I absolutely hate the Sonos software system, it’s great sound and I have bought so much Sonos gear that now I’m committed, but I can’t believe how terrible the software riders are for this company! Everyone in that whole division should be fired. If I was Elon Musk, I would buy this company and fire every single employee that works there. I am currently trying to access my Sonos system using my Sonos app, I am currently playing music through multiple speakers using my Spotify, but guess what the Sonos app says… Can’t find your system!!! This is garbage shit, I really can’t stand how terrible this is that if I’ve ever become a billionaire, I’m going to buy Sonos and fire everyone
Whereas I’m just wondering if you ‘perhaps’ have a multicast ‘device discovery’ issue across your network that’s preventing the controller device from communicating with your Sonos speakers. See attached re: SSDP/mDNS.
Such communication failure can occur across networks that use WiFi extenders, EoP adapters, or if managed switches are misconfigured. It can also happen if some settings on a local router are incorrect, or there’s software running on the mobile device that is getting in the way of the multicast communication, such as security software, VPN client, firewall, site blockers etc.
I’d perhaps investigate further in the areas mentioned and if still no luck, then it maybe best to reproduce the issue(s) seen and then immediately submit a Sonos system diagnostic report from within the Sonos App, note it’s reference and contact/chat with Sonos Support Staff via this LINK and see what the Staff can perhaps suggest to help you to resolve the matter.
