Airplay device cannot be selected

I cannot get Airplay from my iMac to work from the Music app. Airplay from ie Safari and Quick Time player is working OK. The error message refer to a possible setting in Network or Airplay configuration. What have I missed? MacOS 13.2.1. Music app 1.3.3.2

iMac, macOS 10.12

imac airplay issue Using iMac 10.15.5, am unable to maintain connection between iMac and Sony TV airplay if trying to connect using music application. No problem when using icon in menu bar and mirroring; issue occurs solely when trying to connect through music airplay icon or sound preferences. Only been a problem over the last couple of days and since using ethernet rather than wi-fi, however wi-fi no longer works either. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated, have tried everything I can think of.

Sonos with Airplay not working on Mac mini M1 I play music from the Music app on my Mac mini M1 over AirPlay to my Sonos One. Just after I've started my Mac, everything works great. If I stop playing music, and leave it for a while, it all stops working. I go back to Music to try and carry on playing music, AirPlay does not work. What I've tried: Rebooting the Sonos. Doesn't work. Pressing play on the Sonos. Doesn't work. Trying a different Sonos. Doesn't work. Rebooting the Router. Doesn't work. Turning WiFi off and on, on the Mac. Doesn't work. If I reboot the Mac. It works. This is clearly a rubbish solution. I can't restart my Mac every hour. Help Apple! What can I (or you) do to fix this issue?

Just a small update. The error occurs when I try to Airplay from the Music App on my Mac to my ATV. From the Music App on my ATV I can airplay to my Mac without problems. Very strange.
