Plex + Sonos app = not being able to play FLAC 44.1/16 files

Plex + Sonos app = not being able to play FLAC 44.1/16 files

My setup: Sonos Beam 2 + 2 x Sonos One SL.

I got Plex to play my local FLAC files.

If I play high-res files (FLAC), it’s working fine.

If I play 44.1/16 bit files, it says that it lost connection to Plex (through the Sonos app). Playing the files through the Plex app or in the browser works just fine.

Any idea what’s wrong?

I’m on the latest version of media server/sonos app/firmware/plex app
