Sonos Port for PC/Laptop Audio

Hello,

Having reviewed various other queries on the community, I cannot see a direct reference to this question. 

 

I am looking to understand if it is viable to use the Sonos Port, connected to some typical PC 2.1 speakers.

I assume the line out from desktop can go into the Port Audio-In, then back out through the Audio-Out into the active 2.1 system. Critically, this also links the PC audio to the Sonos system around my house

My concern is that this may introduce some sort of audio delay, especially if watching video / on VC on the computer.

I should add, this is a Windows set up so cannot use AirPlay unfortunately, or at least I don’t think I can, if I could I would revert to two One’s, provided there is no audio delay as above. 

Any initial thoughts?

Thanks.

Yep, that should do the trick.

Just a suggestion: if you can find a used Gen 2 Connect, that would be a much cheaper option than a Port, and you’d get the benefit of physical controls.
