Components and Architectural

I am brand new to Sonos. Managed to set up ERA300 after some help from tech support and can stream music from phone. Nice!But installed  Port to send music from old amp (like from CDs) to speaker. Installed ok but I can't figure out how to actually use the Port as a source. Likely obvious but I'd appreciate guidance. Apologies for low level question and thanks. BT

The power amplifier has stopped outputting sound. all other aspects (front end; WiFi, etc. are still working.  Inside on the main card I found the main amp power supply is supposed to be 36v. In my case it is only 17v. All low volt supplies are present and correct. Has anyone else experienced low supply volts and what did they do to fix it. Can’t find any broken diodes on the board. Does anyone have a circuit diagram?? BR Pete D.

Hi, I have a single story double-fronted weatherboard in Melbourne, Australia that is being extended, restored and built next year and currently planning placement of in-ceiling sonos speakers by sonance and would love guidance and advice on optimal size (6” or 8”) and placement for both 2 x bathroom areas (Bath 1/W.I.R and Bath 2/Laundry) and then open plan living (TV), dining and kitchen area.For the living (TV) area I plan to have Sonos Arc Ultra, Sub 4, and currently 2 x 8” in-ceiling as rears, but thinking it would make sense to have a 2nd pair of 8” in-ceiling more for the dining/kitchen area and for music. The bench that goes from the kitchen through to the dining will have a turntable and was thinking an Era 300… is this too much? or?In the bathrooms, I thought 6” but maybe 8” would be better and in non stereo? unsure on exact placement or how close could have to shower…Bath 1 is 2.9m - could have speaker in/near showerBath 2/Laundry is 2.9m but then there is a skylight above t

Attempting to update network settings. Being asked for an 8 digit pinConnect amp categorically does not have an 8 digit pin printed either on underside or back. Stuck! Moderator Note - Recorded and removed serial number.

Like many others, I have had issues with the new Sonos skipping songs and stopping play altogether. The answers given on this forum don’t appear to have fixed the issues, at least in my case, but I finally tried something that seems to have helped the issue. I post it here since it seems all the forum questions regarding this issue have been closed.My network has a Linksys router, with a Beam located 3 feet from the router (wireless connection), and two remote speakers located 10-15 feet from the router, so signal strength is very strong. Re-booting everything did not help. Finally, I logged into the router and found the Sonos device on the network. The Linksys router I have allows up to three network devices to be give higher priority, so I gave the Sonos device high priority on the network, and the skipping is improved, but not totally eliminated. It’s barely usable at this point.So I agee that the song skipping issue is network related, but something needs to be done in the new Sono

I have a single Sonos Connect Gen 2 in my setup. It is connected via Ethernet, and WiFi was previously deactivated. After encountering sound issues, I decided to reinstall the system. I deleted the Sonos app, reinstalled it, and performed a factory reset on the Connect.The Sonos app finds the system and prompts me to press the pause button. After doing so, I get an error message stating that it cannot connect to “”. I tried changing the WiFi name and connecting to a different network, but no wired or WiFi networks are detected.I suspect the Connect's WiFi is still disabled, and the installation process cannot reactivate it. I'm now stuck and unable to complete the setup.Please assist with resolving this issue or provide guidance on re-enabling WiFi to complete the setup process.Thank you.

Hi, Since the ill-fated app update we have lost the ability to alter the Amp's speaker balance. An astounding omission for a supposedly high-end audio product.I used this every day as my dining table is close to one speaker so I would adjust the balance then set it back when listening from the sofa. What is the timeline for restoring this basic feature? I can't see it on the trillo board.   

I currently have 4 Sonos (2 pairs) 8inch in-ceiling speakers connected to my AMP. I purchased another pair of 8 inch sonance (Not Sonos/ sonance only) speakers. Will the amp be able to handle this? 

Hey everyone, I'm trying to decide placement of the Sonos by Sonance Architectural speakers for my patio. Since I'm an audio novice, trying to see if anyone could offer advice for speaker placement.Attached is the layout of the patio (brown) and yard (light green). The black areas are where the house is located. The numbers are roughly the dimensions (in feet) of the yard.There are three potential speaker locations in red, green, and blue circles. What two speaker positions out of the three would work best for coverage of the patio and yard?Thank you!  

