Android: Unable to cast to Sonos

Flanda
Underground

Puzzling problem. I have two properties. Both have Google mesh Wi-Fi networks and Sonos speakers all over, each with it's own Google and Sonos accounts. I have a Motorola G6 Android phone with the latest Sonos and Pandora app versions. For each property, both my phone and the Sonos system are on the SAME Wi-Fi network. So the apps are up to date and on the same network in each of the properties.  In one house, using the Pandora app, the casting icon shows in the bottom right hand corner of the now playing screen. Tapping the icon shows the available Sonos speakers as expected. In the second property, however, the casting icon doesn't show at all, so I'm unable to cast anything from my phone to any speaker. I tried Spotify and I am able to cast on any speaker at each property without problems. Other people with iPhones using Spotify have no problems. I am both the network and Sonos Administrator for both properties and I have nothing special configured that I believe would prevent only MY Android phone running the Pandora app in the second property to not show the icon. So I am suspecting the problem is with Pandora. Again, Spotify works perfectly in both places. Any ideas?

I am still not seeing the cast icon on the Pandora app.  I am trying to cast to my SONOS speakers, but the icon has been missing for months.  I am using a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Has anyone figured out how to get the cast icon back when playing SONOS?  The cast icon has been missing in the Pandora app for months.

Hi @Joannanan, welcome to the community!

Can you tell me from which device you are trying to cast to your Sonos? 

Let me know.

Thanks @Joannanan!

If the cast icon isn't showing up in the Pandora app or if you're having issues casting, try the following:

  1. Check to see if there are any updates available for your Pandora app and update if needed.
  2. Make sure your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Sonos device.
  3. Try reinstalling or clearing app data for Pandora on your device.
  4. Restart your Sonos device by unplugging the power source and plugging it back in.
  5. Restart the Pandora app on your device.
  6. Run the Sonos app to set up your Sonos device again.
