Hello - I am connecting the Sonos Connect to my Bang & Olufsen Beosound 9000 so I can stream music wirelessly from my iPhone. I used the 7-pin RCA cable but the sound is barely noticeable when I use the Aux function on the B&O system. I tried to raise the sound to the max on my iphone and on the B&O system. Does anyone knopw how to fix the issue? thanks for your help.
It’s such a potentially non-Sonos issue, it’s hard to tell. It could be the line in settings on the Sonos, as a remote possibility. Unfortunately, it could be the cable you have, or an issue with the B&O system.
If you have a Sonos device newer than the connect, you could try just using AirPlay 2 to it, and group the connect with it, but I’m guessing you don’t have one, since that would be ultimately better than trying to take an output from a B&O device and feed it to a Sonos system. Not overly compatible in lots of ways.
Double check you are using the OUT on the connect and are using the aux on the 9000. There are a lot of DIN sockets on B&O.
If you have another device with phono / RAC outs you could try that on the B&O, something such as a CD or DVD player.

Perhaps the pins in the DIN to rca connector lead are configured as an input, not an output?
In the post someone suggests pins 1 and 4 are used for the output with 2 as the ground.
Can you dismantle the RCA plug and see how it is wired? On some of those RCA plugs, the plastic cover slides off backwards if you press in a little plastic tab and then the plug splits in two.
Swap your DIN Aux-Out cable for a DIN Aux-In cable -- and turn down the volume! -- and you will likely hear your Sonos Connect on the Beosound 9000 just fine. (Actually, you could buy a DIN Aux In&Out cable (also called Tape In/Out) thus you have all 4 RCA plugs, so you can play with them yourself -- and not rely on some vendor who doesn’t know his in from his out!:-)
