flac file no sound

I have ripped a CD to my NAS as a FLAC 16 bit file but when I try to play it back on my Play 3 or Beam there is no sound even though the track timer is moving along. 
It plays fine if I play it back on my laptop.

Any clues what I am doing wrong please?

No the speaker is not muted. 
Sample rate is 44100Hz.

Hi,

 

Sonos currently support only mono and stereo FLAC encodings, with the first channel being the left, and the second channel being the right.

 

can you check how many channels it has

 

Regards,
