Interesting: symptoms vary depending on the streaming application. Not primarily network related as occurred right after the iOS update. Not device related as all the ones working under the new OS version are impacted while the ones not migrated are working fine. Same here, streaming from iDevice via AirPlay stopped being reliable since iOS 16. here are couple of common suggestions to look at if it does start to look like it might be local network latency: If you still get dropouts with various smaller/different groups, that might go some of the way to suggest it’s possibly an iOS 16 issue and if the smaller groups play fine, then I would perhaps look at it possibly being network latency and an interference issue, for which there are many posts here in the community that provide suggestions to resolving those type of issues. I don’t have HomePods to test these things myself, but it might be worth seeing if separating your speakers into smaller groups by ‘manufacturer/brand’ only might make a difference. Very rare do I exceed 6 Sonos rooms when grouping. With Airplay-v1 there used to be a ‘recommendation’ by many users, and software Apps, to not group more than 6 Airplay devices for playback, but I’ve never seen anything relating to Airplay-v2. However personally I tend to stick to that unwritten rule and often only ever Airplay to one Sonos device and then do all ‘grouping’ in the Sonos App, as that always seemed far more reliable in my own use-case. Its difficult to answer your post Josh, as the issue could be iOS 16 related, or perhaps Network related as networks can change too and be affected by many external factors. The system was previously working fine.Īny idea on a fix? Has anyone been experiencing anything similar? May this be related to an iOS 16 bug? My system consists of: Sonos Arc connected to 2 Sonos Ones and a Sub, 2 IKEA Symfonisk bookshelves, 1 IKEA Symfonisk Picture Frame Speaker, 1 Sonos Roam, and 5 HomePod Minis (2 in stereo pair, another 2 in stereo pair connected via Apple TV). This problem persists when I do not use the shortcut and manually add the speakers - system still drops. The speakers do not drop when some are connected and not others. I have also changed phones, and the problem persists. I use an iOS Shortcut to automatically connect all my speakers from my iPhone. I have tried: resetting my router, resetting all speakers, removing/adding each speaker to see if one particular speaker was the culprit. There are lots of other equally good companies out there competing for a share of this market maybe they will offer a better first time experience.Ever since updating to the latest stable iOS 16, I have been having a problem where my Sonos/Airplay system keeps dropping to my iPhone when all speakers are connected. The one thing you are right about is Sonos is not for me, error of judgement and I will indeed be returning the items in the morning. My impression of Sonos has now been damaged. Why remove the ability to set up a new customers equipment whilst you tweak its method of operation even for only a few hours, unnecessary. That moment of joy and excitement when you buy yourself a new toy be it car, boat, computer or speakers and take it out of its packet for the first time should be savoured and relished and set the tone for the start of new ownership mine has been shot down and dumped, no, not acceptable. You are missing the point entirely, I fully understand there are interdependent aspects at work here but when you spend a not insignificant sum in a shop take it home and it fails to work and someone blandly says wait a while until they solve the problem you think why should I have to? Would you be happy to park your new car in the garage for a few hours if the dealer says sorry the key has to be taken away it works but we don’t like the colour we gave you and want to change it.
