Hello @jakberridge. Welcome to the Community. I understand that you are losing connection to Spotify. Your Bridge is inconsistently losing connection to the network. Even if it is only for a fraction of a second, this can cause the speakers to lose connection to the Spotify server.

This is most likely caused by a faulty Ethernet cable. Are you able to replace the cable that your Bridge is using?

Mine is still not working 😭 

Correction, it just started playing, despite seeing the error! And now I have control again!

Those reporting that Spotify is working now, is it working for you without any hiccups? Mine seems to be playing every other song, but at least I’m not getting the error message anymore.

Also getting the Spotify connection lost issue. Pandora works just fine. This is very frustrating.

Spotify is now working with Sonos, at least for me.

This happens to me several times a day now and causes songs to pause, skip or play again and has become very frustrating. Tried deleting and reinstalling spotify on sonos but has not helped. Connected wirelessly so shouldn’t(?) be any ethernet port issues.

Hi @rhalrm. Thanks for posting.

I have taken a look at your diagnostic and I do see interference present on the Sonos system. To assess where this may be coming from, would you be able to hardwire the Sonos player directly to the router and let me know if the audio plays more reliably?

Hi Adam, thanks for the reply.

I have had the ethernet cable connected a couple days now and the problem is still happening multiple times a day. I first tried just with the cable and then with the cable but also disabling wifi on sonos but the problem continued with both.
