I have been very happy with my Sonos set-up that has 10+ speakers. Now I had app update and everything seems very difficult. Connection between Sonos and Spotify that has worked before is now delayed and not working. Is this due to some known error or is it then in my WiFi connection?
Really frustrating to have all these speakers around the house and the play music from portable JBL Bluetooth speaker.
Most often, delays are caused by network issues, between your controller and router, or the router and the speakers. I’d certainly check the wifi interference FAQ, as well as performing a Sonos network refresh, by unplugging your Sonos devices from power (or powering them off, if battery connected), and rebooting your router. Once the router has recovered, power back on your Sonos devices. This will give them both a fresh IP address, as well as a refresh of the Sonos OS. Finally, check your system for updates, in case there are any that need to be applied.
If that doesn’t ‘fix’ things, I would recommend that you submit a system diagnostic within 10 minutes of experiencing this problem, and call Sonos Support to discuss it. But don’t post the resulting diagnostic number here, they get sensitive about GDPR.
There may be information included in the diagnostic that will help Sonos pinpoint the issue and help you find a solution.
When you speak directly to the Support staff, they have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your network and Sonos system.
I suggest that you refrain from Factory Reset without further consult. While the Factory Reset might (temporarily) work through an issue, it’s a lot of extra work and rarely resolves fundamental issues.
