It is my understanding Apple no longer supports the Aiplay speakers from Bowers & Wilkins. I bought the A7 A5 because of this feature, @ about $1,500 . What is going on? I would like response from Apple, both devices this past week disappeared from my network this past week after an update to 13.6.1. I am using 2017 27" 4.2 quad-core w/16 gb memory.
iMac (2017 – 2020)
Airplay is a technology that cannot turn on and off support for specific devices. You should contact Bowers & Wilkins tech support. Apple could certainly change the Airplay specification, but that would render a very wide swath of products useless, not just yours.
There are five B&W speakers listed on Apple's Airplay list.

Just to add, Apple doesn't stop supporting any particular product. It's possible that the speakers may need a firmware update for Ventura.
Thank you all, you were all correct. Updated firmware, issue is resolved. I should have know better...
Thank you once more; Happy Thanksgiving!

I try. 😎
See what B&W has to say.
Apple is not here. It may be true but where did your understanding come from?
It was based on a passing post I saw in this community, only anecdotal. Great point about needing a firmware update, perhaps I will start B&W.
You're welcome. Good to see Barney was helpful.
Apple no longer supports the Aiplay speakers from Bowers & Wilkins? Really??
