I purchased a Sonos Boost many years ago, I believe for my Playbar and Sonos Sub at the time, as I believe it was needed to run it together. Unfortunately, I couldn’t keep the sub and had to return it but still have the Boost for some reason. Is the Boost still relevant for anything? 

Hi - I have a setup with turntable and cd player feeding into a preamp, then separate amp to bookshelf speakers.  How do I integrate this with my existing Sonos stuff so that:I can play the turntable or the cd player through both the bookshelf speakers and the sonos speakers, and  I can use the app for streaming to the bookshelf speakersthanks for any feedback! 

Hello, I have a sonos connect hooked up to a vintage Curtis Mathes record player/radio console. I have 2 other sonos speakers (play 1) in other rooms that are on opposite ends of my place. I am able to stream wireless services (Spotify, etc) through all speakers, including the Curtis Mathes and it sounds amazing.  I would love to be able to play records wirelessly throughout my place, but I am unable to get the songs to play through the play 1 speakers, when I’m using the Line In setting and play records through the console.It seems I get some type of signal, because there is a buzzing that comes through the play 1 speakers that isn’t usually there, but no songs.Is there something I’m missing? Are the devices too far away from one another? Is it possible that these two pieces of equipment don’t communicate in the way I’d hoped? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!  

Hi all, I’ve been running a couple of Play 1’s in my office, my music library sits on my Mac, and the S2 OS app on the mac links the library to the Play 1’s.I have an old ZP80, which I plan to reinstate with a turntable connected via RCA in, running to the S1 controller app, I will then factory reset the Play 1’s and add the to the S1 controller app.I am hoping that the music from the turntable, through the ZP80 will then come through the Play 1’s. Am I planning this correctly? Is anyone doing the same and using a turntable into a ZP80.Any conformation and advice would be appreciated. 

Two questions   Does using the coax output on the port bypass the inbuilt DAC? Does the coax output resample everything to 24bit? If I’m streaming Apple Music will it be bit perfect?

Hello,  new to Sonos and modern hi-fi generally. Looking to up my game from portable Bluetooth speakers. I purchased the 5s and the sub. Considering buying a high res mp3, specifically FiiO M6. Wondering if it is compatible with my system and how to connect, and will I have highest quality music on stereo. Thanks, realize this is basic but I'm old. Tk

I have a AMC CVT3030 amplifier, it is possible to connect it to the Sonos Port?

Hi guys, I was wondering if I could get some help please? I have a 16 x 13 living room currently with a 50inch tv and beam. I would like to add an upgrade to kill 2 birds with one stone. Want to get a 5.x surround and occasionally use the turntable with Sonos. I know I have a couple options. Getting a couple of Ones and add Connect or Port (a bit expensive) Getting a couple of 5s and plug in turntable directly to one of the 5s.  Are the 5s a bit of an overkill for the size of the room? I know that line in is disabled when 5s in surround group? I’d be using turntable only occasionally so does it take long to undo surround and have 5s play as a stereo for turntable? Is there any other alternative option for me? Which option would you choose or maybe have a similar set up? Thank you for your help, Jakub

Right now I don’t have a receiver or turnable, but want to establish a sonos system that could double as a sound bar for the TV and support a line in music source from a turntable.  If I purchased the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable (with the pre-amp), connected to a Sonos Port, and a Beam -- would that accomplish what I want.  Or would I need to purchase say a Sonos Five for the turntable, and then the Beam for the TV?  Thanks.

How can I tell if my connects are gen. 1 or 2 (I have 4)?

Hi, We are buying a set of turntables and also considering buying a sonos amp so that we can have our existing Sonos speakers and turntable all on one system. We currently have one Play 1 and one Play 5 speakers. We will ultimately buy some stereo speakers for the amp/turntables, but initially we’d would like to just use the existing Sonos speakers that we have. I had two questions:Am I correct to assume that we will be able to connect the Play 1 and Play 5 speakers (each in different rooms), via the amp, to our turntables, and run them as mono speakers? Once we have acquired a set of stereo speakers to add the set up, will we be able to continue using the Play 1 and Play 5 as mono speakers, whilst using the new speakers as a stereo set up?Thanks.

How do I use the Sonos Beam as a speaker for my Denon AVR X500 receiver? 

I am looking to add turntable to my existing SONOS system and am looking at the Audio Technica LP-120XUSB. I have a SONOS port that I will connect it to. I am looking for input from anyone that has the LP-120XUSB or the previous LP-120USB.

