Components and Architectural

Not trying to start up a flame war, but I’m genuinely at a decision point and need some opinions.I LOVE(ED?) SONOS for a long time...I probably don’t have as extensive of investment as some of you (I only have Connect:AMP, 2x Play1 and 1xPlay5)...but, investment nonetheless.Mostly, my setup does exactly what I need...I have very little interest in changes, can’t think of any new features that I need (except maybe to have Sonos stop breaking the features I have! [hello, lock screen controls?])I would like to buy myself a soundbar for Christmas (although it looks like they aren’t shipping from sonos.com until Feb’21 :( )  Hence the decision point...should I keep investing? Will Sonos let me live forevermore with my “legacy” S1 devices...until they physically stop working?  I have no first hand experience with Sonos lifecycling products out.  Currently, I’m seeing the 30% ‘incentive’ to rid the world of older devices.  My fear, if I do nothing, in the next 18-24 months...there will ultima

When I plug my optical audio into the receiver the sound doesn't come through. But when I used my Xbox as a receiver it worked just fine. I can not find a solution. 

I recently bought a Sonos subwoofer and im trying to get it to play with the Sonance ceiling speakers.  I have a Sonos amp and port.  Im having issues getting the subwoofer to integrate into this set up.  Is the Sonos subwoofer compatible with the Sonance speakers?

Dear all,I have an implemented sound environment containing Beam (connected to TV), Sub and several Ones. Everything worked just perfect until I decided to connect my vinyl player to my sound equipment. I purchased Amp specifically for that purpose expecting that it would be able to take vinyl as input and stream it to existing equipment as output. However, it was not possible to add Amp to existing sound group during the setup, so it was only possible s to set it up as separate equipment group with separate output speakers. Is it possible to implement scenario I described above? If yes, what should be done to implement it?

I have Sonos Connect pre-installed in my apartment. There are speakers in the living room as well as the bedroom ceilings. Since the beginning both have always played together and I’ve never distinguished between the two in settings or anything. But I just noticed that the bedroom speakers are not playing any audio. I’ve also been having problems with music dropping off for several seconds and then coming back on.  Can you tell me what I need to do to get the music playing again in the bedroom? Have already tried unplugging the power of the Sonos box for 10 secs and plugging back in.

I’d like a nice stereo setup I can use with my tv as well as for streaming music and have settled on the Sonos Amp to act as the hub due to the compact size and it has all the connectivity I want.  I want to add on Sonos Ones in other rooms eventually. Now I really like the Wharfedale Denton 85s, but am slightly confused by all the different power ratings.  These speakers have a nominal impedance of 4ohms (min 3.8) and the manufacturers website recommends an amp of 20-120W.  The Sonos Amp is rated at 125w at 8ohms but that goes to 250w at 4ohms.  Would this be a problem?  Can an amp really have too much power for passive speakers?  Or will it just be overhead I’m not using? Any advice appreciated, cheersPete

I am looking for a way to connect our reciver to our sonos speakers so that we can get sound from smart TV, Dish, PS4, DVD player, etc to play over existing wired speakers and sonos speakers at the same time.  I am assuming there is another component we need to connect the reciever and the sonos speakers, however after reading through the descriptions of what’s available, it’s not clear to me what I need.  Any advise is appreciated. 

Hello, I own a Sony - Bluetooth Stereo Turntable and I am using a Sonos Five with a (cheap) pre-amp to connect them to my Sonos system (Beam+2Ones+Sub) so I can get all my speakers working. Currently I am not happy at all with the sound because it sounds cheap. I think there should be a way of getting a nice sound from the turntable. I am thinking on the following: Buying the Sonos Amp and use it to connect the turntable to the Sonos system and probably get rid of the Sonos Five.  Upgrade my current preamp to a better one like Pluto 2 or Pro-Ject Phono Box, keep the Sonos Five for the Line-In but I am not sure if this will upgrade my sound as much as I want it. Any thoughts on this? I have the Sonos system and the Turntable+Sonos Five in the same big room.  Thank you all!

Hello I want to connect a turntable to a ZP90 with a Move speaker. Do I need a turntable with a pre amp?

So!!! I’m trying to get my tv to run through my Sonos system. I have a Sonos amp the older one, purely for a sub. Tv only has optical out and amp only has Rca in, so I bought a converter but can’t get sound to come through. Any help? 

