I have two Sonos setups attached to Home Assistant; Living Room and Bedroom. The Living Room is an Arc Ultra surround system, the Bedroom is a pair of Play 1’s.
Until recently, I haven’t had any issues streaming, playing mp3 files or TTS announcements from HA to both systems.
I came home from an extended vacation and applied a slew of updates. I’m now at:
Hardware: Home Assistant Yellow
Installation method: Home Assistant OS
Core: 2025.8.1
Supervisor: 2025.08.1
Operating System: 16.0
Frontend: 20250811.0
The Bedroom system continues to work as expected.
I’m now having two (possibly related) issues with the Living Room (Arc Ultra) system.
-
It will no longer play mp3 files from the My Media folder. However, if I copy the file from My Media to a folder on the attached Network Storage, it will play from there. (The Bedroom system will play the file from either location.)
-
TTS announcements no longer play. I have ElevenLabs, Google Translate, Home Assistant Cloud and Piper set up. None of them will play through the Living Room, all play through the Bedroom.
I can’t see anything related in the logs. I’ve tried removing and re-adding the integration and removing and re-adding the system in the Sonos app.
I’ve gone through extended troubleshooting with ChatGPT and haven’t been able to resolve it. It’s suggesting that it’s related to Living Room being a surround system and potentially caused by a code change within the integration.
Your help sure would be appreciated!
