About two days ago (Aug 8th 2019), Spotify no longer connects to my Sonos speakers. This has been working up until then. Logged in to Spotify, I see my Sonos speakers, try to connect and nothing happens. Using Apple phone, Windows 10 Surface. Removed the Spotify service on Sonos and re-added. Spotify won't even connect to airplay. I'm on the same network as the speakers, and they don't show up (though they used to), and I can't manually add them. I can still connect to my Sonos speakers when I use the desktop version of Spotify, and I can play Spotify if I go through the Sonos app on my phone - so the issue seems to be the Spotify. For example, songs are skipped or I get the message 'Connection to Spotify lost. File not found 'o.i.d. I have this not only when I want to play music in the living room (Sonos 5.1 - 1x ARC, 2x Play: 1 and 1x SUB), but also when I want to play music via the Play: 1 in the study. The ARC is connected to the network with an Ethernet cable. Enable access for Sonos on this list to let the Sonos app connect. Try these quick fixes first and see if your Sonos app reconnects to your system. Check the power to your Sonos product. Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in to both the Sonos product and the power outlet. By default, your Sonos product will show a solid. If you use a VPN connection on your mobile device or computer, turn it off and check if your Sonos app reconnects to your system. If Sonos is wired to your router, check the Ethernet cable. Make sure that the Ethernet cable is firmly plugged in to both the router and your Sonos product.
Easily find and play the music you love with Spotify and Sonos. What’s more, you can voice control your tunes with Alexa.
Note: If you can’t find your Sonos speaker in your Spotify Connect list of devices, update your Sonos speaker.
