Odd Sonos Port behavior.

I have a Shortcut that clears the queue for each of the 5 rooms that were grouped.  Then the rooms are ungrouped.  After that shortcut runs the Port which is plugged into a DAC just starts playing something random.  When you look at the Port in the Sonos app it shows what random track is playing but the queue is empty.  The track playing looks like one from my library.

Is it possible either Lyd or Sonify might have something to do with this wierdness?

Regarding your 3rd party apps I would run a test each of them being closed completely and not running in the background or on another device. 

The other thing I recommend is talking to Sonos support and sending a diagnostic directly after forcing that behavior. They should be able to see what source is starting playback and why it’s initiated.

I figured it out.  Because I made the Port an Open Home renderer using Bubble UPnP I decided to look in the Lumin Music app queue.  Sure enough that album was showing in the queue.

If that ever happens again i have added the Soro Shortcut action Play URL with the URL being http://0.0.0.  That cleared the Now Playing screen.
