    Hi ​@Symphony et al

    Welcome to the Sonos Community!

    We are aware of an issue whereby some Sonos speakers will be unable to play AirPlay feeds from a Windows PC running iTunes software, and we are investigating. We have no estimate for when a fix might be put in place, but I will update this thread when I hear of it.

    In the meantime, you should be able to play to affected speakers by AirPlay-ing to speakers not affected and grouping the intended speakers in with it, where this is an option. Era 100, Era 300 and Move 2 speakers are affected by this issue.

    I hope this helps.

    I understand that a problem need time to be fixed, what a I don’t understand an is a big qaqc fail, is first broke things that were working an second, not fixed fast.  

     

    FWIW, Apple Music on Windows does not AirPlay to my LG TV, I can AirPlay from Apple Music on iPhone to TV. Windows Apple Music AirPlay issues are NOT specific to Sonos devices.

    Therefore it must be true that AirPlay on Windows (or other non Apple OS) is behaving differently than on an Apple OS, as AirPlay is part of Apple OS, but a ‘bolt-on’ for Windows.

      For sure is Apple or Microsoft fault….not Sonos.

      April 5, 2025: I’m having this exact problem with my new Era 100 speakers (Airplay not working from Windows). I just got off the phone with Sonos support, the guy was great but had no solution (so this issue apparently not in their knowledgebase). 

      I tried both iTunes and Tuneblade on Windows, and both nonworking (at least to Era 100). But both work fine to other Airplay devices. Certainly indicates that it is definitely a Sonos issue.

      It is frustrating call Sonos support and receive answers totally wrong like Sonos era is only Airplay 2 and also answers like the problem is not in the base…6 months and the problem is not fixed.

        What devices work fine? I am unable to AirPlay from Windows to any non-Apple AirPlay device, eg LG TV.
