I need advice for configuration of my existing stereo system (Pinell 701) and Sonos Beam and Sub. The stereo has a built in amp and an RCA line out. Can I connect it, via Sonos Port’s line in, to the Sonos Beam and Sub to stream stereo?

Hi there,I have a Sonos Port and am having some major issues which are rendering it very frustrating - anyone else seeing the same / have any advice? Details below, cheers! Device:Sonos Port, with a turntable on the input and a pair of active speakers on the output Issue:Port will drop from WiFi every 4-5 hours or so and requires switching on and off to get it to show up again - it either disappears from the app completely, or will also occassionally just be identified as offline When it does then connect, any other speaker which is not currently playing something disappears from the app (they gradually appear again over the next 15-20 minutes) What I’ve Investigated:Wi-fi Strenth - this is good (43 dBm), and the issue still recurrs if the Port is right next to the access point DHCP - I’ve given the Port a static IP on my OPNSense router (doesn’t fix the issue) Factory Reset and re-adding the port (doesn’t fix the issue) Hard wiring to ethernet (fixes the issue but I don’t want to hard

Hi there,I have exactly the same feature request(s) as here:I have a projector setup with a retractable screen in front of a window, so a Sonos soundbar was never going to work for me. However I like the Sonos ecosystem and wanted a speaker setup for 3 primary use cases:good quality speakers for music could also be used for a home theatre setup could be used for a voice assistant I had the idea to use 2x Era 100s as a stereo pair for my main speakers. But to get my different AV sources passing audio to them via the projector, I thought using an Amp with the ARC was the way to go. Finally I added a sub mini into the mix for good measure.Before I committed to the purchase I phoned Sonos technical support to see if this setup would work: “sure” they said, “just make sure your projector has ARC”.Unfortunately after purchasing I realised their response was a bit misleading, as I found out to my detriment that the Amp wouldn’t pair the Era 100s as front speakers, only rear channels. Technica

Is there a difference in sound quality between port and amp when using a turntable and only Sonos speakers?  

I have a Sonos Port with current software (uploaded on another Sonos network)I tried to create a new Sonos network with this port on a different wifi network using my Android mobile phone with the latest App.The Add device process kept failing at the last step to register the port on Sonos network. I could see the device on my phone in the Sonos app; it prompted me to Fix it but it kept failing telling me to try again later.I then looked at one of the discussions and it suggested using the Sonos Windows App, which I have on my PC to manage the update. This worked. The registration step completed, and the new Sonos system is working fine, both on the Sonos app on my Windows PC and on my Android mobile phone.As the discussion suggested, the problem seems to be the mobile phone app. 

Hi I have moved into  a new house, which has speakers in all the rooms all wired up and ready to go.  If i buy a Sonos Bridge, will this enable me to stream my music from apple?  i realise it would be the sqame music in every room.  Do i need to buy anything else to get up and running? Thank you.

Hi,My question was asked per guidance from Sonos on stackoverflow. The question is specifically about the SMAPI, and if the Endpoint URL *must* be public. If so, Why? It doesn’t make sense and is a poor design choice for integrations.The question is asked here in more detail - please can somebody answer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79162083/sonos-smapi-endpoint-can-this-be-decided-at-runtime

What is the voltage coming out the subwoofer out on the Sonos amp?

i’ve just bought a new home and there are some existing outside speakers, can they be used with my sonos speakersnby adding thensonos amp?

I currently have a non-sonos receiver running surround in my living room.  Am I able to connect any of the sonos subwoofers to this system and have it work with both TV and music?  I feel like I tried to do this initially and it didn't work.

Hi! Is there any way to adjust the input gain for HDMI on the Sonos Amp?I have the problem that the input from the TV is relatively lower than when streaming music. For music I set the volume to maybe 25-30 at normal listening level, but for TV I need to crank it up to almost 50.If I first  watch TV and then switch to Spotify or any other music streaming service, I will get a heart attack if I forget to first adjust the volume down. 😅to sort this out I would either need the possibility to set hdmi input gain or set a default volume for hdmi and streaming respectively, that is applied/reset every time I switch input source.

Subject: Inquiry About "Line-In" FeatureHello,As a dealer, installer, and user, I have a simple question: When will the option to select and control "Line-In" return? In the "gold" app, it was available at the bottom of the "Browse" screen, but now it's missing. It might seem like it should be under the "Your System" section, but it’s unclear. I've seen many complaints about the removal of features in the new app, and losing the ability to control Line-In is not just disappointing—it's a liability for users who specifically chose these products for this feature. I'm referencing Keith N's response from two days ago regarding the bullet list of five features that supposedly have return dates.

Hi - I am trying to setup a new PORT to my Denon stereo system that consists of a receiver, CD player, and Tape player - I want to connect so anything I play on the CD/Tape players will play on my Sonos speakers throughout my house. I looked thru the questions here, but honestly I can't figure it out - any help would be appreciate. Thanks!

If I have one single line in source (let’s call it a record player), and 5 Connect:Amps.I’d like the single line in signal to be used by all the Connect:Amps so can be heard in all rooms simultaneously. For what it’s worth, all the Connect:Amps are in the same location.I feel this is probably going to be either straightforward or not possible? Thank you!

