Sonos System No Longer Found Mac

Hello!

Not sure if it's Mac OS related or Sonos app related but I can no longer find my system on my Mac mini. My iPhone works fine and my MacBook Pro also works fine discovering the system. I have deleted the app and reinstalled, made sure network and firewall access was enabled and still nothing. Anyone have similar issue with a fix?

Not really enough information to tell, I’m afraid. Kneejerk thought is a network issue, potentially with you Mac connected to a different ‘node’ than your other devices, and getting put on a different subnet….but as I say, that’s just a guess. Have you called Sonos Support to discuss it?

FWIW, toggling the “local network” permission also fixed it for me.

  1. Open “Settings”
  2. Go to “Privacy & Security > Local Network”
  3. Find “Sonos” in list and toggle it on/off a couple of times (making sure to leave it toggled ON)

    I will have to try this again. I did this once and it didn’t change anything but will try the toggling couple times.

    I’ve run into something similar before. Sometimes the Mac app just gets stuck with old network info. A few things that usually help: make sure your Mac mini is on the same WiFi network as your Sonos devices, try restarting both the Mac and your router, and check if any VPN or firewall settings are blocking local network access. If that doesn’t work, try removing the app completely and also deleting its preference files before reinstalling, that often clears the issue.
