After hours of connecting, hard wire, wireless, rebooting everything and then re-setting back to factory settings. Nothing. Both these units get to the end and come back with cant connect.  I have not yet re-set the bridge. Is this advisable?? So desperately wanting to go through all my old casettes and ply them over my old home made 12’’ speakers:) Oldskool. Any help would be great Cheers    

I have very low volume when playing e.g. you tube or NETFLIX through Line In. Any advice?

I’m looking to connect 4 speakers to my Sonos Connect:Amp (i can do that, right?) for around my pool area.  I’m leaning toward OSD RX640. Do i need an “impedance matching speaker control”, whatever that is?  I’ve read something that went way over my head (easy to do with this topic) and now I nervous/confused about ohms and the Connect:Amp. Any explanation for the newbie would be appreciated...

Hi   I’d like to play cassette tapes via a separates system deck through my Sonos system...do i need to use my Amp or can i simply plug into a Connect?  or do i need the new Sonos Amp?….   Ideally i’d like to lose my old hifi amp.and speakers ..so all i would have is a cassette deck...and maybe a turntable..which i can then play through my sonos speakers   Cheers   Peter

Has anyone had experience with a Sonos Sub in an outdoor patio environment?  This is covered and not exposed to rain, but the relative humidity (Houston, TX) can be pretty high.

Hey Sonos fam,   quick question about outdoor audio setup on my roof patio. I have two outdoor bose speakers connected to my Sonos:connect. One of the speakers crapped out on me and i was planning to replace it. The sound in general (from the working Bose speaker) has been underwhelming and sounds tinny and lacking any bass. I brought my Sonos move to the roof and got a taste of what good sound can be with the right amount of bass. I’be also been exploring the Sonos outdoor speakers from sonance but i can’t find a review that talks about quality of sound and bass level.  If the bass is good I’d rather move in that direction and not have to get a subwoofer for the roof (which would require more complicated wiring to hide it). So I’m down to these options and would love your opinion as to choose which one makes the most sense: swap out both Bose speakers for the Sonos outdoor speakers by sonance and connect to the connect:amp (no sub).,,(this is preferred but want to make sure the sound

Looking for guidence on how to connect my Audio Technica Bluetooth® turntable (AT-LP60XBT) to my BEAM soundbar. Would appreciate any advice you’d like to share. 

Just bought sub woofer to match sound bar

Hi, my system (two original play 3s, two original play 5s, a connect amp, & a sub) are at present connected via a Sonos bridge. There is also a NAS drive that contains my music library connected via an Ethernet cable direct to my router.  I’ve just switched ISP & their new router is now in a downstairs location where I am unwilling to plug in the NAS drive due to it being so noisey when it powers up! I basically need to re-set my system connected to the new WiFi network & was wondering if I could connect the NAS into the bridge rather than the router? I realise it’s old no longer supported technology but seems to be working ok so intend to keep using it. Any suggestions please?  

Hi, I have a Sonos 5.1 speakers set and I am pretty happy about the experience. I am looking to buy a music streamer now, because I understand this will improve the experience with digital music. Since the Bluesound node is deemed superior to the Sonos connect, I wonder what happens if I connect the Node to my speakers. Will I get the 24 bit audio quality of the Node, through its DAC, or Sonos will downgrade it? In my experience so far, I get that downgrading if I use the Sonos app directly hooked to the speakers via wireless, but I don’t if I go through an external DAC.

Towards the end of last year I was being offered the trade-up deal on my “Connect”. I didn’t have time to deal with it around Christmas so I left it. Having heard recently about software upgrades being terminated for legacy products, I went back to take another look.  I was surprised to find that my “Connect” is now described as a “modern product” and the trade-up offer appears to have been withdrawn. What’s going on here? How can my device be more up to date now than it was last year?  

Hi , is the connect model s15 a modern or legacy product

I have the Sonos Port with a turntable and I would like to stream the turntable to my One SL’s and Apple TV and other AirPlay2 Speakers (Libratone Zipp), but I do not see that this is possible - am I missing something? All I can do is stream to Sonos speakers from the Sonos Port. Is there even such a device in existence that can take an analogue input and then output that signal to AirPLay 2 speakers? I do get that an iPad/iPhone can AirPlay out to certain Sonos devices - and I CAN stream audio from my Apple TV to the Sonos One SL’s. therefore making those Sonos devices considered “AIrPlay 2 compatible”, but I think I’m looking for something that doesn’t exist. 

This image on this post comes from the Sonos in-ceiling speakers manual.   How is this set up accomplished?  

I just got the email of a $50 price increase coming January 9th for Port and Amp….. this maybe the beginning of out-pricing their product.  What’s everyone else’s thoughts on this? 

