also. Just switching in between the Sonos app and Youtube app gets the video to play everytime

     

    edit: I have youtube premium and this only works for a few minutes if you leave the app before the error pops up again

      They must have finally fixed it. It has been flawless in the last few days. Hopefully, it doesn’t happen again. Thanks Sonos Team.
