Since updating to the latest macOS (RoonCore) and the latest iOS and iPadOS version (RoonRemote), RoonCore cannot establish a Sonos streaming connection to some Sonos products. Before this worked without problems.
The connection via Airplay works.
Experiencing the same issue starting today. Sonos streaming does not work suddenly. It affects all, but a Sonos One… My Sonos Port, and Sonos One SL models are not working. I get a “Roon lost control of the audio device.” They still work when Roon streams via airplay.
No issues with Sonos streaming outside of Roon. Tried rebooting Roon and all speakers as well.
I got the same error message “Roon lost control of the audio device” today and switched to AirPlay protocol.
Affected devices:
Same problem here. I get a “Roon lost control of the audio device” when streaming to Sonos One.
No issues with Sonos streaming outside of Roon. No issues streaming Roon to non-Sonos devices.
The same problem started for me today as well:
streaming to Sonos devices via Sonos streaming stops after a few seconds with the message “Roon lost control of the audio device”. No music plays, the progress bar moves one second ahead and then gets stuck there
Airplay to Sonos works fine
The issue seems to have started for me when I updated my Sonos devices earlier today with a new Sonos software version.
Thanks for noting the Sonos update. Looks like Sonos 15.2 update was released on 3/27. I checked my system and it looks like it moved to this update and since doing so broke Roon compatibility with Sonos.
Hopefully Roon will issue a quick fix.

Thanks for the warning - I’ve just turned off auto update on my Sonos and will wait for a fix
Interestingly, the old Play:3, a pair of play:1 and my playbar still work via Sonos streaming. At the same time there was also an update at Apple and I thought it would be due to this update.
Many of my Sonos speakers are hardwired, but are no longer working since the update. I actually have one Sonos One that still works and that one is connected via wifi.
After verifying on each device, I am also seeing mixed results.

Sonos S2 devices without AirPlay have fallen off the Roon audio zone menu after Roon updated to v2.0 build 1234.
No amount of rebooting, devices, routers, roon will fix the issue, for me. Reading leads me to believe this is a Roon server issue.
Is there a Roon ticket for this issue?
Hi All,
Thanks for the reports here. We’ve enabled diagnostics mode for those impacted, but we are not seeing any specific errors yet. For those impacted, can you please:
We’ll then take another look at your diagnostics once we have the above info, thanks!
I have the same issue for any media played. Roon loses control of the device. Sonos AirPlay works. My Roon core on a MiniMac M1, using Roon Server.
Please add me to the list of affected users.
