Components and Architectural

It’s a much discussed topic here how some audio receivers add a delay to music from a Sonos Port.  I use a Port to send a signal to my Marantz AV7704. The Marantz then sends a signal to my Macintosh Amp which powers the speakers in my living room. Due to the processing done by the Marantz, a slight, but annoying, delay is introduced to the music coming out of the speakers attached to the Marantz when compared to the rest of my Sonos system throughout my house.  The rest of my house is mostly in-ceiling speakers powered by Sonos amps.A common answer is for me to put the Marantz into “direct” mode.  If the Marantz doesn’t have to process the music, no delay is added. But I think this is a poor answer.  The processing in all the non-direct modes makes the sound of the music so much better  I guess it’s too hard for Sonos to allow us to add a delay to the rest of our Sonos system so the whole house will be synced up to the delayed room.  Else they would have done this. So given that Soson

Anyone successfully hooked up A-series Emotiva Amp(s) to multi-room Sonos Ports?

Using Sonos Connect as a streamer (digital output) in a DAC amp, why can't I play 96 khz files ?My DAC can easily convert this file format but Sonos Controller tells me it’s not possible ….

Does anyone know where I can source a connect gen 2?

Was enjoying music on several zones, via old connect:amp, and hooked up newer connect in pool house for spring; did an update to pool house connect and now no connect:amps or Play 5 are showing up in Sonos S1 controller.  I have S2 on my phone to control music at other locations but use S1 at home.

I'd like to be able to EQ my turntable and have it set differently than the normal EQ settings I have going through my beam 2 and surrounds while watching TV or streaming music.My first issue is that when I add the Connect to the TV room it creates a separate TV Room 2. I'd like to just add it to the existing room but it doesn't seem possible.When music is playing via turntable to connect to tv room setup, the EQ with the Connect doesn't do anything for the sound. It is only when I go to the speakers playing the music, tv room, I can change EQ settings. Id like to just have something set for the turntable as it needs a little more bass and don't want to have to change EQ settings when switching back to TV. Basically TV Room 2 EQ doesn't work at all.Can I just add the connect to the TV Room?Can I have a separate EQ setting just for the connect/turntable only, that will play music in my TV room setup?My setup is aTV RoomBeam Gen 2Surrounds SL gen 2TV Room 2Turntable into Sonos Connect Ge

Interested if others have experienced problems with grouping speakers and Sonosnet I have 3 Rooms with Stereo Speakers + Sub (2 with S1+Sub, 1 with S5+sub).  Another 2 rooms with single Play 1’s.  Speakers are initially on Sonosnet via a Boost. When I group all speakers to the S5+Sub room and Music has started, I then advance to the next song.  The S5+Sub plays new song fairly quickly, but the  2 S1+sub rooms start and stop playing intermittently.  Sometime L or R only.  After about 1-1.5min, all speakers are playing as expected in the group.  Advance to next song same problem repeats.  If I wait till the song end and then normal advance to next song, all speakers generally are in sync fairly quickly.

L then R then ..., then no audio, then L then eventually all speakers playing), then Diagnostic 1865270988 when sound is stable - in case Sonos are watching) Disconnect Sonos and wait till all speakers are on local WiFi.Start a group ses

I currently own a Sonos Amp Gen 2 and the Sonos by Sonance speaker pair (OUTDRWW1). I’m now going to be installing a new cedar ceiling on my outdoor porch and thought it is a good time to see if an upgrade is in order. I see there are these new MAG Sonance speakers:https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sonance-mago6sysv3-mag-series-2-0-ch-outdoor-speaker-system-powered-by-sonos-each-paintable-white/6438662.p?skuId=6438662 As well as these in-ceiling speakers by Sonance:https://www.sonos.com/en-ca/shop/ceiling-speaker-pair?gclid=CjwKCAjwitShBhA6EiwAq3RqA-5GNADYZzhh45rIOWrWBUWnxwbJdAQ-F67qLYPP4ngIcDSvyJLNOxoC1-oQAvD_BwE&utm_medium=cpc&gclsrc=aw.ds&utm_term=PRODUCT_GROUP&utm_content=GGL_CA_EN_SONOS_B_PLA_SHOPPING_SMART-ALL_360i&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=GGL_CA_EN_SONOS_B_PLA_SHOPPING_SMART-ALL_360iI’m even open to installing four of the in-ceiling ones spread over the porch ceiling instead of just two.Would that provide a further sonic improvement? I think I read that

I have been thinking about this for quite some time. Not everyone is solely SONOS or Audiophile-grade components. However, SONOS plays in an upper scale price point for casual-listening of music and does so very well. That same household might have a higher-end network streamer like the NAD C700 which is a streamer/amplifier with speaker outputs in a room more dedicated to music. How would one connect these two concepts and play the same music everywhere? Without a SONOS Port adding $500 to the budget?The idea is to play higher res and MQA files in the “listening” room and send the same audio stream to SONOS the system to play at 24-bit/44 kHz …Impossible? Ideas? Thoughts? Solutions?

My ZP90 keeps flashing white and does not show up in S1 anymore.  I had run an update which completed downloading to the unit but got stuck at unit "restart" with light flashing white for a few days.  I tried plugging off and on and tried reset by holding the mute button but light just keeps flashing as soon as I plug in power.  Is there anything else I should do?  Thanks!

I wanted to know three things?1-how many Sonos ceiling speakers can I install?2-do they need to be hardwired to the amp or can they connect with Bluetooth or WiFi?3- can the amp handle multiple zones?  For example speakers in dinning room only or dinning room and bedroom only?  

