Hello,

How come after so long time, the airplay issue was not solved. It is a main functionality. Already reported some months ago. Basically, if you stream from an airplay device using realitimeaudio, not buffered, after some time no audio is playing. Try using plex or vlc on apple tv, or stream audio from a macbook to sonos.

Do you guys have this issue?

BTW, youtube or apple music is buffered audio, so no problems here.

What i believe is that Sonos is not updating the airplay protocol when Apple makes changes. Maybe a miscommunication there. Not sure this is the problem but maybe?! I don’t have problems on homepod and plex/vlc via apple tv.

Airplay broke on devices which are not made by Apple unfortunately (although some users seem unaffected) in iOS 16.2 and they pulled HomeKit because of it. Currently if you remove devices from Apple Home and factory reset (not adding back into Home)  the device then works.
