Connect:Amp line-in plays everywhere except on the Connect:Amp

I have one Connect:Amp and two Play:1. The home theater is wired into the Connect:Amp through RCA line-in. The outdoor speakers are wired out through the speaker connections.
The Connect:Amp and the outdoor speakers will play all music sources except line-in.
The Play:1 speakers with play all music sources including Connect:amp line-in.

Obviously line-in works, because I can get sound from it through the Play:1 speakers.
Why can't I get the Connect:Amp speakers to play the Connect:Amp line-in. They play other sources.

    Rookie mistake.
    I turned it off, turned it back on. All of it works.

    It seems like there must be something daft happening. What happens if you group all the zones together and play the line in?

    Thank you for your interest.
    If I group all of the zones together, the Play:1's will have sound, the Connect:Amp will not have sound.

    The technical setup of the line-in is somewhat complicated (because of previous equip prior to Sonos). It starts with my Directv HR44-700. I have the HDMI cabled to my Pioneer VSX-1123. From the Pioneer I output HDMI through the HDZone output. That runs into a Monoprice HDMI-to-analog converter. The analog output from this runs into the Connect:Amp.

    I tried running analog from the Pioneer Zone-2 directly to the Connect:Amp. No audio from line-in anywhere.

    I tried running analog from the Directv directly to the Connect:Amp. No audio through Connect:Amp, choppy broken audio through the Play:1s

    It's a very weird problem that my puzzle solving brain cannot figure out.
