Play five music fades in and out lately

Using Spotify. On Google pixel.

Super annoying. Don't know if it's a Sonos or Spotify issue. Have had tons of connection issues through Spotify connect too ( although this particular issue is happening directly through the Sonos app)

    Hi

    I suggest that you power down these devices for 10 secs, allowing each one to complete it's boot sequence before moving to the next:

    Router
    Any wired network switch
    Any wired Sonos device
    All other Sonos devices
    If possible all other connected devices but I realise this may involve a lot!
    Remember: Sometimes Red Wine helps :)

    That didn't fix it. It seems to be getting worse. Its happening with both Spotify and Google play music. Could someone please investigate my diagnostic number?

    Hi, jimmydddd. Unfortunately, that error log did not contain an occurrence of the issue. Can you wait for the problem to happen again and then send further diagnostics? What else is within close proximity of the device? Many thanks.

    I have an amazon alexa dot sitting on top of it, but even if I unplug it the problem still happens.

    Hi,
    Right now it says music is playing in the Sonos app, the volume is at 100% and the sound is barely noticeable coming out of the speaker. I need to put my ear against the speaker to hear anything. I tested this on both my Pixel and wife's iPhone and it's the same problem. I'm pretty certain it's a problem with the speaker.

    Jimmydddd - did the phone team fix your problem? I have the same issue with my Play 5. Fades in and out to almost imperceptible volume. I reset modem and router while speaker unplugged. Didn't help. Checked Wifi speed, no issues (and a Play 3 in a room farther away from router works fine). Diagnostic when running all speakers: 959508078. Diagnostic when playing just Play 5 at issue: 2060050899.
