Hey everyone, I wanted to share my recent experience with getting audio playback working on my Sonos devices. I’ve been using OpenHAB for a while now, but recently upgraded to version 3.3.0 on my Raspberry Pi. Everything seemed to be working fine until I tried to play some music through my Sonos speakers. I kept getting this error: Failed playing audio stream 'org.openhab.core.audio.FileAudioStream@12ce044' as no audio sink was found.
At first, I was a bit confused. I had set up my audio sinks correctly in the console, and even selected the kitchen sink as the default. I tried troubleshooting by checking the logs, which showed that the sink was recognized, but there was no audio output. I even went as far as reinstalling the Sonos binding and rebuilding my script using Blockly, but the issue persisted.
After some more digging, I found that playing audio through the enhancedjavasound sink worked, but not through Sonos. This led me to suspect that there might be a compatibility issue with the new OpenHAB version and the Sonos binding. I decided to take a closer look at the DEBUG logs for the Sonos binding and noticed some strange behavior with the playNotificationSoundURI method.
Finally, I stumbled upon a solution by adjusting the audio sink settings and ensuring that the correct sink was selected for playback. I also made sure to test different volumes and tracks to confirm that the issue was resolved. Now, my Sonos speakers are working perfectly again!
If anyone else is experiencing similar issues, here are a few steps you can try:
- Check your audio sink settings in the OpenHAB console.
- Ensure that the correct sink is selected as the default.
- Verify that your Sonos devices are properly paired and recognized by the binding.
- Check the DEBUG logs for any unusual behavior or errors.
- Try playing audio through a different sink to isolate the issue.
I hope this helps someone else who might be struggling with similar problems. Feel free to share your experiences or ask questions below!
