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?

+18You say you own a “Sonos amp the older one”. There’s only been one Sonos Amp, so we’re talking about a Sonos Connect:amp? If so you cannot use it with a (non Sonos I presume) because there’s no provessing for a sub in the Connect:amp.
The sub works, it’s a Cambridge audio and works alongside the Sonos system through the amp. The problem seems to be the Rca ports not receiving sound. Just wondered if there was a trick to it.
+18Yes, there’s two models, but they have different names. Amp (present), Connect:amp (discontinued).
Still curious about how a Connect:amp that has no settings for a sub, can play amp to a sub. Can a sub receive the complete signal and distill the lower frequencies by itself?
+18You’re right. Sorry to confuse you. Both the Amp and the Connect:amp have a sub output.
+24A Connect:Amp is not well suited to TV use as the analog input will introduce a 75ms delay in the audio path which may drive you crazy with lip-sync issues. The Sonos devices with digital-in do not have this problem.
Thanks fir the advice guys, mainly this room is used for gaming, wouldn’t mind a delay if I could at least get it to play, it should work!
