iPhone 8 refuses to connect to Airplay 2 device
My iPhone 8 intermittently refuses to connect to my Sonos speaker via Airplay 2.
Once connected, it works flawlessly.
The problem is that it sometimes refuses to connect.
To be exact, the device appears as available and very briefly appears to connect, but no sound is produced, then after 2 or 3 seconds, something flashes across the screen (too quickly to read), then it disconnects and disappears from the device list.
It then reappears as an available Airplay device and the same occurs each time you re-try!
If I force-reboot the iPhone, it solves the issue, but I’m looking to get to the root-cause and try to prevent it continually re-occurring.
Note the following has NO EFFECT:
1) Rebooting the speaker.
2) Updating the speaker.
3) Switching Wi-Fi off/on.
4) Applying latest iPhone update.
5) Rebooting Wi-fi access point.
6) Force-quitting “Music” app.
When the issue occurs, I am still able to connect to the device using the Sonos app, so the problem is definitely a bug with AirPlay 2.
Have other people encountered similar issues and if so, is anyone aware of any proper fix for this (rather than having to force-boot the iPhone all the time)!