Hi I’ve a Keff 400b Sub. it’s a expensive sub.  Part of my old system. I’ve moved over to Sonos. ( not sure if I’ve made the right move 🙈)I’m using 2 x play5.  As stereo. 1 x Sonos sound bar 1 x play1 but I would like to use my existing Keff SuBive purchased a Sinos connect ( eBay. Second hand ) but it’s saying This product is only compatible with the SonosS1 Controller. It isn't compatible with your Sonos S2 app.so my question   Can I connect my sub as a sub within my Sonos system. thx for any help you can give me. Phil 

Good evening,I am having a strange issue where I have 16 SONOS Port that do not get a an address from the DHCP Server. The issue occurs if I connect the devices to the ISP modem and also if I connect them to a SonicWall TZ670. However the DHCP assignment process works fine if I connect the Sonos devices to an old TZ300.On the packet capture from the firewall I can see how the DHCP process which is supposed to be Discover-Offer-Request-ACK is being repeated Dicover-Offer and the Sonos devices are ignoring the DHCP Offer and start over. Also many other devices work fine with DHCP on this network. We have done more than 100 installations with Sonos and Sonicwall and this is the first time that we have this issue. All devices are connected with a cable to a Cisco switch which has the recommended STP settings.The DHCP offer is being sent to the broadcast address 255.255.255.255 / ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. I am mentioning this because there are DHCP servers that are sending unicast Responses and AF

My connect amp keeps flashing red.  I factory reset it but it goes back to flashing red.  I’ve spent hours on here trying to figure it out. It’s a new house to us and the rest of the Sonos system is working well but this one connect amp.  Looking for some more troubleshooting advice.  

I have a full sonos system around the house and integrate my Rega planar P1 and Marantz CD6007 using a sonos port.  My question is this:Can I improve the sound output from my Marantz CD6007 by connecting an external DAC inline (using the optical output) and then into the Port, or is that just a DAC into a DAC? The Port obviously has a DAC inside it but can I improve the signal before it gets to the Port?Many thanks in advanceNeil

I can’t connect my Port to the old Stereo--I’m including a photo of the back of the stereo. I believe I need to connect the Port input to the Speaker section.  However, it’s not working.    

I have two amps connected you can play on both individually but cant link them to play together? 

Hi, am I the only one considering to swap out Sonos to Bluesound?Bluesounds newer products is launched with Dirac room correction, which allows to fine tune any speaker that is connected to it. And the also provides a wireless sub.

I purchased some products from Dubai, and I want to use them. However, when I try to set them up in the app, I receive an error message saying, 'We couldn't link your Sonos Amp to your account.' What should I do? Please help

sonos amp dose not work with CUBY mesh system 

I have a Port connected to my Preamp, which is connected to my Amp, a Sub, and 2 speakers. I also have a turntable w/a Turntable Preamp, and a CD player. I currently use the Port as a streamer for the  majority of listening. The sound is good, but lately I find I want to adjust the tone of the music, as previously my integrated amp did that. What component(s) should I consider (besides tube rolling on my Preamp) for adjusting tone? Should I add another DAC? An equalizer of some kind? Forget about the Port? Any and all suggestions are welcome!

I have a stereo pair of Play: 1 and a stereo pair of Symfonisk. Is it possible to add a Sonos Sub Mini to one of the pairs without unpairing the stereo pair?

I use Spotify to play podcasts.  They cannot be streamed directly from within the Sonos app, so you must use the Spotify app and then sync to whichever Sonos speaker you wish to stream through via the speaker icon within the Spotify app. However, constantly my Sonos units are disappearing from that app and do not reappear.  I've tried uninstall and reinstall, logging out of the account etc, all to no avail.  Anyone have the solution?  TIA

Found my previously fine ZP90 flashing red indicating it needed  a reboot post upgrade (which I did not instigate). Rebooted it and now it’s dead. Plenty of comments going around about Sonos bricking old hardware, but nee to know if I’m missing something before considering the future. I have a mainly S1 system as it suits my needs. S1 was/is working fine on the rest of the devices, so maybe this is isolated, but this is the wired component and the rest is wireless from it. Doing the prescribed restart (hold in the mute whilst power on does nothing). LAN lights ok, but cannot connect via IP or LAN address. I’m an IT professional, so understand the network, architecture etc, so no, it’s not network related and only affects this item.  What next?

Hello!I’m moving into a new place that has wired speakers throughout the house. The wall plate has a 3.5mm input that uses cat5 to a panel in the basement. The speakers then go from the panel to the rest of the house. The amp has the speaker connectors to output to the speakers but I can’t do that. So my question is, Can I use a 3.5mm to speaker wire adapter? Or can I go from speaker wire to RCA to 3.5mm jack?Thanks everyone!

Ever since the Sonos updates mess with everything my Sonos Port just stops working.  Everyday I have to unplug and plug it in to get it working.  This device feeds my whole house distribution system so it been a pain.Has anyone heard if there is a date when Sonos is going to get its act together and fix this mess.  Don’t understand why they just don’t pull the new mess down and put the old app back until they can get it right.very frustrating 

I have a somewhat old Amp that seems to have died a few days ago. I was listening to it one evening, and clicked the play / pause button to turn it off. The next day, it was dark and wouldn’t power up or connect. I reset it with the button on the back, and the light will come on and blink white for a while, which is encouraging at first. But then it goes dark. And if you press the play / pause button it will blink red three times, then go dark again.I suspect it is a brick. Looking around the internet, it looks like sonos does not do out of warranty repairs? Just trying to figure out my options here.
