sonos port not working as upnp renderer from foobar2000

Hi my sonos port no longer works as a upnp renderer using foobar2000 on windows as the client/controller. Interestingly I'm able to use my Roam as a renderer and all speakers in my s1 system also work OK as renderer too from the same PC.

 

Even more confusing is that BubbleUPnP (android app) IS able to send a UPnP stream to the Port.

Hi @groove_regulator 

One more question for you - what version of Windows is your foobar2000 installed on? We’ve been testing on Windows 11 up to this point.

I wonder if my Port simply has a H/W fault…. will leave it to you guys :)

Hi @groove_regulator 

Thanks for that!

I’m pretty sure this is a software issue - with hardware issues, things tend to either work or not work, and they don’t get so weirdly specific.

My colleague has had to order himself a Port (we’re mostly all working from home, so don’t have immediate access to all models) to test properly - so far, he’s been testing on an Amp and has been unable to reproduce the behaviour. I’ll get back to you in a day or three.

thanks @Corry P fingers crossed we get to the bottom of it, I’m able to reproduce it with 2 different PCs btw (both Windows 10). One using an ethernet connection to the LAN, the other PC using Wifi (not sure that would be material but worth knowing all the same)

    Hi @groove_regulator 

    Using Windows 10 build 19045, a Port and the same versions of foobar2000 and it’s UPnP plugin as yourself, my colleague was unable to recreate this issue you’re seeing.

    He isn’t sure where he can find the same Windows build as you are on (19044), however, so we’re wondering if you can a) update your computer to Windows 10 build 19045 or let us know if the other computer you tested from is on 19045 already and b) send us a sample file that you know causes the problem. It’s just the file used and the exact build of Windows that separates your setup from my colleague’s at the moment, and we’d like to close the gap as much as we can.

    If you don’t have access to a file-sharing cloud service, please let me know and I’ll message you an email address to use instead.

    My thanks.

    Hi @groove_regulator 

    That is some unexpected good news! I’m glad to hear it’s working for you again.

    I guess we’ll never know what was going on there. If it ever happens again, my first recommendation would now be to reboot the unit by unplugging it from power for a time.

    You are most welcome!