Hi all,I’m currently running 2 sonos one’s and a sonos sub gen3. What I’m trying to do is understand the options for connecting my turntableFrom what I can found, the Sub is not compatible with the Port. Does this also hold true when only using the line-in of the Port?What other options would be available for adding a turntable into this setup? Do you need a Sonos 5 for this?

I have 5 pcs of gen 1 amps providing connection to my external speakers all over the house.if i change one of the amps to the new generation, will i be able to play airplay music to all existing old amps? THANK YOU MUCH to all who are willing to answer

Am I able to utilize a Port with a previouslypurchased Sony HT-ST7 soundbar?

I spoke with a member of the SONOS team via the chat feature on the website. They confirmed that I can use the SONOS Five’s line in directly into my mac desktop computer or laptop; enabling me to use it as a desktop speaker.I have purchased the FIVE on these grounds, but having done further research I am worried that there might be some delay in the audio. Would this be the case with the new Sonos FIVE?Also, does the type of audio (analog v digital) coming from a computer have compatibility issues with the SONOS Five as opposed to the audio from say a mixer (aux)? Thank you.

My brother gave me his Sonos Connect (model S15) that he wasn’t using so I could connect my outdoor pair of Bose Free Space 51s.  I connected the Sonos Connect to my Sonos Boost via Ethernet cable, then bought a pair of male RCA to speaker wire adapters, connected them to 14 AWG (4 conductors) speaker wire and ran it out and connected my Bose speakers.The problem I am having is barely any sound out of my speakers.  Literally have to put your ear up to the speakers to hear them on 100% Sonos Connect volume via the Sonos App.  Do I need an amp, a Sonos Amp, or something else in this setup for the speakers to work?  If so, can anyone recommend something inexpensive for me to purchase online?Or is it possible I have bad equipment, e.g. not the correct speaker wire or RCA to speaker wire connectors?FYI I’m on S2, and have several play 3 and play 5s running via my Sonos Boost inside my house.  All are wireless except one play 3 connected via Ethernet cable into my Connect.Thanks in advance,

I am upgrading my receiver and want to check if any receiver has full integration or do all require an amp?

Can I connect a zp 90 second gen to a play 5 first gen instead of trading up? 

Good day and please forgive me if this has already been answered. I recently purchased a Sonos Play and a Sonos Five.  The Play is used to bring in audio from a CD player.  When I first set up the system, the devices sensed that the CD was playing and automatically broadcast audio from the line-in.  Recently, something changed and I now have to go into the app and specify the line-in as audio source. Otherwise I get no audio. To my knowledge, I’ve changed nothing, but clearly, something is different.Thoughts, suggestions, please…Thanks in advance for your help.

I understand the Sonos Amp is based on the Qualcomm DDFA CSRA6620 chip.  I was wondering if that chip does the line input digital to analog conversion.  If not, does anyone know what chip or any additional details.I’m very pleased with how the amp digitizes my turntable input which is why I’m curious.Here’s some info on the DDFA chip if someone more technical can sort this out.https://www.qualcomm.com/products/csra6620

I have read (a lot!) on this but could not find specific answer and therefor my question. If it has been, apologies for repeating!I have just moved to a new build hose which had Sonos Connect:Amp installed, with 2xceiling speakers in 2 different rooms. Currently, cables are connected to the the prongs at the back of the device and all 4 speakers work fine. However, it all plays the same music and there is no way for me to turn one of the room off.I do not necessarily want to play different music in different room but hoping to be able to connect my TVs in different rooms and be able to listen to whats being played. Can this be achieved without investing another £500 in another connect:amp? Rp 

looking to use already-owned multi-channel amplifier to drive several new S2 ports.   any issues with volume control in this setup?   Note: my setup is dedicated in-ceiling and in-wall speakers in various rooms in my house that the ports drive.  just looking to re-use my separate amps vs paying for the amplification in the new S2 connect amps.   Thx!  

I currently own  several SONOs products (Soundbar, sub, 2 play 3’s, 2 play 1’s, a Boost and a Connect).I use the connect for my 2 pairs of outdoor patio speakers, 2 garage speakers, and a shower/sauna speaker.  I also have the TV on the patio going LINE IN to the Connect.I am building a detached garage and I plan to create a 7.1 home theater system using an onkyo txnr 686 as the receiver.  I plan to use ZONE 2 for my outdoor speakers and I would like my outdoor TV to also play from my outdoor speakers.  Is there a SONO product that will do this and if so please provide instructions on the connections that need to be made.  I would like to have all of my wired speakers as part of the sonos system but the priority are the zone 2 speakers.  THanks
