I always play my music through my Windows computer using iTunes or Apple Music, I have a very extensive library. Last week my Era 100’s stopped playing when using Airplay. Airplay works on my Roam still, and the Era 100’s work with other connections, just not Airplay. I tried Airplay through my iPhone, and same issue. Anybody have a solution to this?

Era 100 won't play using Airplay?

As far as I know it’s definitely a bug of the latest Sonos speakers that come with wifi 6 support. The list of affected devices is:
Era100, Era300, Move2, Arc Ultra
And the problem only exists using Airplay from within Windows iTunes / Apple Music app.
Airplay from Apple devices to the mentioned devices works fine.
Imho the question is what is causing the problem in combination with windows. And it also happens even if you are not using a wifi 6 router.
The Sonos devices are visible as Airplay devices, you can connect to them, audio is playing on iTunes/ Apple Music app but there is no sound on the connected Sonos speaker. Switching Airplay to another Sonos (non wifi 6) device immediately plays audio on the selected speaker.

I’ve had ongoing Mac to Era 100 AirPlay issues. Unfortunately, this update has not fixed the problem for me.
Same here. I just ran the update and still no AirPlay from Apple Music app (windows) to Era 100 for me. Other speakers (One, One SL, Beam) are still working fine with AirPlay.
