I've moved over to straight wireless setup and curious if there is any use for this bridge I have.

I really want to hear my vinyl through my Bose wireless  headphones. My speaker system is all SONOS products with Connect:Amp to link Rega Planner Plus 1. Is this possible?

Hi, I have a Sonos Connect and 3 Play:1s. The Play:1s are working fine but the Connect keeps disappearing (from Android and Mac apps). If sound is playing through it that stops too. Sometimes it comes back by itself after a while. If not then usually rebooting (remove power cable, wait 5s, reinsert power cable) gets it working again for a while although not always. When it’s playing up I also sometimes hear a click through the amp/speakers that it is connected to - the kind of noise you get when you turn something on without turning your amp off. That makes me think it could be rebooting itself. I don’t think it’s a network issue - it is connected with an Ethernet cable to a TP Link Deco in the same room as the master deco, and even when the Connect is playing up I can still ping the Deco that it is connected to from my Mac or the phone with the Sonos app that the Connect has disappeared from. It got to the stage a couple of weeks ago where it wasn’t connecting at all. I also tried res

Good day, I currently own the PLAY:5 (1st generation) and recently bought a pair of KEF LSX which I have upgraded the FW to support Airplay 2. My plan is to buy an additional Sonos One and group it with the PLAY:5 to bring Airplay 2 to both speakers. Then in step 2, group the KEF LSX and both Sonos speakers via Airplay 2. Objective being to play music on KEF LSX, PLAY:5 and Sonos One at the same time. Has anyone tried something similar and can share whether this would indeed work? If so, can you use the voice control while remaining grouped over the brands to change songs and receive the Alexa output?

I have a sub a playbar and two play fives. I set them up as a Surround Group. When I play music, Do the 2 play fives act as a stereo pair?

Is there any converter on the marker that converts dts to dolby digital (With hdmi and optimal output and Hdmi input) Playing Blu rays With only dts HD or dts soundtracks is not possible With the playbar (I dont want to select pcm as output so that is not an option) Or IF anyone can recommend a blu-ray player With option to re encode dts to DD 5.1. IF you recommend one I need complete settings in audio menu. My Sony BDP-S 5500 has dolby digital compatible output (converts dts to DD 5.1 using edid) but its NOT I say again NOT working tried everything...reset all different settings etc. My tv supports DD 5.1 pass thru via hdmi (arc) to optical out on Tv so thats not the issue. Even tried connecting via coax out to toslink adapter and then to playbar without getting DD 5.1 . Please can anyone recommend a solution to get DD 5.1 to playbar When playing blu-ray disc with only dts soundtracks. The DD 5.1 soundtracks are always dubbed in some shit language like Spanish so I c

Why don’t I hear sound through my playbar when I have my cable playing through the TV? Since my Samsung flatscreen tv is a little older without a Digital Audio Optical port, I had to buy a Digital Optical to RCA converter to utilize the Red-White ports on my TV. However, I still do not hear sound. Everything is plugged in. Has anyone run into an issue like this before? Thanks

I have an old Denon F88 system, connected to Mission speakers. I'd like to be able to play it throughout my house on my existing Sonos kit. I have a Connect (and a Boost if it makes a difference). Any suggestions on how to do that please?

I have a Bose lifestyle 5:1 surround sound hooked to my tv and theatre system. I also have my xfinity, and Blu-ray hooked to my Bose. I would like to be able to hook my Bose to Sonos and still have my tv go through my Bose speakers. I just want to streamline both systems to one Sonos system. Is this possible? My kids still use Blu-ray and we aren’t getting rid of cable. Any advice or solutions would be appreciated! I currently have 4 Sonos speakers set up throughout my home.

Hello All, I have a question about the Sonos Amp. Is is possible to use the HDMI and analog RCA input simultaniously and stream their signals to different Sonos speakers? Example: Stream the audio of a playstation thats connected through the HDMI input to the speakers near the TV and at the same time stream the audio of a turntable thats connected through the RCA input to the speakers in the kitchen? And/or would it also be possible to stream an internet service (eg, spotify) to a third pair of speakers while using the other input(s)? Cheers!

I’m curious how Sonos would work in the following setup: 1 x amp for front passive speakers 1 x amp for rear smaller passive speakers + Sonos sub is the sub crossover setting global or could I set different crossover for the front and rear speakers?

Hi All. Just after others experiences. We have a bridge and have never had a problem with dropping etc. SONOS are obviously pushing the switch to boost with a discount on it for bridge owners. Is it worth it given that we have no problems with he bridge set up? TIA

I am considering getting several AMPs. I plan on hooking 1 up to the TV via hdmi ARC. The other AMPs will be in other rooms. 1 of them in the guest bathroom. What I would like to do is stream online music to the guest bathroom unless something is playing on the TV. In that case, I’d like the sound in the guest bathroom to be the same as the TV... When the TV is turned off... back to the online music it was streaming before. Is this possible to kinda “set and forget” this? Or does it require going into the app and switching back and forth?

