Components & Architectural

I have just bought a new amp and wanted to use it with connect. I wanted it to do two things. 1) Play sonos through my hi fi. This works fine. 2) Play my vinyl through the amp and the other Sonos speakers. I cannot manage to do this. My Sonos app recognises that there is a line in but does not put any sound out. Sonos say it is not the Connect as I managed to play my phone through the line in. I have an Arcam SA10 amp. Any ideas? Sonos tell me that I need to troubleshoot with Arcam.

I recently moved, and am trying to change my sonos player to the new wifi but can not connect. Please help me connect to my new wifi.

Hello, Hoping to see if there is an option for connecting Mac Tower -> Sonos Connect -> Play 5 for computer speaker sound. -Would it work to get a Sonos Connect, and then run a type of audio cable from the back of my Tower into the Sonos Connect, which would then be able to play it through the Sonos Play 5? -Would you guys know what type of cable would be needed for Mac Tower->Sonos Connect if that would work? Would there be delay from Youtube/Netflix for video to sound? Thanks very much.

I have a vacation rental property and just installed sonos. I want to setup the sonos through the guest wifi so my renters can access it without giving access to the main wifi. I bought a boost system but still can NOT get the sonos to run through the guest wifi.

I have followed the various community answers and connected my turntable to my connect. Sound play out through my hifi speakers which are connected to sonos but I cannot get any sound out of my soundbar. I have group them but still no sound. I cannot adjust the sounds of the hifi via the sonos app either.

Please make my sonos sub compatible with sonos connect... Sonos connect amp haven't enought power to drive my speakers..and i love sonos sub!

Hi, I have a Sonos Zoneplayer S5 that I am trying to use after a gap of 5 years and having changed countries - UK to India. while it was working fine in UK, I have been unable to set it up using the controller app on iOS. I have tried both the options - setting up as a new system or connecting to an existing system ( as it was set up before). Also I have tried connecting the player directly to my router with which my iOS device is also paired - again no luck. The Sonos controller keeps on saying 'unable to find the speaker', Did a factory reset as well, again with no results. Any help/guidance will be appreciated. Thanks

I have 1 Sonos connect amp, 6 in ceiling speakers, and 3 osd vms100 in Wall volume controls (controlling 2 speakers in each room)(https://www.outdoorspeakerdepot.com/vmimmaslvoco.html). Is this set up ok? I have yet to connect it all together. I do not want more than 1 Sonos as I specifically want same source in all 3 rooms. Thanks!

I have been trying to research this topic with all kinds of confusion. I want to use an existing SVS subwoofer (paid a lot of money for) with a playbase only. Playbase is connected to TV with optical and I want to use my own subwoofer. I will not be adding any more speakers to this mix. I would like to know if I can use the connect/amp just for the subwoofer to work with a playbase and if it will sync properly and the audio quality will be fine from the TV. Everything will be wired to network. I don't have interest in going all wireless. I'd rather not buy another sub since I already have a good sub. Thank you.

Hello, I've just asked a question in french, but it seems it shoulf work better if I write in english. Sorry if my sentences are badly written. Is it still possible to buy a Sonos bridge ? I cannot find any on Sonos website. I've just been to a store specialized in audio stuff, and I've been told to buy one, at 45 euros. It's much cheaper than a boost (which has the same utility ?). I've just moved in a big house ans I need a bridge as a Wi-Fi relay for Sonos. Thanks a lot !

See Title - I have no idea what other way to let them know.

Hi and thanks for the help. I'm on the verge of procuring an old record console from the 60's but want to make sure I can connect it to my system. I know the unit has RCA jacks labeled "tape in" and "tape out", and no headphone jack. Like consoles of it's time, it has two speakers, a radio, and the turntable. My Sonos system consists of a Playbar and Sub, 5 in-ceiling speakers with Connect:Amps attached, and a loose play 5 that I put in the most applicable room at the time. I think my solution is a Connect (not a Connect:amp) which when attached with RCA cables to the RCA in/out jacks on the connect will allow music streaming on my Sonos system to play through the console speakers and also allow vinyl playing on the console to play through the console speakers and the rest of my Sonos speakers. Am I right? I need a plug and play solution. Just want to make sure I'm doing this right before I sink a bunch of money into this.

Now that AirPlay 2 is available, we're slowly going through the process of upgrading our Play:1 speakers to Ones (well, except for those being used as surrounds - because, well you know, speaker stands). Anyway, the interior of our house is predominantly white, and so most of our Sonos components are white too. The Play:1 has a white case, but a nice complementary silver speaker grille, while the One is all white, which is nice too. We have a number of Play:5 Gen 1s as well, which also have a white case and a silver grille. Eventually we'd like to upgrade those too...however, lets face it Sonos, the white ones really aren't white are they - they're black with a tiny bit of white trim, because when you look at them from the front or even slightly side on, what is most visible is that big black grille. So, as the title asks, will Sonos produce an actually WHITE Play:5 Gen 2? Or will we have to wait for the Gen 3 (Sonos Two?), which I suppose will also have a micro

No happy that now I have to unlock my phone when my alarm goes off just to snooze or stop it, it’s absolute ridiculous, worst update so far ?

