Components & Architectural

Hi all - running across a strange issue. I have a Sonos Beam connected to my TV. I have several other devices connected that all output audio without issue (cable box, PS4, etc). However, when I dock my Nintendo Switch to play on my TV, I simply get no audio through the Beam. Interestingly, my TV also changes to my Beam's input whenever I connect the Switch. When I switch back to the Switch's input, I have video but no audio. Any ideas why this might be happening? Thank you!

Hi, so I'm looking for a way to wirelessly send audio, in this case CD, tuner and phono, from my old Kenwood receiver to wireless speaker(s) in my kitchen. I want to be able to play the same music out of the speakers connected to the current receiver at the same time. Is this possible with the Connect? If no, what would you reco to make this happen? I've tried the Denon HEOS an Onkyo NR575 to pull this off and neither works in one way or another

if I connect a new source into the new Sonos Amp line-in, will I be able to stream/play that source on any airplay2 speaker? (i.e. will it show up on my iPhone as an airplay 2 source?)

hi I just bought a sony soundbar ht st 5000 and want to connect my sonos connect and speakers with it. How do I do this?

Ok.....I have the beam connected.....so I decided to buy the Sonos new Amp...…...and surprisingly enough, the handy dandy amp does not include easy instruction to add the amp. Any good suggestions?

Hi All, im new to the sonos world, i have a sonos one in the kitchen and have just bought a connect to try and integrate a record player. I do not have any existing speakers plugged into the record player and have an existing amp. any idea how i connect everything so that i can wirelessly play my vinyl through my sonos speakers

I purchased and am attempting to install a Pro-Ject Record Box E to connect my Pro-Ject Essential III turntable to my Sonos Connect. I have the cables from the turntable going into the “in” ports of the preamp, then the next pair going from the “out” ports of the pre-amp to the “in” ports of the Connect. I also have the “MM” button not pressed (out position). On my phone, I have the Connect setup as line in /AV. Still, no sound! What is the deal! Help me!

Hi, How should one manage multiple components with just 1 HDMI in on the 2018 AMP. I've got 3 sources (HTPC, Xbox, Switch) The way I see it, there are 2 options: 1) Get an HDMI switcher with at least 3 inputs and 2 outputs. Send 1 output to the AMP and 1 to the TV. 2) Get an HDMI switcher with 1 output and send that output to the TV, and then use an HDMI ARC connection from the TV back to the Sonos 2018 AMP. So, what are the pros/cons of these options. Would syncing be better with option 2 since the Sonos and TV are on the same HDMI ARC connection? Any other suggestions? I've always used an AVR in the past and plugged all components into the TV. I do not use the TV apps. Thanks!

What does the volume control (+ or -) do? Mine does not change annything

My sonos bridge white light is no longer on, therefore cannot connect to it with my phone. Rebooted router, no change, unplugged & plugged bridge back in, no change. Tried a factory reset by holding down button while plugging in and white light will blink for about 30 secs, then stay on for maybe 5 secs then goes out. If I push button after white light goes out a orange light will blink for 5 secs then nothing again. Assuming the bridge is toast, & see it is no longer available. So what do I replace it with to run a playbar, 2 play 3's & a sub. Thanks

Can I use the Sonos Conect:Amp with 1 pair of Bose outdoor speakers (Model 101 Series II Music Monitor)? The Connect:Amp shows to be rated 55w @ 8 ohms, while each Bose shows rated 40w @ 6 ohms.

I am looking to pair of Kef q150 with Sonos Connect:Amp. I see that the Connect:Amp give 55W per channel but the q150 require 10-100W. Does that mean that the Connect:Amp will underpower the speakers ? FYI.. the impedance of q150's are 8ohm.

My family room has 4 in-wall speakers, 2 in front and 2 in back. i would like to make them part of a surround sound system for our TV. Can the new Sonos Amp do this? I've read some articles and specs but I'm not an expert so I'm not clear if this is possible.

I plan on buying a connect amp to power a pair of Bose 251 outdoor speakers. Would the connect amp be sufficient for this or would the new amp be a better fit? Also, would the new amp be able to power 4 of the 251 speakers if I decided to add more down the road? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello Sonos Community, I am doing a big bathroom renovation, and want to put 2 speakers in my "steam shower" and 2 speakers in the main part of the bathroom, for a total of 4 speakers.... all connected as one zone to one amp. I have seen the documentation here that this is possible: https://support.sonos.com/s/article/265?language=en_US#4_speakers But, nothing is ever easy. :) Since it's a steam shower, the speaker is going to get soaked. As such, I'm looking at marine-grade speakers. After talking with Crutchfield, they recommended the "Kicker KM604W" speakers for inside the shower and the Polk Audio RC60i (or 80i) for the main part of the bathroom. The issue, however, is that the Kicker marine speakers are: 4 ohm The Polk speakers are: 8 ohm On the Sonos link above it says: To attach 4 speakers to a single Amp or Connect:Amp, the speaker impedance must be 8 ohms. Anything outside of that may damage the Amp, Connect:Amp, or speakers. Yikes.... now I'm st

My Connect just stopped working - no light comes on when I plug it in. What can I do to fix it?

