If you can airplay 2, then you can airplay 1. Therefore Airplay 2 is the only option on Sonos, and therefore you need an OS that works with Airplay 2. Sonos does not work with Airplay 1 (like Bluetooth, because it is unreliable and not suited to multiroom). You should be able to use Airplay 1 to output to Sonos airplay speakers.Please see other thread that you posted on. Airplay 2 is backwards compatible to Airplay 1. If you want to play tracks from your iTunes library then it is better to set up a Sonos music library anyway, rather than use Airplay. Is there a solution to this problem?Airplay 2 requires Mac OS 10.13.6 or higher, so that is the issue. I can see the speaker at the SoundOutputs but there is no sound playing from the speaker. I got a Sonos One and it works without any problems, but when I try to stream something from my Macbook (End 2008, OsX ElCapitan 10.11.6) there are some problems. Also relying on the Sonos app to keep in touch with my Mac seems to be one troublesome link that can be done away with. I love iTunes for organising music (smart playlists particularly), and having to update the Sonos library whenever I buy new music is a pain. I've also been using the Audio Cast 3rd party app for a few weeks, which allows direct playback, and finding it no worse than the Sonos app in terms of stability, though it's pretty basic. I'm browsing this thread and others to decide whether investing in a One is worth it to allow me to do that. I've been a Sonos user for 6/7 years and one of the things I've found really frustrating from the start is not being able to play direct from iTunes. I'd be really interested to know why using iTunes via the Sonos library is preferable.
