Will I be able to adjust the amps tone controls (bass, treble and Loudness) when my source is Spotify using AirPlay 2 on an Apple TV or iPhone?
The Sonos system in my house includes a Beam connected to a TV that also has component A/V inputs. If I want to have a turntable in that same room, could I have that audio wired to the Sonos system through those TV audio inputs, and switch the source to the beam with the TV remote as if it’s a video device? If so, I assume an older turntable would require some kind of pre-amp, but could a player with built-in amp go direct?I realize it’s not optimal but I’m curious if it can theoretically work.
Hi, Can I use a Sonos Amp to power my Bose 151 outdoor speakers (rated for max 100 watt)? Not sure if the 125 watt output to these speakers would distort the sound or provide poor quality. Please let me know
i haven’t found a solution anywhere on the support site so i’ll ask here. i replaced a sonos beam gen 2, sonos sub and sonos amp connected to passive rears for a sonos amp and two definitive 8060STs which have the subwoofers built in. they are connected hdmi to a roku tv.when setting the tv to stereo output the voice are not clear coming from the speakers, with them coming out as stereo from the sonos amp. when the tv is set to play dolby, the sonos amp plays dolby and the voice are clear.my question is - is the recommendation to use stereo or dolby as the audio output for the sonos amp from the roku tv? by setting it to dolby, is it now creating a phantom center channel which is making the dialogue better? is setting it to dolby without the rears making me lose out on other sounds during a movie?appreciate the help here. i don’t want to go back to a receiver but need to make the sonos amp and my speakers have clear vocal dialogue.
Hello all -- I’ve tried reading through these threads but my head is spinning! I am hoping to hook-up my Crosley turntable (specs here) to my pair of old Play:1 speakers. The specs of my TT don’t say much, but it gets mentioned on a few different websites that it has a ‘built in amp’ though nobody elaborates more than that. I do not have any type of phono vs. line-in switch on the back, but I do have 2 RCA jacks as well as 2 speakerwire ports (sorry, not sure what else to call those...)Looking for the simplest (and maybe also cheapest) way to get this all in sync. Do I need a pre-amp, can anyone tell? Which new or discontinued Sonos product would you recommend as my easiest path here? Any thoughts appreciated, thanks!
Hi Sonos team,This has been requested before, but after extensive reading in the fora I could not find a solution or an answer from Sonos about prioritisation of this issue.Can you please provide an option to disable audio-delay (latency) when a line-in device is used on a single Sonos speaker setup?In an older conversation all kind of ideas were proposed by the community. There were a couple of things people agreed on:Many people are bothered that a minimal 75 ms latency is enforced. And they would be very happy if Sonos could give an option to disable the 70ms latency. Two use-cases where people encounter the latency-problem: Creative music production (keyboard, dj-mixer) Audio video where the Sonos is used for audio and a laptop/television as screen (for movie watching or video calls). In a setup with 1 Sonos speaker and a line-in device as audio-source, the 70ms latency seems artificial and not dictated by technical limitations (i.e. buffering with multiple wireless Sonos speaker
just set up the Sonos 5 speaker. Our existing turntable and Optimus amp work just fine on our old speaker. We wanted to upgrade to the Sonos 5… but when hooked up, there is a terrible low hum that gets louder with volume increase and is persistent when the record is finished or in-between songs when there is no sound. the grounding wire is fine and like I say, does NOT have the buzz with the older speakers. So what are we doing wrong? Or is our system no compatible with the Sonos 5? We do NOT get the buzz with any of the other features, meaning the streaming music, etc. Only when using the record player. If we can’t fix I guess we just go back to the old speakers because that hum is giving us a headache.
I’ve just purchased a port (upgrade to a connect) 3 weeks ago. Upgraded to S2. So I now have an S2 system with the port and S1 system with the connect. I continue to find the sound from the connect to be clearer than the port using Qubuz? I would have thought the port, with its improved operating system would have added more clarity, separation, etc.. Any thoughts? thanks..
Hello, Several Speaker of one of my Sonos Playbar are out of order (membrane torn)I disassembled the playbar with success a get the 3 or 4 speakers to changeI would like to buy some new ones. Not with the Sonos AfterSale Service of course.Does someone have the specifications of these ones? We can see on the speaker : PVT16312512 Tutorial to disassembled : Thanks.
I have a Project Carbon EVO turntable connected to a pair of Sonos Fives, a pair of ones and a Beam plus a Sub but there is a slight static hissing sound very faint but audible, the turntable is connected to a Project phono box S2 and I’ve taken all the connections out then reconnected it twice, I thought it may have been a grounding issue but it’s not.any thoughts how to fix?
I have a ZP120 which I’d like to use with a turntable and wired KEF Q350 speakers. I believe the ZP120 will put out 55 watts per channel max. The KEF’s have a sensitivity of 87 dB and “amplifier requirements” listed at 15-120 watts. However, when discussing this with KEF support, they recommended that I have an amp closer to 80 watts per channel. I’m just wondering if anybody has either used their ZP120 with the Q350’s or has any input regarding this. Seems like the ZP120 would be fine, based on the specs of both. Thanks

When the battery of the Sonos Roam is dead and we plug it in, it takes a long time before it van connect tot the system. I would expect that such An expensive device would work immediately. Is this normal? If it is, this is a bit of a dissapointment.