I'm not sure when this started, but I just noticed an in-app advertisement in the iOS app under the main menu. I noticed a little red dot on the menu button when I went to toggle my alarm, and once I selected the menu, I saw the Sonos advertisement for $30 off Sonos. Is there a way to opt out of these ads? For what I paid for my extensive setup throughout my home, one would think I wouldn't have to put up with ads. After all, the same ad is already in my email inbox, so why does Sonos feel it has to also put that same ad in the app? At the very least, give the customers an option to opt out.

I have 2 different questions regarding the new Amp. 1. A new room I'm adding set up will be Playbar & 2 wired in ceiling speakers (I'd like to add my own wired sub). I know that on the current amp, once I use it for surround on my in-ceiling speakers, the sub output is disabled. Is this the same on the new amp? Any other ideas? 2. Some marketing info Sonos sent me on the amp says. "Power all your entertainment. Amp features inputs for your TV and an additional audio source, so you can enjoy a movie in one room while listening to music in another". - I'm not sure I totally understand this. Does this mean that I could wire 4 separate speakers to the amp and control one set with TV source and another from the second source? Any clarity would be great. Thank you!

sonos bridge does not work any more how to repair it?

Hello, I am hoping to connect a turntable to Sonos. I have a playbar and multiple play 1's through out my townhouse. Although it would be nice to play vinyl in all rooms I would be happy to be able play it on my sound bar only. So 1) if I get a turntable with a built-in preamp can I play it directly through the sound bar. And 2) what additional components would I need to play vinyl in all rooms (on my play 1's.). Thank you very much for your time...Mike

Hi guys, I’m looking at purchasing a Sonos soon but have a question regarding the compatibility with my vinyl player. Essentially I own a Project Primary E turntable and understand I need a phono pre amp and Bluetooth connector for it to work. Would using the ‘Project Phono Box E’ with my Primary E turntable allow me to connect to let’s say a Sonos:One? I’ve seen the new announcement for the new Sonos PreAmp but it’s too pricey at £599.

I have a couple of Play ones, a beam, and a connect. I want to connect my old turntable, an old Pioneer receiver with wired speakers to my Sonos speakers. After connecting my turntable to the receiver, how to I connect my receiver to the connect???

Sonos Connect not showing on network after being powered down for two weeks. No green light shows on power up. Factory re-set doesn't work. I am also able to ping the unit from the router, which has been re-booted. I have also hard wired the Connect to my router, but with no success. Anyone have any ideas.

I have had my Sonos system for about 3 years and has worked almost flawlessly up until about 6 months ago. Now I find every once in a while I'll go on my Sonos App and one of the zones will be gone. Today I see my garage zone is not there and the connect-amp was flashing white......I unplugged it, waited a few minutes, plugged it back in and it flashed white then turned to solid white....but still did not show up on the App. Decided to reset the Connect-Amp; unplugged it, waited then plugged back in while I held the play/pause button until it flashed orange / white / orange / white.....I let go of the buttons and waited.....waited some more.....still flashing orange / white / orange / white I decided to unplug it again, waited plugged it back in and its now flashing white..... All other zones are working fine, including my other Connect-Amp for the patio which by the ways is right next to the Connect-amp for the garage. What do I do???

It looks like the Connect is no longer bit-perfect. Here's my evidence: let's discuss this. First, I constructed a wav file of pink noise with amplitude ramping up from zero to digital max and back to zero. I play this through my Connect and record the SPDIF output from the coax output into my PC. The recording uses a Scarlett 8i6 audio interface set to use the Connect as master clock. I record into a DAW (Sonar) multiple times - all instances are identical. However, this recorded signal is not quite the same as the original wav file - it can be up to -21dB different. See https://www.dropbox.com/s/t8od479xo9hi5el/connect_diff.PNG?dl=1 Note the expanded scale on the difference (third) track. It looks like the difference gets larger when the signal is larger. To confirm this, I import the original and difference files into Matlab and plot the raw data (difference vs original). There is clearly audio compression happening here.
