Components and Architectural

Morning allI’m not sure if this is an extreme use case, but please hear me out: I have a turntable and streamer+DAC combination connected to a headphone/pre-amp analog-in, which in turn has analog outputs to a Sonos Port. This is fine for listening to either digital or analog sourced music through my Sonos speakers, wherever they may be.However, I also have a set of passive speakers connected to monobloc amps (1 amp per speaker, L&R) and I was wondering if I connected my monobloc’s to a Sonos Port (potentially one Port for each monobloc), could I in theory send an audio signal from the Sonos Port connected to my headphone/pre-amp, wirelessly to the Port’s connected to the monobloc’s, these Port’s acting as a preamplifier to the monobloc’s, thereby allowing my passive speakers to effectively be active speakers, but of somewhat higher quality than a Sonos smart speaker?I am of course presuming that the music signal is at least CD quality/lossless and not compressed and that the Sonos

My Sonos amp that I use to play my record deck keeps disappearing out of my system   I re connect after had re set then it shows but then goes again.  Any advice ? 

If I connect a DAC vía cable to an era 300, but I have 2 era 300 , how do I play música on both?

Gentlemen, Swallow your pride and restore the original version which worked well, before you ruin the reputation of the company you work for. Work again on the update and offer it to your customers when it has been fully tested, or resign!  Simples. Time to admit failure and leave it to others more competent. 

Hi,I have a Sonos amp connected to my TV via an Hdmi arc cable. When watching tv, the sonos amps always turn on and use the external speakers. Even if I change the audio output on my tv to tv speakers, it switch to external speakers after 2/3 seconds.It is due to the fact that Sonos amp cannot be turn off.  Is there a way to not use the external speakers when watching tv ?  

I have hr church bells that come on each hour and some rings are only 20 seconds. Etc and play for a whole minute since it only allows minutes. I it should be very easy to also add seconds. I know I must be the only one out of the 20 million users that ever have church bells that come in on the hour but it be very nice to be able to have it in seconds since all of my clocks alarm Bells come on for seconds not minutes 

Hi - I am still running my system on S1 without many problems.  Lately, though, my ZonePlayer 100 is disappearing from the network.  I think I purchased the unit around 2005, so it might just be dying...however, it comes back into the visible zones and plays music every time I power the unit off and on.  Any ideas for things to try to make the problem stop recurring?  Thanks, David   

I’m experiencing weird crackling noise and distortion on a new Port through SPDIF output (streaming from Spotify).It sounds like digital clipping, and is most noticeable on low volume parts of songs.its not always there, sometimes it starts playing without it, but it always appears after a short while (or maybe I start noticing it after a while).output is set to “fixed” in the app, like recommended for use with external DACs, but in other modes the noise is also present.Sound from analog output is fine, but I bought Port to use with my own DAC, and don’t want to use analog output.I’ve never experienced anything like that with any other digital components.I tried connecting to 2 different DACs and also tried to pass Port’s spdif signal through a reclocker and also through spdif to toslink optical converter. Did not help. (All devices are known to work fine with other sources)Has anyone experienced anything like that? Do you think my unit is broken/DOA?any advise would be appreciated.tha

Hi,So I have a turntable connected to a pair of Sonos 5 speakers and the system has worked just fine for over a year. This morning I was listening to a record and went to turn the volume up via the app and when I hit Apply, the sound cut out completely and now I can’t hear anything. I’ve shut down the app, uninstalled and reinstalled it, checked all the settings but nothing has worked. The connections are all fine and literally the only thing that’s changed was hitting that Apply button.   Does anyone have any idea on what to do as I’m beyond annoyed at this.    Thanks. 

I have an assortment of older Sonos speakers and I was wondering, what component/s do I need to add to connect directly to my Wi-Fi network?  I’m currently using two Sonos bridges atm.  

Sub Gen 3 doesn't power up.  It makes a noise as if it is trying to boot but does nothing else.  There is an odd smell created as well.  In addition the power light does not illuminate.  It also cannot be discovered by the app.  It used to work fine and then it started doing this.

I have lost one set of in ceiling speakers in one room. They have just disappeared from my app.

Hello,Currently doing electrical remodel for a customer and dabbling into speakers as i have installed sonos amps and speakers for customer but this remodel has me hesistant. As this customer wants to use existing speaker throughout house. The house has over 22 speakers which each room has a a wall volume control as two speakers in each room will run to volume control then ran to media center in living room(speaker wire 16/4 and ethernet). I want to split house into 6 zones, listed below. Basically asking could i just have the wire ran from volume control wired straight into the amp or would i have too disconnect volume control(outdated i believe) and run new wires from each speaker to new amp?Trying to avoid running new wires to existing speakers, but am fine doing so if needed. Just confused if I’m over thinking and the volume control is just something that can coexist and use the speaker wire/ethernet ran back to the media center. Living room(4 speakers)Kitchen/Dining(4 Speakers)Bed

I have a Sonos amp connected to 4x Architectural ceiling speakers and a Sonos amp. The speakers work quite well but lack a little bass. As soon as the amp is added to the system, the equaliser and fader no longer work. 

Hello fellow members I have a question regarding the Sonos boost. I have been using it for a few years as I decided to add a separate Wi-Fi network to all my Sonos speakers in the house. Since I never had a problem with signal dropouts.Recently I added a pair of ERA 300’s as surround speakers and looking into the system settings in the Sonos app to check if the new ERA’s where connected to the separate Wi-Fi Sonos network I realised that I no longer can see in the settings if the speakers are connected to the Sonos boost by looking at the WM setting. My Sonos boost has been always connected directly to my router using a RJ45 and I am wondering now if Sonos have dropped this device whether or not it is worth still having this connected and if there is any benefit al all?thanks.  

