Sonos Port - Can't Control Volume with Receiver

Question

I have a Sonos Port that connected to my Onkyo 585 Receiver. My Port is connected to both my Onkyo and my turntable. When playing a record on the turntable, I get music through my Onkyo surround sound speakers that are hardwired to my Onkyo receiver. I also get sound to my all my Sonos speakers scattered around the house. It’s nice - play a vinyl record in the living room and hear it throughout the house.

The problem is that I have to set the volume on the Onkyo for the living room speakers (all other Sonos speakers are controlled easily by the Sonos App). I set the line out to Fixed in the Sonos App, which should allow me to control the Port volume with the Onkyo remote or knob, but when I try to adjust it I get “volume set by Sonos” on the Onkyo receiver display.

How do i control the volume of the Port with my receiver controls?

Hi Make sure the Port’s Line-Level Out does not have Pass-Through enabled. Let us know if that helps. Cheers!

Will do, thanks. That is configured in the Sonos App somewhere?
