Sonos One not showing up in Apple TV audio output

Hi,

I’ve been using 2 Sonos One and 1 play:5 on my Apple TV with no issues for a year. After last Sunday’s Sonos update suddenly they stopped showing up on Apple TV → Settings → Video and Audio → Default Audio Output. 

I’ve tried restarting all devices, making sure AirPlay is on on my Apple TV. None worked.

I tried AirPlay from my iPhone to those Sonos speakers and it worked. Just not showing up on Apple TV.

 

Any help would be appreciated 

 

Thanks!

I face the same issue here in Singapore. Cannot find my Sonos Play 5 listed in the Settings → Video & Audio → Audio Output of my Apple TV 4K since the last update. However, a workaround worked for me.

Long press the TV button on your Apple TV remote. A sliding window should appear and there you would see an Airplay selection menu. I could find my Sonos Play 5 under that and it works perfectly.

I cannot select any of my Sonos Box (2x One, 1x Beam) in the AppleTV default device settings after the latest AppleTV Update - before that everything worked fine. The long remote trick only works for the Sonos One but not my Sonos Beam - which often break connection anyway even after several WLAN channel switches. I can select Sonos Beam but after 1 min AppleTV tells me that connection could not  be established.

Thanks
