I've seen this topic addressed before, but none of the solutions seem to work for me.

I have a ProJect Essential turnable set on PHONO OUT, connected to a Connect (ANALOG AUDIO IN) with cables.

Volume Limit: off, at Maximum Volume 100%
Line-In Source: Level 10
Use Autoplay Volume: No
Line-Out Level: Variable

Sound reaches my Soundbar, but volume level is very limited. Volume controls on the Connect have no effect. What setting do I have wrong?

Hey there, Peter.

That's the issue. If you are connecting this to a Connect (without an amplifier) you will want to make sure the turntable is set to Line Out. Phono signals require amplification to get to Line level. Make sure you turn down the volume on Sonos before you test the switch to Line Out. That way you can gradually turn up the volume to the desired level.

Thank you!
