ERA 300 Airplay

Hi,

I have two ERA 300 speakers running as a group in my living room.

When I try to play via Airplay sound only comes from one speaker.

If I manually power on the second speaker in the group I get a message that my Apple Music subscription is only for one device.

Airplay is seeing the two grouped speakers as two devices.

If the speakers are then connected as a stereo pair both speakers work fine.

Is there any way around this issue?

Hello @handsOFFboy, welcome to the Sonos Community!

The above makes me think that you are grouping the speakers via Airplay and this is not going to work. You need group the Sonos rooms via the Sonos App first and then target one Sonos room via Airplay.

Let us know if this helped.

Thanks for the suggestion,

I actually got them working from the Airplay app, selected each speaker in the group and it worked fine.
