My entire system mutes randomly and without touching any buttons, The voice Assistance not activated and that's not what appears to be causing it. Are there any solutions? I have updated my system.

Hi @jpnort 

I do have an update - we now consider this issue to be resolved. We were not expecting to see new reports of this issue at all.

Please ensure both your Sonos system and your Sonos app are fully up-to-date, and if you still see this muting occur, I recommend you get in touch with our technical support team to report as much - if they are unable to resolve the issue, we may have to reopen the ticket for further investigation.

I hope this helps.

I "fixed" it by turning off automatic updates in the app.

Pretty sad when Sonos users have to fix Sonos issues, new app is buggy as hell.

Think Softronic / Sonos have pulled the 16.1 App in the link above.

Seems it seems now it sends you to the “BugFest v80” now

EDIT:

Further down the post is one of the original 16.1 versions

Same issue. Sonos beam and sonos amp randomly muting themselves while watching TV. I'm not sure the sonos app or anything. 

Also, my other speaks sonos one, all have the green light (muted) every morning. So they muted overnight.

Did you have to reset the speakers or do anything else?

Mines been stable without issue for the last six hours, apart from going back to 16.1, I have done nothing else.

TBH if issues persist, then it cannot be the app. I would then suspect the firmware O/S that has been uploaded to each individual Sonos component.

All my units are running on build 16.2 (79154060).

As a process of elimination, I would next try turning off any device loaded with the Sonos app.

Sonos has direct access to your devices, the corruption / data could be coming from them?

If problems persist with no app running within your Sonos sub network, then the problem must be manifesting itself externally

All mine are also running on build 16.2 (79154060).

 

When you mean 'turning off any device loaded with the Sonos app'. You have to restart the phone and not just uninstall?