Hi, all. Just hooked up my Audio Technica LP120 turntable to my Port via Line In. Throws the music to my Sonos One nicely. Sounds great. I have the Port’s analog line out RL going into a Sony A/V receiver which is the same line that the turntable was originally using before I set up the Port. I’m not happy now with how the turntable music sounds through the A/V receiver via the Port compared to when the turntable was connected directly to the receiver. Very bass-heavy and less clear. I realize it’s probably now a balancing act between the loudness-bass-treble settings of the Port combined with those same available settings on the reciever. Anyone have optimal settings suggestions for the analog line out of the Port to an A/V receiver? Thanks.
With the recent upgrading of our whole system to S2 it’s time to sell my old kit. And with it being Boxing Day I thought I’d dig right to the back of the boxes cupboard. Does anyone remember unboxing these? It was a launch into the unknown back then. CR100 live and well and running with S5 on v8.4.
All of a sudden my connect amp started shining bright red out of the play/pause button when muted. How do I disable it? I can already tell that it is muted with my ears. I don't want to watch an annoying red light in my living room.
Hi! I have the latest Sonos 5, a Move, two Roams and the Sub. My question is if I want to plug a turntable in via Aux socket into the 5, will it only play on the 5 or will it play on all speakers?
Hi allI just got my new sonos amp connected to my in wall speakers, and I’m having trouble getting a connection from my TV. I have it set up on my Samsung Frame 2019 via sonos optical adapter (eARC not supported with this TV model). I have gotten confirmation from the sonos amp that my TV is setup and heard a confirmation sound that the sonos amp is connected to TV. However, when I play the TV, I have no sound coming from it. I installed Netflix directly on the tv not through Apple TV to test outside of Apple TV, and no sound from sonos. To be clear, the speakers works and I stream audio from my phone to them successfully.The Apple TV is connected to HDMI 1 and sonos amp on optical input.Any ideas why I'm not hearing anything from my sonos amp connected to my TV?Thanks for your help! Looking forward to having this working.
Sonos recently announced 24bit audio output for Amazon Music on some devices…Does the Connect (The one compatible with S2) can output 24bit audio through optical ?Any idea ? Thanks, Denis
Hello all,I’m probably over looking something but I could use some help. I’m trying to get the line-in (touch tunes jukebox) to turn off after the song ends automatically and switch back to the original music source “apple music”The way it’s working currently is, apple music will play as usual. Then if I go to my touch tunes jukebox to play a song, the song will turn on (in the s1 app, it changes to Receiver:Room 1) (source level is set to 1 - I was having trouble getting it to switch to line in at level 2 (A/V))The problem is after the song from the jukebox stops playing it never switches back, instead it stays set to the Line-In(Receiver:Room1) unless I manually switch source back to apple music.I’m trying to figure out what’s going on. My initial thoughts are either, the system thinks the song is still playing because the source level threshold is set low. Or it’s dropping the apple music connection and isn’t able to switch back.Thanks in advanced for the help! SettingsLine-InSource
I have an AMP connected to a zone (dining room) and a PORT connected to my DENON AVR-X3700H receiver that I use on the optical CD input. When I use my 2 zones simultaneously (PORT with DENON AVR + AMP), the sound of the DENON comes out a few milliseconds later. I had a KENWOOD amp until a few days ago and I never had this problem. Has anyone had this problem? Can I adjust this parameter in SONOS? I don't see how to do it in DENON
My Connect:Amp was no longer connecting to the app. So, after proceeding through several troubleshooting steps, Sonos guided me to perform a factory reset on the device. When I did, the Connect:Amp came back up flashing the white LED and then went to flashing red Play/Pause. Note that on the Connect:Amp, there is both an LED and a Play/Pause that flash. They are separate lights.
I have Sonos Connect connected to Sherbourn amp that powers about 14 speakers in my house. Normally when I start music in Sonos app and stream music Sherbourn amp turns on music starts. This morning I turn on music in app, it shows bars indicating music but I don’t get music. The Sherbourn amp doesn’t automatically kick on. I tried turn amp on manually, nothing. Any thoughts?
I just installed a Sonos surround sound system for my TV HDMI ARC output -- Beam, Sub, two One SL’s, all brand new, latest generations. The TV puts out the HDMI ARC signal from several sources (cable box, Roku Ultra, Blu-ray player), all fed to it through an HDMI switch. It all works perfectly.I want to add Bluetooth headphones for use when the speakers are otherwise silenced. If I install a Port, and feed the audio out to a Bluetooth transmitter, will the signal persist if the speakers are muted? Or is some other solution possible? If not, perhaps Port is not the answer, and then, what is?The TV has optical out but works only when the signal is from the cable box. I’ve researched this with Aluratek, the maker of Bluetooth transmitter/receivers, and determined with them that this, while unfortunate, is expected. And the TV has no aux out.Thank you.