Can someone confirm that the Sonos Port (which requires a 3rd party amplifier) is NOT compatible with a Sonos Sub?  I believe the reason for this is that the Sub must pair directly to a Sonos component that has built in amplification (Amp, Sonos speakers).  A Sonos port cannot plug directly into a third party amplifier.I realize there are hacks around this (pair the Sub with a Sonos speaker then group the speaker/Sub with the Port, eg.) but I do not want to do this.   If any of this is factually wrong, please educate me.

Is the new Sonos Port compatible with Audio Control’s Rialto Amplifier?

Bonjour,je souhaite utiliser mes enceintes dynaudio xeo3, connectées par un boitier avec Line in, pour écouter Deezer via mon téléphone iphone et mon mac.j’ai l’intention d’acheter un connect G2, d’occasion. Pas un “amp” ni un “port”. Pourriez-vous m’indiquer si ce système fonctionnera avec la nouvelle application sonos ? Si oui, quel branchement dois-je faire pour que ça marche ?Je vous remercie. daniel

Hi there! I am about to own a turnable and was wondering if i can have a fully analog path from turnable to sonos play 5 speaker?I found some forum posts about this issue but i think was other users telling their opinion and couldn’t manage to figure out how signal path works. I would like some sonos official answer about this! Some users in this forum claim that once the analog signal from line-in reaches play-5 speaker whether or not this speaker sends data to other speakers the a/d conversion is the only path through.So does every signal from line in is converted in digital and then optionally sent to other sonos devices and each device makes the d/a final conversion? If so, is there any way to bypass the the a/d part of the a/d/a process?If not what do i need to do to have a fully analog path? Thanks a lot!!

Hi, I have a Sony WH-1000xm4 headphone.   Can I connect this to my Sonos Arc soundbar ?

I’m looking to add an in wall subwoofer to my sonos home theater system. Currently I have an arc center channel and then 2 sets of architectural in wall speakers running to 2 separate amps for front/back, left/right. I would like to run two subs, one to each amp. Any recommendations on in wall subs to use? As well, what connections work best to get the most sound?

Hello everyone, please forgive me if my question is answered already but I search for somedays now and I cant manage to find an answer.I have two Sonos port. Each one connected to a stereo amp with HI-FI speakers in different rooms.I want to listen the music coming from a CD player that is connected to my first Sonos port(A) line in, simultaneously to both port (A ) and port (B) outputs. So play the line in from port (A) to the line out of both port (A) and port (B).I cant manage to do that.Is it possible or I am trying something that is not supported?   From the app S2 I select the line in on the port (A) that the CD is connected then I try to play that to both port (A) and port (B) and nothing comes out.Is it also possible if I want to listen the CD to the room of port (B) and listen a radio station on the port (A) even when the CD is connected to the port (A) ? Thank you in advance for any suggestion

Hi, I was wondering what the best way would be to achieve this goal, I want to play my vinyl through the house, including my Tannoy speakers, I also want to stream from my nas to all speakers including my Tannoy speakers. The turntable has a pre amp and rca connections, the amp has no digital connections but does have a line in and line outThanksPhil 

Hey guys i have a sonos zp80 and a wd 100 can anyone tell me how to pair it to sonos s1 or my sonos zp80

My Port is up and running and sounds fantastic. But I have a question. When I’m playing a vinyl, cassette or cd through Port I always have to group the rooms (TV Room) when I have to flip the vinyl or change to the cassette or CD player. In other words I have to go to my app and group my Port (TV Room2) to my TV Room/Garage/Bedroom/Move in order to here the music playing. It’s a little annoying I have to go to the app and group the Port every time. Is this normal?

Hi If I make use of the Upgarde Programme to trade in my 2 * ZonePlayer 100’s and get my 30% discount on 2 repalcement units (via Sonos website), do I get to keep my ZP100’s and will they still work? Cheers

Hello, I have a Connect Turntable in my system that I’d like to give to my son (along with two Play:1) so that he can connect his turntable with built-in amp at his apartment.  Will this work if these are the only components he has in his “system”? Thanks.      

I plugged my Teac TN-300 into the Sonos Five and all I get is a faint highly distorted sound. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:Toggle the pre-am switch on the TT on and off multiple times to make sure it’s not a sticky switch. Changed the cable connecting the TT to the Sonos Five Tried multiple settings on the Line level (from 1 to 10) Kept autoplay off Made sure I am only playing on the Sonos Five and not on any other speakers in the home Disconnected and reconnected the cartridge head Reset my cartridge weight and anti-skatingAny other ideas? Is it possible the Sonos Five is fine except for a bad Line In?

I can seamlessly play music through my port on my works with Sonos receiver but when I stop the music it does not automatically switch back to tv volume. I have to manually change it, why?