Looking for guidance.  I still have a cable box through Xfinity to provide my cable service.  I have surround sound in my main room through a Yamaha receiver which is connected to my port.  However, through my kitchen, foyer, and other rooms i have a combination of Sonos 5’s and Sonos One’s.  Typically on a Sunday when NFL is on, i like to connect the main room, and tie the speakers in the kitchen and other areas of the house to hear the game i’m watching.  When the season began, i went to connect all of the speakers together, and the option in my Sonos app for “Line IN” or “TV” was gone.  I spent the next two hours on the phone with support.  We reset the port, we deleted the app from my phone and reinstalled it, nothing would get the option to connect the speakers together through the surround sound.  Regular streaming music was fine and could be played to all of the speakers.  This would elude that the port was working.  This happened to me in the past, but was resolved when an upda

I am trying to add a boost to my network. All my stuff is S1 and it says boost is incompatible but I have read that it can be added with S1 app. How to go about this?

Sonos used to work well, I started using it many years ago but the new app is very slow and I have to call support to get the system up and running. Now I turned off the 2.4GHz network and tried to run sonos on 5GHz. Does not work so system is not working (again) since a week. The ‘wizards’ in the slow S2 app does not help and system can’t be found. I even tried downloading the old S1 app to get that running with the system, but it does not find any of the speakers. I use Android (tried with 2 different phones) and Play 1, Play 3 as well as connect amp.

I have two pairs of in-wall Sonance Architectural Speakers wired to an Amp. I have had no difficulty in the past detecting them. There are no other Speakers wired to the Amp. The detect function no longer works. Is it possible th as that I have mixed up the polarity of the cables?

My Patio setup with Amp and Polk speakers won’t connect with any other rooms.  I can play music through the Patio, however, it won’t sync with other rooms even with the Patio next to the living room.  All other rooms can connect with each other without issue. I’ve reset the router, disconnected the power to the Amp, shut down the App.  Nothing seems to work so far. I submitted a diagnostics: **********Moderator edit: recorded and removed diagnostics number

I installed 3 new sonos amp for my customer upgrading from their existing S2 sonos connect amp setup as they wanted to use airplay 2 features.after setting up the 3 x new sonos amps I tried to use one of the old sonos connect amp for an additional zone powering 2 x speakers. i factory reset the old connect amp and It initially allowed me to add to the new system but then kept saying that the connect amp needed to be added and would not complete the process and error message unplug power for device reconnect and try again. After several attempts i decided to remove and test back in my office. I factory reset the Sonos connect amp and have added it to a new system with 1 x sonos move. It seems to have added to the system fine and i can play spotify to each of the devices but if i try grouping them together it will not complete the task and error message unable to connect please try again later. Any help or guidance on this matter would be appreciated. 

I am setting up a multi-room set-up in the Master Bath of our new house.  I am going to have one in-ceiling speaker in the wet room.  This speaker needs to be weather resistant and have stereo inputs. The best speaker I have found for this application is the Monitor Audio AWC265-T2.  It is an 8 Ohm speaker with two tweeters to provide both left and right sound. The wet room is about 6 feet by 9 feet with a sloped ceiling and a lot of glass (two big windows and a wall of glass).  The other part of the set-up is the part of the bathroom with the sinks and is 6 feet by 11 feet.  I want to use 2 Sonance in-wall speakers in that room.  They would be set 8 feet off the ground, 2 feet from the ceiling on the short wall which is only 6 feet wide.  A couple of questions.  Are the tweeters pivoting in the Sonance in-wall speakers?  Can I use remote volume switches between the amp, that will be the source for all 4 speakers (Amp will see the Monitor Audio speaker as 2) and the speakers so that I

Help needed…Hello Team, So I am currently renovating our house. I have been a Sonos customer for a long time, through the good times and the bad. Now one option I am considering is sticking with Sonos and adding an Amp with six architectural in ceiling speakers for casual listening and parties (I love music all the time everywhere but am not an audiophile). The ceiling is vaulted and so the four speakers along the wall will be angled by the pitch towards the stairs/kitchen space. The two end speakers will be angled inwards also on opposing angles which all meets in the middle at about 4m height. Room is 11 x 4 metres roughly. Hard floors, hard ceilings, hard surfaces. Questions/Help asked:1. 6 or 8 inch? (will be a sub in the bench seat). The 6 inches can be tilted and the 8 cannot but As I’m using for music firing it straight down isn’t necessary I assume and there will be no fixed listening position due to the multi purpose nature of the space. 2. 4 or 6 speakers?3. Room Placement- d

Hey,I already bought this turntable a couple of years ago, but i’m trying to plug it in the Sonos Ampin the Analog Audio In with the RCA Audio Cable from the turntableAfterwards I follow the instructions from the manual to start playbackThe Sonos App shows there is a Line In connection but it doesn’t play on my speakers.It shows a sort of signal from playing and I heard that my Turntable plays a number.Also switched the button on the turntable to switch from phono to line and reverse.I’ve already tried so many things but I can’t get it to work.Can somebody help me?Best regards,Mark

I have a pair of connects. One died one day. Won't get out of the orange/white blink after a reset so figured it was time to replace them anyways. I purchased one WiiM to replace the broken Connect. After I got it set up I went to open the Sonos app just to make sure that was connected and I had a forced app update. After it updated and asked me to create a network again for my connect. Unfortunately it has not been able to find the connect that has been working for several years. When I tried doing another reset I tried turning the phone off and on. I've tried everything except try and connect it directly to the router just to set it up again.Is that my only option at this point or do you just replace that box since it's not supported anyways
