Hi all, my system has 3 Sonos amps: 2 newer ones and a Connect:amp. The 2 newer amps have no problem connecting, but I have to reboot the Connect:amp each time to get it to play. When I check under “Your System” on the app, it shows that the Connect:amp is connected and apparently playing through the speakers, but I have to unplug it and reboot it before it connects. I’ve powered off my router and modem and disconnected / reconnected all devices, but this didn’t solve it. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a Marantz SR6014 with 3 Sonos amps already installed across 3 zones. I added a Sonos Port to the receiver so that I could stream music through my TV surround as an additional zone (added to the phono rca connections) however the sound is not very clear and even after adjusting the eq etc, still a little muffled. My question is, if I replace the Sonos Port with another amp, would it sound better? Could I just hook it up to the rca ports on the receiver, or is there a better way for optimal sound?     

Hi-i have 2 Sony cd mega players- a cdp-cx450 and a 300 disc version. They can be daisy chained together (which means only 1 input to the amp is required). I’ve got a Sonos port and a Teac amp (with numerous input and output possibilities. One Sony player uses the A1 control system and the other uses A1-II.I also have wired speakers hooked up to my amp (I’m using port both to create a zone on another floor and also to accommodate streaming of analog equipment (the cd players). I can get streamed music to play through the Port, but not my cd players. I’ve done this setup previously but in spite of extensive effort so far (and one not at all helpful call to Sonos support), I haven’t gotten it to work. I’m thinking it is a Sonos software setting (maybe related to pass through or group (which I don’t recall using when I used a previous version of the Sonos app). Has anyone gotten this or a similar setup to work? Anyone have any ideas?Thank

I was forced to change my wifi password. A plain, simple password change. No changes to the network as such.To no surprise, this did not go down very well with the Sonos system. Not able to handle at all. Components dropping out, lost, half of the stereo pair and so on. The default message: “An error occured”. Go figure.The solution: hard reset of all components connected wireless, followed by several reboots of router and components. Took me about four hours to get it all working again. Well, some sort of working. Still issues with sound randomly dropping.Needless to say I didn’t bother to contact support as they would have adviced what I already new: reset and reboot.One should assume a password change should be straightforward but no, no, not with Sonos. Unbelievable, but also not surprised. After more than a year (and still counting) after the Grand App Debacle getting used to this.

Hello, hoping someone can assist. I have the Sonos Amp, 2 x in-wall speakers, 1 x Era 100 and 1 x FIVE. I use an RP1 turntable and stream music.I would like to add a pair of floor standing speakers. The ones I’m looking at are the Tekton Lore (8ohms).Is this possible? Any recommendations or thoughts? Thank you 

I just bought the Port system.  I connected it to my wifi just fine.  Then about a week later I bought the EERO Mesh system as the wifi in my house needed help.  I found that if my phone was connected to the Mesh it would not run the Sonos, so I would have to change the wifi on my phone.  This seemed silly so I decided to update the network on my Port to the Mesh.  However, it won’t work.   I can see that the Mesh sees the Port when on Ethernet, but nothing will work to acdtually switch the Port over to the Mesh system.  I’ve restarted,  i’ve factory reset but nothing.  Any suggestions or is the port not compatable?

I have an approximately 8-year-old Sonos Amp - CONNECT AMP.  We turned it on and it failed to work - no sound from the speakers.  The unit was working fine when we turned it off.  There have been no changes to the system since we used it last.  The light on the front of the unit, which was formally green, is now white/light pink in color.  I have a second Sonos Amp (same model) located directly below it that still works fine and the light is green.  Any ideas on how to fix the non-working amp?  Thank you.

So i think there was an update this Monday 21/7-2025 which broke my very old connect:amp.I have an old bridge, old connect:amp and a newish Port as my network.On monday i find out that the network is dead. I remove the bridge as apparently i dont need that anymore, and connect the port and the connect:amp via ethernet cable instead.If i only have the Port connected, it works. If i add the connect:amp nothing works.I had been having internet issues since Monday too, so i downloaded a ping test program, and my internet kept dropping.If i turn off the connect:amp suddenly there is no issue with the internet.My conclusion: the connect:amp was stealing A LOT of bandwidth.Any help on this issue?

Trying to downgrade a ZP90 to S1 (not compatible with S2).  Was on with phone support for over an hour, with various “reset the device, reset the router, reset your phone” steps over and over again, but every time I go to downgrade to S1, the S2 app does not see the device.   And the S1 app on my desktop computer (and my iPhone) tell me I have to control it via the S2 app.Anyone have a secret step I’m missing to allow the S2 app to actually see the ZP and downgrade it to S1?

Hi, I’m setting up a home theatre and need some advice on wiring and what components to get. I have a sonos arc, sonos in-ceiling speakers (x2), amp, & sonos roam. I also plan to get the pro-ject T1 turntable.  My goal is to watch TV with the arc + in-ceiling speakers. And occasionally listen to music on the pro-ject t1 turntable on the arc + in-ceiling speakers. Not at the same time of course. I asked ChatGPT and it told me to get 2 amps.  Is this possible with one amp? Is there anything else I should get for a TV/Music setup?

