I’ve read some of the threads on here about Airplay 1 support being broken with a firmware, which, if I’m reading correctly, have been resolve? I’m not sure if my issue is related but I’ll try to describe it as best I can.
I have an Era 100 that I purchased several years back, and which I use pretty exclusively by Airplaying from Lyrion Music Server with the Airplay Bridge plugin (which uses ROAP protocol). I just purchased a second Era 100, and opened up my Sonos app for the first time in years so that I could set it up. While I was at it I updated the software on my older Era 100, and now both speakers are running version 93.1-74010. This was the first time I updated the software on the older speaker since I bought it, and maybe that’s why I never ran into the issue where an update broke Airplay 1 support for over a year or so.
But now I find that the older speaker works with Airplay 1 just fine, but the newer one does not. Both speakers can be used as a device from the Spotify app on my Android phone, as well as from the Sonos app.
Using the diagnostic information you can see at http://192.168.10.94:1400/support/review the “Zone Player Info” tells me that everything about the speakers is identical except for the following fields (not counting obvious fields like serial number):
Old Era 100 (works with Airplay 1)
- HardwareVersion 1.38.1.10-1.2
- SeriesID A102
New Era 100 (does not work with Airplay 1)
- HardwareVersion 1.49.1.4-1.2
- SeriesID A200
Any ideas on what I should try or if there’s any more information I can provide that might be helpful?
