The Living room has two Play 5 (Gen 1) configured with stereo and a Sub. One speaker (on the left) won’t play the split stereo sound.  I’ve disconnected the power to the Bridge and re-started it.  When I try TRuplay, it stops because it can’t hear the one speaker.  I switched the sides of where the Play 5s, and the trouble switched from the right side to the left.  I disconnected the sub and that did nothing.  I repeatedly disconnected the stereo configuration and then reconnected it.  

In the media room has a soundbar connected to the TV and a Sonos Connect that runs our turntable.  So far the problems have been isolated to the Living Room.

Any advice is appreciated.  Do I have a dead Play 5?  

Thanks. 

Try removing the Bridge and connect a speaker by cable instead. Separate the stereo pair, set the speakers as two rooms; can you play to each of them?

The Bridge is obsolete and has been found to be the cause of many hard to identify problems. 

If the Ethernet connection works you can leave it or switch your system to Wi-Fi mode and go wireless.

Thanks for the suggestions
