Spotify is one of the most popular music and podcast streaming services available. It faces other big names in its segment such as Tidal and Apple Music.
Spotify users can not only enjoy the service through computers and phones, but it is also compatible with smart speakers (such as Sonos).
Spotify Connect is a feature that allows you to use a particular device (such as a phone or computer) to remotely control playback on others (such as the aforementioned smart speakers).
However, some Spotify users are facing issues with ‘Connect’ when trying to use the Spotify desktop app to control Sonos smart speakers.
Some Spotify Connect users cannot control Sonos speakers
Normally, the Spotify Connect feature allows users to choose from the compatible devices available through the Spotify app (desktop and mobile) in order to control it.
But that option is reportedly not working properly for some users. They are unable to select a Sonos speaker in Spotify Connect through the desktop app.
When users affected by the issue try to choose their Sonos speakers in the Spotify desktop app, an ‘unavailable to control’ message does not allow it.
Spotify team is already aware
The Spotify team is aware of the issue that prevents choosing Sonos speakers in Spotify Connect through the desktop app.
There is no ETA yet for a fix that resolves the issue. We will let you know when the issue is resolved via an update to this story.
