Speakers not playing spotify or will start playing then stop.

Speakers not playing spotify or will start playing then stop. I have 15 speakers 12 are connected through ethernet. 3 on wifi. Same network I have had been using for years. Now either the speakers will not start playing or will only play the ones on the wired network. I have not made any changes to the network either or moved speakers around.

Take a look at the Best Practices post below for Unifi:

It appears that something is inaccurate with your network in that speakers wired will play but not those on WiFi (interference of some sort). Tell us more about your network:

  • Is all equipment (router/modem and satellites if a mesh) provided by ISP
  • Do you own your router and/or mesh satellites

I have all unifi equipment and AP’s. No other brands or switches. No mesh. Like I had mentioned, it was working great with no problems. Then about 2 weeks ago it started.

My Ubiquity gear notified me of several updates recently,  so you might check to see if they changed something you were depending on.

Thanks all. I disabled the Sonosnet again and it started working properly again. An update must have turned it back on.

You should disable SonosNet in the Sonos app.  Also I think I read that UniFi behaves better if all Sonos devices  are on WiFi.
