Having all sorts of bizarre issues with portables as rears all of a sudden. Anyone else had this in the past few days? Was working sweet when the update came out… is it a ios27 thing?

 

Speakers are showing, they’re optioned to be used as surrounds, but now they’re immediately going offline. Is this a known issue?

Are you sure that they are awake?

Yeah def sure. Was working perfectly first few days of the update and sporadically last night and now straight from setting to of going not in use/offline. Weird behaviour.

1/ Remove the surround speakers

2/ Move the Sonos Play to another room and perform a factory reset

3/ Add it back to the system (a matter of a few seconds for portable units)

4/ Set it up as a surround speaker again and add it to the Beam 2.

This should work...

That has appeared to work! Not sure why I had to reset, but once completed this process seamlessly connected again. 
 

Will keep in mind as first step if I have issues again! Thanks Palco!
