AirPlay malfunction After updating my phones and iPad to iOS 16.2, my Airplay stopped functioning with my Denon and Marantz receivers. I have tried resetting my phone, modem, routers and receivers. Still nothing. Prior to iOS 16.2 it worked fine. It still works with AppleTV and iPods without a problem. Any suggestions?

Out of the blue, AirPlay not longer working with Sonos. Two hours ago I was happily listening to a podcast via Apple app and then, out of the blue, AirPlay is not connecting anymore. I can only play through the Sonos app. It seems to be an issue since the latest update iOS16.1.2 I use an iPhone 13 mini and an iPad. I have restarted all my devices, deleted and reinstalled the Sonos app, nothing helps. The recent update really stuffed things up. It’s definitely not my device as all iOS devices in the household (three iPhones, two iPads, two MB Air) have stopped working through AirPlay. It’s Apple. Or Sonos. Or both. Though I very much doubt it’ll work, I am now considering a hard reset of the speaker (Ikea Symfonisk Picture Frame) but before I do so, are there any other tricks I could try? I don’t want to use the Sonos app for my music. I pay Apple. And I want to be able to see the lyrics of songs. Not possible with Sono. Very disappointing. On a Sonos forum it was suggested to switch the off the ‘Private WiFi Address’ but, unfortunately, it did not do the trick for me. Suggestions on how to fix this very welcome!

iOS 16 AirPlay isn’t working with HBO, and Disney app Hi, I’m experiencing issues with AirPlay from iPhone SE 3rd to Apple TV 3rd. YouTube works fine, screen mirroring too. What is not working is streaming to HBO MAX and Disney. Application seems to see Apple TV but simply when you start anything it gives error. Its must be related to this update because on other phones with iOS 15.7 everything works fine. Is this known bug ? Do you have same problem ?

It took me a while to figure it out, but I forgot to setup the speakers in stereo mode. The instructions were written in China and in really small print. But once I paired the speakers together, now they play in stereo!

What kind of speakers? Are they set up as a stereo pair?
