Spotify loses connection with my Play5 Gen 2 when streaming both when initiated from within the Sonos app or directly from Spotify. No issues streaming to Beam, Sub, Play1 SL and Play 1 on the same system. all software versions up-to-date. This is a recent issue?
The Spotify service is playing direct to your speaker when playing through the Sonos App - so it’s possibly having connection issues to the local network. It’s not clear what troubleshooting you may have done already yourself, so here’s a few questions…
- Is it wired/wireless?
- Does it connect to your router or a different access point?
- Are any other Sonos devices wired to the router?
- Have you tried rebooting the router/speaker?
- Have you tried a different WiFi channel?
- Does it work if you bring it nearer to your router?
Thanks Ken - i will work through those suggestions and see what happens.
Ken,
I've had some success so far by following your suggestions:
I removed my Beam device from the router which was hard-wired directly (something I did some time ago but had forgotten about!). The Beam is now wireless.
I powered the router off/on.
I powered the Play 5/gen 2 off/on.
I powered my Samsung S7 off/on after force-stopping the Sonos app.
So far so good! I can now stream directly from the Spotify app to the Play 5 or run Spotify from inside the Sonos app. Been running for 15 mins now without any problems - fingers crossed!
Thanks alot for your time.
