Airplay can not connect to Era 100

Hi Sonos Loves,

 

I recently got a pair of Sonos Era 100 speakers, and they worked perfectly for about a week. However, AirPlay has stopped functioning. While Bluetooth and the Sonos app are working fine, the AirPlay issue has been quite frustrating.

I have an iPhone 12 with the latest iOS, and I’ve updated all firmware and the Sonos app. I’ve also tried several community-recommended tips, but nothing seems to resolve the issue.

 

Appreciate any tips

    In my previous experience, rebooting my iPhone or iPad has restored AirPlay 2 connections.

    to clarify,

     

    To me the problem is Airplay 1, I have the issue with LMS (Lyrion music server) runnning on a RPI 5. From iTunes running on windows 11 the problem is the same.  Airplay 2, which is the protocol of newer idevices, is working as expected. 
    Unfortunately I do not have an older idevices to chec my theory.

    but this issue has to do with Apple Music as Spotify actually works so I definitely will be reading something from them also. 

     

    This is my experience as well.  Using Apple Music on my iPhone works with every other Sonos speaker via Airplay but the Era 100.  Spotify connects just fine however to the Era 100 (and all the other Sonos speakers) via Airplay.  I have an iPhone 16 with latest iOS installed.

      Sonos has never, to my knowledge, claimed to connect via AirPlay 1. If memory serves, they’ve only supported AirPlay 2.

      No, I had used it always via airplay from the same RPI running LMS, with the last speakers firmware update the Era 100 stopped working. Others Sonos models in my house are working perfectly good. 
      Sonos support also confirmed me that the era 100 support airplay 1 and 2. 
       

      Come on Sonos!!
