But you need to enable AirPlay for all Sonos devices or at least give us the ability to turn AirPlay OFF. Then I guess I can get lock screen controls. Only one of of my Sonos devices even supports AirPlay so I can’t even use the workaround to just use the Apple Music app and then use AirPlay to send to zones. But, can’t Sonos give us the ability to turn off AirPlay? I don’t use AirPlay and it seems Sonos has committed my 13 zones of Sonos to AirPlay. I can’t turn off AirPlay on my Pioneer Elite receiver even though I never us AirPlay and would like to. I just logged into both of my Apple TVs, disabled Airplay, disabled playback controls and lock screen controls, reset my iPhone Controller, and the opened the app and the controls are back. If we can have the lockscreen control when using Spotify connect with airplay enabled devices on the network, then why we have it when using the Sonos app? Perhaps the Sonos developers should ask Spotify how they do it. So your statement "the controls are only available for audio being played on the device itself" is incorrect. You can remove spotify from memory, take the iPod to another location, even destroy it if you want, and Spotify continues playing through the Sonos Speakers. Spotify is NOT playing on the device itself. And you get the lockscreen controls after the Sonos 9.0 upgrade and with airplay 2 devices, like apple TV gen 4, running.
Well, how do Spotify do it? Using Spotify connect, Spotify plays through Sonos Speakers.
Because of this, the Sonos implementation of lock screen controls was built in a way that's no longer viable and with the launch of AirPlay 2 on Sonos. You may have heard this already, but iOS does not natively provide a way to control devices on your home network from the lock screen in iOS, the controls are only available for audio being played on the device itself.
