Latest Update Breaks Sonos Stereo Pairs

[thirdwavemgmt]

Hello! Thanks for the awesome software.

After I updated to the latest version I found that my stereo pair of Play:3's are only playing from the left channel. I restarted all sources and computers and continued to have the problem. I then went into the Sonos controller, unpaired the Play:3's, and then repaired. The pair now works! However, when I switched the source the stereo pair seems to be broken again and only playing from the left channel again. I restarted Airsonos and the problem persisted. I am able to un-pair and then re-pair and it works again but not a great work around.

What version were you previously using, and which are you using now? Does it work as expected again if you go and install the previous version? i.e. npm install -g airsonos@oldversionnumber.

Also, can you show the output you're seeing from the setup?

Currently using version 0.0.24. Updated from an older version maybe .18 to .23 first then .24. I downgraded to an older version .18 and still had the problem. I reinstalled via update to .24 and output is attached.

Er, is the screenshot you posted related to this issue? (i.e. does airsonos currently run for you?) I'm not sure what error output is from.

Are you running into #8 at all? (the individual speakers in the pair showing up multiple times)

Sorry! That was not what we meant to be attached. Yes airsonos is currently running.

Searching for Sonos devices on network...
Setting up AirSonos for TV {10.0.1.2:1400}
Setting up AirSonos for Office {10.0.1.11:1400}
Setting up AirSonos for TV {10.0.1.6:1400}
Setting up AirSonos for Office {10.0.1.9:1400}

Office = Stereo Pair 2x Play:3
TV = Stereo Pair 2x Play:1

2 of each stereo pair show up in the audio menu as you can see above. However only 1 of each (1 Office or 1 TV) will actually output the audio to the speakers from the source. In previous versions that correct output still played the audio to both speakers in the stereo pair. Since updating, once I have selected the correct audio output in the menu bar, the audio only plays in 1 speaker of the stereo pair. I can then go into the Sonos controller, unpair the speakers, and then repair them and they work, However, when I switch the source the stereo pair seems to be brake again and only play from 1 speaker again.

Hope that helps.

Urf. I only have a single Play:1 at the moment, so it'll be difficult for me to debug stereo pair issues... Currently working on supporting logical devices (i.e. Stereo pairs or grouped rooms - bencevans/node-sonos#43), which will hopefully help fix this.

[stephen]

Support for paired and grouped speakers should be better in 0.1.1.

Working great! Thank you!
