same computer different user

I use my Sonos speaker for my computer set up. When I log on it connects perfectly but when my son logs onto his side of the computer the speaker won't connect. Airplay can see it but it won't connect.

 

There should be no issue as I don't need the speaker except with the computer. Can I set it up to allow the computer to connect regardless of user?

 

Cheers

Which speaker, how is it connected to your computer?

I'm using an Ikea symfonisk and it's connected over wifi.

Maybe install the Sonos controller for all users?

This sounds like a user permissions issue.  Are there restrictions on your son’s login that don’t apply to yours?  Do both of you have your home WiFi network treated as Private rather than Public?
