Thanks for coming back @Lino Tremblay S1 isn't supported by Sonos anymore, so there isn't much we can do - have a look here for more info :thumbsup_tone2:
Whole different story for you @bluenote78 have you reached out to Sonos about it by any chance? Because they use our API, an update on their side could affect how Deezer integrates. Keep us posted!

Hello Rudi,

Thanks for your message. Now, as you can see at the top of this page, this thread begun long before the S1/S2 discussion was in the air. Also, all my other audio sources are working well. Are you 100% sure S1 is causing problem? 

@bluenote78, are you using S1 or S2?

I just passed the info on to be helpful, Rudi. As I told Lino I gave up on Deezer so won’t be contacting Sonos. Best wishes to you and the Deezer community! Jeff

And I’m planning to do the same, because as I see it, it’s Sonos and Deezer’s job to make things work, not mine.

Hi there, just to be sure, have you already updated the Sonos app recently and if so, did you have the problems before and after the update?

And have you tried to lower the audio quality in the Sonos app? Did that change anything?

Hey @hayesduncan

Absolutely. That's why we're here.
Thank you for reporting it back to us. Glad everything is back to normal 👍🏼

I’ve had exactly the same issues as these people.  Some Sonos systems/networks are unable to cope with streaming HiFi audio, whether due to house layout, inaccessibility of multiple ethernet ports, or whatever.  Since November, when we were all “upgraded” (I say forced) onto HiFi audio packages there is no other audio quality option.

Deezer really need to reintroduce their cheaper non-HiFi packages, or people such as myself will be taking our business elsewhere.

Oh, and please don’t blame Sonos, this is a Deezer issue not a Sonos one.

Hi there @Lino Tremblay and @bluenote78 

Thank you for your honest feedback. You're right, our devs contact Sonos about this kind of issues. But it's their app and their device, there's only so much we can do.

This issue with S1's is something that we, community managers, found out recently by doing a bit of research on our own. This means that a firmware update that could possibly help with the skipping problem on our API may not be on the cards for those affected models because of the drop of support. Bear in mind, this is entirely speculative based on the info I've found online, as your community manager who's committed to giving you a transparent response :v_tone2:

Hey guys,
its happening again. Can you please reset my cache?
I have a Sonos set up at my offices where I also use my account daily.. not sure if this may be an issue.. you don’t have a service that allows me to use Hifi on multiple devices so I have to use one location at a time.. I do this daily!

its becoming very painful.. are you able to have my cache reset automatically each day to avoid this happening again?

Thanks

Im using the S2 Sonos app and am having skipping and drop outs. I noticed Apple Music only sends their stream to Sonos in a standard stream size even though they are directly offer higher quality streaming formats.  They clearly understand it’s necessary to provid e smooth streaming. I prefer Deezer over Apple for various reasons  but will be forced to cancel my subscription with Deezer

Thanks for the comments @Alberto.deez @Lino Tremblay

I can certainly agree with you on these points, but we'll need Sonos to update their firmware/support the changes on their side so that our API doesn't have problems. I'll let our devs know what you said, in any case - working more and more with Sonos right now it's on the plans :thumbsup_tone2:

Deezer skips about every 4th song.  Says it loses connection.  Been going on for months.  Going to have to cancel.   Sonos or Deezer has not been able to fix the problem.  Sonos always tries, but Deezer just throws out random info and never lets you talk to anyone on their end.
