No, the line in stays on if the internet goes away. I would be guessing that your phone stopped playback of whatever source you were playing...

Line-in not showing up in iOS app or Mac desktop controller with ZP100, ZP80 or two Play:1's

Let me start by stating that I'm a 10 plus year Sonos user and I've been on the beta program in the past. I think I have an above average understanding of how this equipment works. That said, I have a ZP100 in my office with a turntable connected to it. Yes the turntable has a preamp built-in and yes it's connected to the inputs on the ZP100 but I cannot get the turntable to play through the ZP100. I followed the instructions on the site and run into issues where it says to "click on the line-in settings on the Room Settings menu". My issue is that no line-in menu shows up under room settings. Here's what mine shows... I've tried resetting the unit and that did not work. Every other function of the ZP100 works perfectly except for this one. I also tried on my ZP80 and both Play:1's and have the same result. I've got several hours invested so far and I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any pointers?

Why can't I see my BOOST in the app - despite there being one installed?

I know the Boost is working, based on the system info, but I'm wondering why the Boost Settings tab says You have no boosts in your sonos system - while I have. I'd love to be able to see the unit, just to 'make it 100%' valid.

Line-In not working on Connect:Amp

I am trying to use the line-in on my Connect:Amp. However, when I have a device plugged into the phono sockets, the following message appears: "To use line-in, connect a device to a line-in capable sonos player" - i.e. the Connect:Amp is not 'seeing' the Line-in connection. I have already tried the following: Swapped the phono cables over - no luck Rebooted the Sonos Connect:Amp - no luck Factory reset the Sonos Connect:Amp and added back to the system - no luck Then I connected the same line-in device to my Sonos Connect - the line-in does show up and works OK Used the same cables to re-connect to the Connect:Amp - still no luck I can only conclude that something is up with the Connect: Amp Can anybody help? Advice would be greatly appreciated. I have submitted a diagnostics report: #7976997 Thank you!

Speakers say 4-8ohms

Hello all - first post. Brand new to Sonos and loving it! I purchased 2 Connect Amps, and 2 Play 1's. The first Connect Amp powers 4 ceiling speakers (2 in Master Bath and 2 in Master Bedroom) and the other Connect Amp powers 4 ceiling speakers in living room/kitchen area. Here is my question: When I ordered my speakers, I thought they were all 8 ohms. The bathroom speakers came in first, and they are both 8 ohms (these were "weather resistant" so different from the others). Got them installed and they sound great. The rest of the speakers came in a week later, and I got them all installed and they all work and sound great too. But I noticed in some documentation that came with the other 6 speakers that they say 4-8ohms. Now I'm worried that I may cause damage to my very expensive Connect Amps. So one of the Connect Amps is running 2 8 ohm speakers and 2 rated 4-8 ohms, and the other Connect Amp is running 4 4-8 ohm speakrs. After running them for quite a while, sound is st

Sonos CONNECT AMP, How is volume controlled when hooked to TV

I am thinking of getting a Sonos CONNECT AMP and hooking it to my TV. When hooked to my TV can I still control the volume with my TV remote or do I have to use the Sonos app?

Headphones with Sonos

I have a Sonos Soundbar and two PLAY 1s connected via my broadband router, which also connects to my PC holding digitised CDs. Is there any way I can connect headphones to listen to internet radio and my CDs instead of through the speakers?

Privacy Concerns

I bought the Sonos 5 to stream music period!. If I wanted a snooping, listening always on "assistant" I would have bought the Google Home or the Amazon Alexa. If I am forced to add this capability to my Sonos 5 with a mandatory "upgrade" I would rather brick the device and simply use it as a Powered Speaker...

Can a Sonos Amp handle two 4-ohm speakers?

I have a pair of Vienna Acoustic speakers rated at 4-ohms. I'm considering switching to a Sonos Amp, but wondering if that will work given Sonos lists the amp at 8-ohms. Does this just mean it will pull more power to get the same volume or are there any issues risks here?

The Wrensilva Sonos Edition Console

Anyone seen pictures of the new Wrensilva Sonos Edition Console which incorporates two Play 5s? I think it’s hideous but leaving that aside I hope Sonos haven’t devoted much time and resources to this product when requests and suggestions from users for enhancements to the current line-up apparently get ignored or dismissed. Only a personal opinion! :8

Sonos Connect and Sonos Amp: Can I Use Together?

So I've got a TV in the master BR. I've got left and right speakers powered by a SONO AMP in a different room so I can play music. I want to be able to connect the speakers to my TV using the SONOS connect via the Fiber connection to the TV. Can I then associate the L&R speakers connected to the AMP to get TV "Out"?