How do I hook my cable box to sonos Amp ? Amp and cable box are in basement. Looking for sound to be played in outside bar that has wired speakers to the amp

I am using the analog out to a stereo amp, going to several sets of speakers. When I have the app balance set in the middle, I am getting 80% of the sound out of the right channel and 20% out of the left. I can rectify this by pushing the balance way to the left speaker, obtaining a 50/50 split. I am wondering why I need to do this - shouldn't the split be 50/50 with the balance control dead center? I have checked al of the connections. It also happens with every set of speakers, and is not being caused buy the amp (the amp has LED's showing input levels for each channel) so I know it is emanating from the Connect. And this happens whether the output is variable or fixed (in the app).

I had to replace my Samsung sound bar and have a Yamaha has-207 soundbar to replace it. I plugged my optical cable into my cable box and need to connect My sound bar to my Sonos connect. I plugged th a cable into my sound bar and the OUT L and R plugs in my connect and have no sound. Does anyone know how I can get my home audio to include my new sound Bar?

Hello just hooked up new Sonos Port... trying to play home stereo(turntable, cd, etc) through preamp through Port to Sonos speakers. not working:( need help

I'm looking to upgrade my present 5.1 system - my Denon AV receiver isn't working properly and the existing rear ceiling speakers are of poor quality (but the wires are already built in). Music is important to me and so I'm thinking of running two Amps, one feeding a pair of Sonance ceiling speakers in the rear and the other a pair of 3s or 5s as a front pair. My existing wired sub is pretty good so I would retain that. Questions I have: Do I definitely need two Amps? Is there anyway of configuring the wireless speakers to be a front pair and the wired ceiling speakers as the rears? If I do run two Amps do I just run the TV through one of them via HDMI ARC? Can I plug a turntable into one Amp and a CD player into the other? I have a satellite box and PC feeding the TV, am I right in thinking these sources will play through the system OK via the HDMI ARC lead? Can all of these sources (Satellite, PC, CD, Phone) be streamed to Sonos speakers in other rooms Will the Truepl

Hi All, I couldn't find this particular question asked so I'm hoping for some insight from the community. First, some background. I Have multiple Sonos products at both our main residence and our vacation house. In our main house, I have a full home theater room complete with projector in the basement. The basement home theater system is a traditional 7.2 setup (non-Sonos but I do have a Sonos Connect connected to the AV receiver). My AV receiver is the Onkyo NX686, which has 2 HDMI outs, the Main out and a Sub out. The main out goes to my Epson projector, while the Sub out is not used. Zone 2 on this receiver drives 2 outdoor speakers to the patio which we use to listen to music outside. On this particular Onkyo receiver, Zone 2 IS NOT capable of sending digital sources to Zone 2, ONLY analog sources. What I want to do is the send sound using the Sub HDMI out on the Onkyo to a Sonos AMP so that we can hear sound from the TV while using either the patio and/or the hot tub, as

My main music system was: Naim CD player, Naim Integrated amp, Thiel floor-standing speakers. The CD player just died and is expensive to replace/repair. I also have a Sonos Beam for the TV and a pair of Sonos Ones in another room. I have ripped all my CDs and increasingly use the computer to stream the music to the Sonos speakers. Can the new Sonos Port rescue the orphaned amplifier and passive speakers? Is the following route feasible: music played from the computer via Sonos app > Sonos Port > Naim amp > Thiel speakers? Any advice is very welcome. Thanks.

I just posted this in a Harmony support forum as well, but it is probably as likely to be addressed by Sonos as it is as by Harmony. . . maybe more likely? ------------- I like the Harmony hub remotes a lot. They have simplified the universal remote problem in several rooms in my house. So much so that I am now actively using two Harmony Hub Ultimates and one Harmony Hub, one each in 3 different rooms in my house. I use multiple audio input sources, and have Sonos eqpt in 5 rooms of my house. Two of these are the Sonos:Connect modules, so that I can send audio to and from multiple sources using my existing AV amps and speakers. The Sonos:Connect devices send the audio using 'Line-In' (this is Sonos' labeling/nomenclature). To send audio from my office to my den, I select the source as (office Sonos:Connect - Line-In) on the Den unit. I have to do this using the Sonos controller. . . I have not found any way to use the Harmony remote to select that as a source. It would be

I use an Android box to stream all my tv content (LG SmartTV). It is an HDMI connection from box to TV. I now have a Beam which is connected to the TV using HDMI-ARC. Problem: I have no audio when watching streamed shows from the box unless I switch the audio back to TV speakers. Help? I feel like I’m missing something basic...

Hello, Looking to purchase two Sonos Connects for outdoor speakers. I currently have a spare receiver that has two "zones" for speaker outputs. My question is, is it possible to wire two sets of speakers to the receiver. Each going to their own zone for different areas outdoors. Then use a Y splitter in reverse to combine the connects to one input on the receiver. My thinking was that I would be able to use one receiver instead of two when the wires and connects will be side by side. Is there a better way to accomplish this? I have concerns about using a splitter in that it may degrade the levels. Thanks!

Did I miss a notice that the Connect Amp was being dropped? I went looking for it to answer a question and couldn't find it.

I received an email from Sonos this week ' Action Suggested' 'Remove Bridge'. I'm not technical minded so I'm asking the question 'Why?' What has changed that Sonos are suggesting I don't need the Bridge anymore? Have anyone of you done this and is the Bridge really not required, if so, why was it required previously? Thank you.