Hi there. Im migrating to Australia end of the yr from uk. Any ideas on whether i can purchase australian power cables for my sonos setup. Thanks in advance

Is the Dual XPR84D 2/1 High Performance Power MOSFET Class D 1000w Amplifier any good? I just bought an open box one for $55 dollars on Ebay.

With the new BEAM talking all about "sound", don't you think it's time Sonos, to add .wav and hi-res file playback capability to your products? If all you're concerned about is streaming, and there's no regard for people with higher quality files, then let's dispense with the Sound Quality invested in BEAM per the email solicit I just received which is shown below. Hey, I think Sonos is a decent product (despite the two plus years of constant drop-out problems, not totally figured out yet), but come on, let's get real. If you can't get Wave and Hi-Res files as part of the system, then really all you care about is streaming and Alexis and that's where your product is, and will continue to go. Giving up support for the dock (which can play wave through a classic iPod if it's docked), is inexcusable - especially if you don't support it in the last iPods sold (which you can still get in 120GB model from Apple as of July 2018) in not being able to play wave. Just one man's opinion who c

I have 2 SONOS BOOSTS, 1 in the Study wired to my router, the other, wireless up high in the kitchen. I have 4 play 5’s Gen 1 and 2 around the house. Looking at my matrix the Kitchen BOOST is doing nothing. Am I interpreting the matrix correctly?

If wiring two Klipsch awr650 speakers to one connect amp, do I wire the speakers in series? The speakers have both left and right channel built in. I can wire them to act as single channel, but they will be about 60’ apart. Each speaker has 4 conductor cable.

Hi all, here is my situation: 1. I have Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable connected to an Onyx TX-8160 and two wired speakers. 2. The Onyx receiver is output to a Sonos Connect. 3. I have a Playbar in the same room, and other Sonos throughout the house. I was considering swapping the Onyx with a pre-amp and getting 2 Play 5's that would connect line-in to my turntable, and simultaneously serve as rear's for my Playbar to get 5.1 sound when watching TV (assuming an added sub). I would ditch the wired speakers in this case. However - I was informed by Sonos customer service that the Play 5's could not simultaneously serve as line-in for the turntable and rears (which is insane!), so that idea is kind of shot. So now I am debating whether to ditch analog (receiver + wired) altogether - and instead feed the turntable (+ preamp) into my Connect exclusively, then have the 5.1 setup in that room as one of many rooms I could stream to from the turntable, but wouldn't have any analo

So I ordered a pro-ject essential iii and returned it on July 6. It is now July 19 and I do not have my refund. Sonos received my project and said a credit would be issued within 7 days. It’s now 9 days and 3 phones calls and no one knows why I’m not getting my refund this is totally unacceptable! They are holding my $382 hostage. I have a connect, a sub, playbar and two play ones so you could say I’m a good customer. They take your money when you make a purchase, but don’t issue refunds. I don’t think I can ever do business with Sonos again

Connect digital output in fixed volume mode is not bit-perfect as discussed here. There is a simple limiter applied with a maximum gain decrease of just under 1dB. This cannot be defeated in fixed volume mode. However, in variable volume mode the maximum limiter gain becomes less as the volume slider is decreased from maximum. The limiting disappears completely after 13 taps on the slider. This is shown in this link. The associated volume decrease in the signal is shown here. It is interesting to note that as the volume slider is moved back from maximum, the rate of volume decrease becomes larger at the same 13 tap point. I haven't gone beyond 20 taps to see if there are further changes in volume sensitivity. What are the implications? Prior to version 6 of the software, fixed volume mode provided the cleanest audio path (bit-perfect), but this is now not the case. The cleanest audio path is now obtained by using variable output and setting the volume slider to 13 or more tap

I have four Play Ones, two Threes and a connect with a turntable/phono stage linked to it purely to play vinyl on Sonos. One of the Play Ones has an intermittent low beep. It may be one beep or two together and is happening at random times. It happens regardless of whether music is playing. This speaker is part of a stereo pair. The other speaker doesn't make the noise. I have restarted it without success. I do not have any Amazon Alexa products. I say this as the forum only seems to have this sort of query in relation to Sonos Ones with Alexa.

Hello, I just connected my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable and my Pro-Ject Phono Box MM pre-amp to my Sonos Connect (ZP90) and am wondering which line-in level I should use. I read the support article that lists voltages: 2.2V - Level 1 2.0V - Level 2 1.8V - Level 3 1.6V - Level 4 1.4V - Level 5 1.2V - Level 6 1.1V - Level 7 1.0V - Level 8 0.8V - Level 9 0.6V - Level 10 But the problem is that the documented voltage output for my pre-amp doesn't look like the same format as the Sonos documentation. My pre-amps documentation says: "Output voltage typically: 500mV/1kHz at 5mV/1kHz". Can somebody translate that to the listed Sonos voltages for recommended line-in according to their referenced principle of gain staging? Thanks!

Any plans for Headphones from Sonos. that would be awesome. First of all I like to listen in Headphones as well because sometimes my family doesn't want to listen to Music when I want to. Seconsly I have a Playbar, a sub and 2 Play1 connected to my TV but sometimes when my family are asleep I want to listen to TV in Headphones so I don't disturb them, and this is very bothersome now. Come on Sonos. It's time for some serious Product development.
