I have recently purchased a ZP90, S5, zone bridge (connected to the router) and cr200. The set up was a doddle - I pointed the sonos towards my music files on an external hard drive/PC which it picked up with no problems at all. It worke fantastically well for a couple of weeks. However, over the last few day it has developed a problem. When i sync (party mode) the S5 and ZP90 to play the same music from my hard drive, the music breaks up badly to the extent i cannot listen to it. I have not changed anything in my set up since i bought the sonos. The strange thing is i could stream different music to the zones individually- the problem only existed when i attempt to synch. The radio does not appear to be affected by this problem. Things have now gone one step further and the music breaks up when playing on a single zoneplayer.
I have tried a variety of things to sort the problem such as unplugging the zones and setting them up again - moving the zone players closer together to see if distance is the problem. I get the feeling the problem lies with the S5. When i merged (synch) the S5 with the ZP90 i get the problem. Its as if the zones work fine as receivers but seem to get 'confused' when they act as receivers and senders.
Again it worked really well for two weeks, I don't understand how the set up has inherited this problem. As i say this problem does not affect the internet radio. The music is playing but it is intermittent. Any help would be appreciated.
