Problems with Airplay in iOS 8?

Anybody else lost the ability to stream audio to a third party speaker or receiver since upgrading to iOS 8? I have an Airplay compatible Pioneer receiver that I used to stream music to from my iPhone 5S without issue. Since upgrading to iOS 8, it's no longer an option in Control Center. Using iTunes on my MacBook Air, it still works fine. The receiver pops right up as an Airplay option and the music streams as it should.

So, I know it's not a wifi issue or anything wrong with my Pioneer receiver. I've started seeing this same issue pop up on some third party support sites from users who've upgraded to iOS 8 but haven't seen anything here on the Apple forums yet.

Hoping I'm not alone ... any ideas?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8

exact opposite for me. i phone 5 will not stream consistent, but iPad Air has no trouble - using 8.1.2 on phone and ipad. leery of upgrading to 8.1.3 could make things worse, and i dont need any more issues and have NO plans for an Applewatch to make things even worse

Many thanks for posting this - I also have an S900W and the solution you recommended worked for me. It's been driving me crazy, so really appreciate your post.

Thanks again!
