Audio from iMac stopped

My SONOS app has defaulted to SPDIF for the audio output from my iMac - it used to be PCM - Stereo - the result is that it no longer works on my Playbar…. HELP

Hi @MstaggieM 

In case anyone has not tried this functionality in a while, all Sonos products should now be able to play from an optical input.

If you are still having this problem, please ensure your Sonos system is up to date: Settings icon » Manage » System Updates » Check for Updates

I hope this helps.

Hi there—I’m having the same exact issue now with my Playbar. Did you ever find a solve here?

I gave up. But last week I once again deleted the Sonos app and re downloaded it on to my iPhone and the Playbar started playing sounds from my iMac. No idea why this now worked as I’d previously tried this and it didn’t work then. The input still shows SPDIF. I didn’t alter any settings on my iMac. Totally mystifying.
