I have a Sonos PLAY:1 in my office and it seems redundant to have PC speakers in there as well. Is there some way to connect the PC audio out to a PLAY:1?? Thanks so much!

You might want to check out http://www.streamwhatyouhear.com/. It installs on your PC and allows you to direct the PC audio to any Sonos device.

NullReference - Yes, I had mentioned I'd heard of Stream What You Hear in one of my comments above. Are you using it? What do you think? Does it have the 1-2 second delay people talk about with youtube videos and the like?

Ah sorry, missed that.

TBH I've only given it a quick go. There were delays, and dropouts. but that might be because the PC host was a laptop over Wifi. Also I have two Play:1 setup as a stereo pair, but these are shown as separate targets. It allows you to target both of them, but I doubt I was getting stereo!