Hi allI am a complete technical dinosaur and need help!I want to purchase a turntable for my husband and have worked out that I need one with a built in preamp. That’s as far as I get because I now need to know whether we can use with our current Sonos set up.Can I plug the audio technica LP120XUSB into a Sonos Zone Player ZP100 in order to play through my Sonos speakers? We have 2 of these but only using one at the moment which works the built in ceiling speaker I think!. In the same space we then have 2 extra Play 1 speakers which pad out the sound a bit, as it’s a large room. if anyone has advice (in simple language) I’d be ever so gratefulmany thanks!

So, I goofed, forgot about tradein, and got a Port to replace a ZP80.  I’ve noticed that prices of course have plummeted, for obvious reasons.  My ZP80 has only been in use for three years - I bought it NIB, still plastic wrapped, in 2016.  Other than the legacy issue, it should have years of life for someone not upgrading their whole system.   The problem of course, is how does a potential buyer know I haven’t traded it in?  How do I sell it and then not have someone claim it’s been recycled and demand money back?   Anyone have ideas?

I have a Sonos Port that connected to my Onkyo 585 Receiver.  My Port is connected to both my Onkyo and my turntable.  When playing a record on the turntable, I get music through my Onkyo surround sound speakers that are hardwired to my Onkyo receiver.  I also get sound to my all my Sonos speakers scattered around the house.  It’s nice - play a vinyl record in the living room and hear it throughout the house. The problem is that I have to set the volume on the Onkyo for the living room speakers (all other Sonos speakers are controlled easily by the Sonos App).  I set the line out to Fixed in the Sonos App, which should allow me to control the Port volume with the Onkyo remote or knob, but when I try to adjust it I get “volume set by Sonos” on the Onkyo receiver display. How do i control the volume of the Port with my receiver controls?

Recently purchased Play 5 and Rega Plana 1 Plus turntable with built-in pre-amp.  When turntable is powered on, Play 5 has significant hum.  Music from vinyl comes through, although the hum persists.  No hum when Play 5 is set to streaming music via Wi-Fi. I’ve adjusted the line-in volume to multiple settings.  I have (I believe) a high quality 3.5mm to RCA cable.  Any troubleshooting suggestions?

I'm considering an aftermarket purchase from ebay, but would really like to know if the product(s) have been previously recycled.      I'd also like to know how to tell if a product that is being sold for parts, actually doesnt work, or if it is user error and they are just fed up with the tech part of sonos.  

I have just removed my bridge from my setup and all working fine on a wireless basis. This was originally due to the bridge failing (it was actually the power line (which can be replaced)). Is there any alternative use for the bridge eg to extend wifi? Any polite thoughts appreciated.  

Anyone care to share his/her experience? Sound quality, possible delays, anything worth while mentioning? Replacing my Arcam amplifier with the Connect should preferably not result in material, notable loss of sound quality. Because that will trigger disappointment and frustration.     Got Dynaudio Audience 72 S speakers, following specs: System type2-wayEnclosure typeBass reflexFrequency response ± 3dB28 - 26000 HzNominal impedance4 OhmAmplifier Requirements10 - 250 WSensitivity (2.83V/1m)86 dBTweeter28mm (1") soft domeWoofer2x17cm (2x6.5") MSP coneDimensions (H x W x D)959x204x256 mm / 37.7x8x10"Weight16.5 kg / 21 lbs

Hi there! I’m trying to wrap my head around one issue with integrating Sonos and my Hi-Fi setup and I’m open for any advice or suggestions that might solve the issue:   I have Sonos around my flat. In my living room I have a Hifi system with a turntable. So far, I either listen to my records or I stream. For that there are a pair of Play:5 sitting right next to my old loudspeakers. I wish to marry my stereo with Sonos. The reason I didn’t do it so far is the lag when streaming analog audio while using the Hifi system simultaneously. My space is very open, the rest of the flat lagging behind the main room is no option at all. My setup consists of a Pro-Ject Pre Box DS2 with two mono power amps behind. No I had the following thought; Putting Sonos in between pre- and power amp would get rid of the streaming lag, but at the same time all my analog audio would go through Sonos DAC. Am I right here? If this is right, the Sonos Port should have something like an “analog signal through” optio

I have a Bose Acoustimass 7 system with 5 double cubes and a powered sub. I want to add to Sonos system with new Sonos Amp. Possible? Issues? thanks

If I buy the Sonance ceiling speakers to use in my kitchen and connect them to the Sonos AMP do they have to play in a left/right stereo pair configuration or can they be configured to provide a mono type output similar to a single stereo speaker?  I cannot place the speakers such that the listening positions will be right for a stereo pair output.  I could use a couple of single stereo speakers but I have a slopped ceiling and I don’t see that any of those have pivoting tweeters.
