  3. Monitor speakers disappearing

    Hi Liam,

    I can understand that must make you feel upset and we will work toward fixing this situation for you.

    Just to clarify, the issue started after disabling the speaker, is that correct?

    If so, I suggest you to try the steps below to re-enable the speaker and check again.

    1. Right click on the sound icon in the taskbar and select "playback devices".

    2. In the playback devices window, right click on an empty space and select "show disabled devices".

    3. This will show the hidden/disabled speaker.

    4. Right click on it and re-enable it.

    Hope this helps.

    Let us know if you need further assistance, we will be glad to help.

    Cant find the speakers

    Hi Gilly,

    Regarding your concern with Sonos Play1 speakers not listing as an option under speakers, we suggest that you get in touch with your device's manufacturer for better assistance.

    Thanks.
