Turntable to Port Line-in Autoplay not working

I have my turntable (Pro-Ject: T1 BT) plugged into the Port and when playing a record the autoplay does not start. 

However, I can go into the Sonos app and select manually Line-In as the source and the record will play into the room to my Beam. 
 

I have rebooted the system and no dice. Pretty frustrating that Autoplay doesn’t work and having to select the source manually every time.

Are you sure you have Autoplay enabled and the Beam set as your Autoplay speaker under the Port’s line-in settings? Does setting the Source Level higher make a difference?

    Thanks for the prompt response. 
    That’s correct, autoplay enabled, and Beam is selected as autoplay speaker. Source level is at 10 and doesn’t seem to make a difference.

    I wonder if it has something to do with TV Autoplay on the Beam. Have you tried disabling TV Autoplay and testing it?

      I thought that was it too but I have tried having TV autoplay disabled; doesn’t help it. Strange!

      The phono preamp is turned on in the turntable?

        And have you tried the ‘reboot the Port by unplugging it’ Hail Mary?

          Phono preamp is turned on.

          Okay, I have not rebooted the Port by unplugging it; will do that when I’m back home and report back. Thanks guys

          Alright, I’ve unplugged the Port and put it back, no luck at all. 
          I still have to select the Line-in from the iOS app to be able to listen to the records.

          Is your TV on or sending an audio signal to the Beam when you start a record? If you stream music to the Beam and then start a record, does Autoplay work?

            I have tried below 4 scenarios but Autoplay doesn’t kick in. 
            - No audio signal from TV or streaming to Beam

            - TV sending audio to Beam

            - Streaming music through Airplay to Beam

            - Playing music from Sonos app