So I have my new Sonos/Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable set up through Connect. Line -In Autoplay set to play when the needle drops, to the correct room, etc.  My problem is, sometimes Autoplay doesn’t Autoplay. There is no sound coming through speakers. I have to push Play/Pause on the Connect and then I hear.Also, sometimes when all is good and I group rooms, it goes back to silent and I have to push Play/Pause again to get sound.Play/Pause is not a button I use or want to use. It’s just the only thing that fixes this.Any idea why I’m getting the silence? Is something triggering pause? Why doesn’t Autoplay work all the time? I’m also getting slips in the grouped rooms. Any advice on this?Why can’t this just work? Is Connect just too old a technology?Thanks guys.    

Can I get a wireless guitar system to connect directly to my Sonos amp?

I have in ceiling sonance c6r speakers (max 85watt, 8 ohm) in my house. My main room is set up for 5.1 with a speaker above my TV but are currently connected to a Sonos amp which I have recently connected to my TV. The center speaker is not currently added to the amp.Is it possible to add the center speaker to this amp without breaking it?

I’ve recently transffered my music to a 1 TB external SSD.I’m using a Mac Studio (Ventura 13.2.1). The Music app on the Mac is setup to use the external drive as its library. All works OK on the Mac.If I add the Library to my Sonos (I add in as an External Drive and point it to the Music folder) it initailly recognises the folder and says it is starting to Index. Nothing happens. Normally I would see the ...Indexing next to the ‘Music Library’ on the Music Sources list, but nothing is there. If I run the ‘Update Music Library Now’, the Indexing can appear for a second or two and then disappears (or most of the time it just freezes the Sonos app and I have to Force Quit).Using Finder I can see that Sonos has a ‘Custom’ Sharing Privilege permission on the drive (generated when I first setup the Library in Sonos). It appears to have rights to access the folder, but the Library Indexing always fails.Any advice would be welcome.

OK, I had been running two Sonos connect units for a few years. Both were set up as wired units as I do not wish to rely on wifi). Long story short either unit will play STREAMING music just fine, but with files from my .flac library this pausing occurs, and appears to be totally random. There was a time when if I started a playlist / album both units would play just fine. However it seems that once you try to control the sonos app via an android phone, that’s when the trouble starts. I’ve got a galaxy S20 and my girlfriend a galaxy 5. We’ve tried running the S1 app via each phone, logged in and not - it makes zero difference. I spent 90 minutes in chat w sonos (they passed me off to three different “associates” in a row, and each time the new associate would ask for “some time to review the case”...I had to repeat things over and over...so frustrating) and in the end nothing was resolved. Even their advice seemed suspect (mostly focusing on wifi despite me having told them that I do n

The original system was the Bose Built Invisible that had the sub woofer and rear speakers built into the wall.  It had a separate amp for all the speakers that is no longer working. Want to add an Arc with two amplifiers (one for the rears and one for the sub) for the home theater room.Will the set up in the Amp allow for a stand alone sub woofer only.  Trying to do this without having to get a separate power amplifier to use the sub output.       

HelloI have recently purchased a Cambridge Audio AXA35 to go with my setup. Setup consists of:2x Sonos One SLsSonos PortSony PS-LX310BT turntable I want to play vinyl on my turntable through my Sonos speakers and be able to control the volume and settings through the Cambridge Audio AXA35. However I cannot figure out the optimum way of connecting all the various components to achieve what I want. I have the phono outputs from the turntable and an analogue RCA cable currently. I am able to get sound by connecting the turntable output to the amplifier phono inputs, with the turntable set to “Phono". And then connecting the REC out to the In ports on the Sonos Port. However even with the line out set to “fixed" in the Sonos app I can still control the volume in the app and the volume controls and settings on the amp don't do anything.I am not the most AV minded so grateful if someone could possibly advise where I'm going wrong… Thanks

My understanding, the Port has no onboard volume control. Is there a way to rig and external knob or something to do so? How to?

My Connect has been remarkably sporadic. I have updated my controllers, and then the app led me through two hardware updates. Yet the Connect drops out after a few minutes. I hit “Stop” and “Play” on the app, and we’re good again… for a few.Yes I’ve rebooted router.Yes I’ve rebooted EVERY Sonos product.It’s a Connect with a direct line-of-sight to the router. Ten feet away. In a 1300 square foot apartment. The router is eight months old. Diagnostic 1493639714

HiAnyone knows hos to wire up an old Connect Gen 1 to a set of BeoLab 2500 Active Loudspeakers.Each speaker can only have a black 5 pin round connecter for input and I don´t know how to get from this to the white and red female single pin connecter socket on the Connect Gen 1.I guess I need some kind of special cable for this and hope someone can help me figure out what I need to buy ?Would this setup even work for streaming music from my Sonos 1 App ?/Lars

I have an entirely new Sonos system throughout my home and have the black Sonos amps in one room I want to use my old S1 subwoofer would these two be compatible?

Hi, please can you help me, I have recently installed ceiling speakers and they sounded incredible, until I asked the decorator to paint them to match the room.. they now sound terrible and like they are under water, Anyone have any suggestions please? (they are paintable) Thank you 

Hi Guys, My traditional AV Receiver has kicked the bucket so I decided to dip my toe into the world of Sonos . all new to me so apologies in advance for any dumb questions! I have purchased a second hand Amp ZP100 Gen 1 to replace the AV Receiver which currently runs 4 x Monitor audio CT180 in ceiling speakers. They are rated at 6 ohms. I wanted to connect simply connect 2 speakers to the left channel and 2 speakers to the right channel of the Sonos amp. However on reading it looks like doing this means the rating lowers to 3 Ohms which will cause issues with the sonos Amp causing it to shut down for protection.  Is my understanding correct and im better of just using 2 speakers not 4?Thanks in advance