My play 1 (gen 1) is dead! I opened it up to check the 2amp fuse which is fine. On examination I found that R310 has blown.  My question is what value resistor is this? Any ideas what may have caused it to pop?  

I have an existing system up and running.  I just purchased a Bridge. Can I add it to my existing system??

I have a CD player and a turntable (built-in pre amp) to connect to my Sonos ecosystem.If I have paired Sonos 5s can I use the 3.5mm audio-in on each 5 to then play through the stereo pair (and in other rooms for that matter)?I think I can but want to check firstthanksOldskool

Hi Team,I am facing random connection drop issues between Sonos app on iPhone and the speaker system. Here is the situation. Everything was working as expected for the past three years but since almost a week, Sonos app on my iPhone dies with the error - No Sonos system found. Opening play.sonos.com on a computer also shows the same error. Randomly after closing the app and relaunching it for a few times, the system shows up again. But it is mostly hit and try.Have been using Sonos Arc + Siub Gen 3 + Sonos Roam for the past 3+ years without any issue. Nothing has changed in terms of SSID, router, placement of the system etc. Sonos Arc, Sonos Sub Gen 3, Sonos Roam are all connected to the router (wirelessly), and the internet is working. All systems are up and running as expected. All Sonos devices are working as expected.  The iPhone with Sonos app (and computer with play.sonos.com open) is on the same network as the So

I’ve been trying to play both an iPod (classic) and a CD player through my Sonos Connect (line-in). Regardless of the source, it always shows “Line-In Disconnected”. I’ve tried different cables, restarting the app and factory resetting the Connect. None have worked. Suggestions? 

Hi All,I was hoping someone could give me some troubleshooting thoughts on an issue I’m having with my outdoor speakers (Polk Atrium 6) connected to my Sonos Amp (Gen 2). I have 4 Polk Atrium 6 speakers (2 pairs) connected to my Sonos Amp. One pair on my upper patio and one pair on my lower patio.  I also have volume control knobs on the inside of my house for each pair.I’ve had this setup for 6 years with no issues.Last week, one of the upper patio speakers stopped working. The other upper patio speaker worked and so did the lower patio speakers.  I thought the one speaker may have went, so I bought a new pair of the same exact speakers.  They came today - I unplugged the amp, disconnected the non-working speaker/reconnected the new speaker, plugged the amp back in.  Thought this would be a simple fix - of course not.   Now both upper patio speakers are not working.  The lower patio speakers still work.  I double checked that I hooked u

Hello,In our living room, we have a Connect Amp and an Arc bar connected to four speakers and our television set.  That room is just beside our pool terrasse.  Is it possible to add 2 speakers for the pool … and, since they are not always required, those speakers would be switched on manually.Thanks in advance. 

I have Era 100 speakers installed in my home. I also have a turntable with its built-in simple amplifier. I want to know what equipment I should purchase so the turntable can play through my Era 100 speakers, and I also want to listen to my TV through the same speakers. I understand I should buy an amplifier and a sound bar, and I could achieve what I want, but I'd like to be sure.

I have a Definitive Technology subwoofer and 2 Polk Audio floor speakers hooked up to Sonos Amp. Sonos app is running on iOS.A few days ago the sub controls disappeared. I can’t control the volume or crossover (or phase) for my subwoofer anymore. I tried rebooting everything and deleting the app and reinstalling. Nothing. I contacted technical support at Sonos and he had me send screenshots and also submit a diagnostic report. After some time he finally let me know that the technical support team is aware of the issue and is currently working on it with NO ETA!The sub plays. But I can’t fine tune the sub for the music I’m listening to. I assume there was a recent update to the software. But tech support never commented when I asked if this issue was due to an update. 

I currently have  a Gen2 amp running two Bose freespace 51’s for my backyard audio. I want to upgrade to the Gen3 amp and am considering replacing the Bose speakers with the Sonance Omni-6t 360 degree in ground speakers since the Bose speakers cannot handle the additional watts that the Gen3 amp pushes. Anyone running this setup? 

Existing system is a Yamaha RX-A2A receiver with 5 speakers connected to a Sonos Port.  I want to add 2 Sonos speakers to the configuration. The 5 speakers will play surround sound and the 2 Sonos speakers will play stereo (I assume). Is it possible to add the 2 Sonos Era 100 speakers to this type of configuration. The room is a combined Living Room and Kitchen and the 2 Sonos speakers will be positioned in kitchen area to improve the volume of the sound. How can I add the Sonos speakers to the existing configuration?

I want to buy 2 sets of Sonos in ceiling speakers can one AMP run each set separately so I can shut one set off when not needed

After a recent os update one of my connect amps are showing as ‘not registered’ ? any simple solutions to this ??

Is there a way to hook up these to the amp??

I have several amps and they’ve all been performing fine for several months.  Today, one of the amps began sounding really “tinny”.  Sounds like a really cheap radio turned way up. I could maybe blame a speaker if it only happened to one but both speakers sound exactly the same.  I checked all the connections and they’re good.  I rebooted.  Any thoughts? Thanks!
