So this problem emerged today. It is like I have suddenly lost a channel. I am only getting part of a song. Let me explain it this way. I am playing the new Decemberists album and none of my speakers are getting the vocal. They all have only the backing track.

i have rebooted the system, updated my speakers. I am at a loss. This just became an issue today.

sny suggestions? Thanks!

What’s the source? Karaoke track maybe?

Ha! No. I have tested the track via my phone and it is there. Also other songs feel like a piece is missing or diminished. It is like the app thinks there is a surround or stereo setting, when there isn’t.

I am starting to wonder if this is about Apple Music talking to Sonos. Other music apps are fine.

I’ve recently listened to that album on Apple Music, no issue.

Are your speakers in stereo pairs or single standalone? If single speakers try stereo pairs and see if it sounds right.

My speakers are all set as standalone since they are all in different rooms. Like I said, I have never had this issue before. I wonder if removing Apple Music and adding it back on might help.

That’s a possibility. However, if you are streaming from the Apple server….check your routers admin page for updates? If all OK I still suggest you reboot it.

Yeah removing and adding Apple Music might fix it.

In standalone the speakers play the music in mono, l+r tracks together. Some recordings when played back like this cancel out due to phasing. If you can test some speakers in a pair it’s worth a shot

Removed Apple Music and then put it back on Sonos. It won’t play at all. So I put it down as a new app issue again. Sigh…

Okay, Apple Music is playing again but still don’t have vocal. Is there a place in settings to tell the speakers to be mono? I just have stereo pairing off?