I have recently upgraded my home network and ISP with EE. All my devices have connected to the new router except the Sonos 1.It will work if I connect it with a cable, but drops off when trying to use wifi connection.When I use the app on my Android it tells me it cannot find any devices.Grateful for any advice.Kevin Fields

I have an Bose Cinemate system connected to my tv. I want to connect a Port to this , not for tv sound but to add to my Sonos ecosystem when not watching tv. Will Port allow me to select these speakers and turn on through the app (much like adding or subtracting speakers now) to include with all other speakers and it I unselect, will the sound from tv play independently (not thru port)?  The Cinemate has an amp built in. It has RCA analog in/out as well as an optical in. There are two shelve speakers and subwoofer   

Hi everyone,  I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo (Nogal) turntable, and I currently have a Sonos Beam (Gen 2) sound system. I have a couple of questions regarding connectivity: From my understanding, I can't wirelessly connect the Pro-Ject Debut turntable directly to the Sonos Beam 2. Is that correct? I’m considering purchasing the Sonos Era 300 speaker to pair with the turntable. Would this be a good option? Is there any additional equipment needed to ensure the turntable works properly with it? If I add the Era 300 to my Sonos network, would the sound from the turntable play through the Beam 2 as well, or just the Era 300? Thanks in advance for your help!  

My Sonos Amp is happily pumping surround sound from my Arc. If I connect, say, a WiiM Ultra preamp by RCAs as an Roon end point, will that cause a problem with my surrounds? Or can the Amp detect and accept which input is active? I don’t want to struggle with needing to reconnect my surrounds, I just want this to work. Possible?

Bonsoir,j’avais Sonos Connect qui me permettait de diffuser le son de mes vidéos sur ma chaîne B&O. Superbe !je viens de passer à Sonos Amp, et j’ai maintenant deux secondes de retard pour mon son. Auriez-vous une idée ? philippe Moderator edit:Google Translate- Good evening,I had Sonos Connect which allowed me to broadcast the sound of my videos on my B&O channel. Superb!I just switched to Sonos Amp, and I now have two seconds of delay for my sound.Do you have any idea?philippe

I’m sorry, Patrick should be fired. I watched his new video and his comments are weak and frankly a bit to late. When they announced and forced us to use the new app, he was silent and then when he did speak up, he defended the app and pretty much told us to shut up and deal with it, that it was for the best. He does not care about the loyal customers. I have SONOS products all over our house and we take the portables everywhere. We have multiple outdoor speakers. We have multiple of each Move 2’s, Roam’s, Arc’s, Era 300’s, Era 100’s, One’s, Sub Mini’s (Just ready to upgrade to Sub gen 3’s then the new app was released so I held off...THANK GOD). The new app update was a disaster and once the thousands of complaints and obvious mistake on releasing the app, instead of bringing back the old app until the new one was fixed or re-created, they told us to chill out and deal with it. Then they told us they would be fixing everything..WRONG...Every update KIND OF fixed some things, but then

I have 2 trailers used for tailgating. Currently, we use a Yamaha receiver, B&W 601s, and Def Tech Super Cube sub in one trailer. We are using a Connect for music streaming. We want to extend to the other trailer with a play base and multiple Ones. WiFi is not a problem and neither is power. Will the Connect allow us to add the others and group everything? 

My amp just stopped working out of nowhere, I assumed it was just another “sonos” issue with updates and that maybe it would sort itself the next time i go to use it...it did not. I can not get my app to find the device and it had just disappeared from my list. I dove in for a better look and noticed that it is not showing any sign of life (no white,orange,green lights). I check the surge protector and all other devices and they all are working as they should be.  I unhooked it completely and moved to a different outlet and the still nothing.Called Sonos, dealing with rude customer service, and being given little to no helpful information. The service person “Michal” mumbles that what sounds like “you (I) must have done something, that I will need to buy another”. I explained this device sits on a shelf, I did not do anything to this, it has been working , and correctly hooked upped. Due to the fact the device is over 1 year old we (sonos) can not replace it or repair it, the only opti

Das ganze System mit 9 Komponente lief miserabel und nun habe ich den Boost abgeklemmt…. Und es läuft!  Moderator Note - Translation by Google:The whole system with 9 components was running poorly and now I have disconnected the boost... And it works!

Same question came up a few years ago in this support channel. Updating seemed to have resolved the issue for him but it dosnt seem to be for me. Anyone experiencing the same issue or have a solution for this?  GOAL: Pioneer DDJ-SX > Connect > Playbar

helloI have a question, I have two Sonos one gen 2 speakers, a TV with 3 HDMI inputs and an Xbox Series S, Apple TV and a TV decoder.I would like to connect them together and my question is if I buy a Beam gen 1 or gen 2 soundbar and an HDMI extender for the TV, will it be ok, or are there any dedicated amplifiers that connect to my Sonos one speakers wirelessly and also have 4-5 HDMI inputs on the back to connect preferred devices (Xbox, Apple TV, etc.)thanks
