Mon ampli ne veut plus s’allumer 

I know this question has been asked before but it has never been satisfactorily answered. I have 2 x Sonos Boost, one attached to my router and one upstairs to help signal to distant speakers.  The Boosts disappeared from the App after the big controversial update last year. They also don't appear in my "System Info" list.All I want to know is if the Boosts are doing anything at all?! Or am I just wasting electricity? Or if I need to reconnect them somehow?This is a simple yes or no question, and I'd appreciate if someone from Sonos could answer it instead of just some random conjecture. I will also note that I have a Sonos Port attached to my record player and my Wifi Router. I understand this also functions like a Boost. The Port works fine.

Please tell me ,if it is possible to connect a sub mini or sub 4 to a Sonos Amp wirelessly, or is it necessary for the Sub Mini and Sub 4  and the Sonos Amp to be connected with an Ethernet cable?

Here is my current setup:Sony STR-DN1050 7.1 Receiver connected to in-ceiling (non-SONOS) speakers and sub. HDMI cable from Cable Box to Receiver. SONOS Connect as a line in to Receiver.Receiver and Cable Box are installed remotely in a closet.This works ok, but in order to listen to SONOS on my speakers, I have to turn the Receiver on and select the SONOS input.  I haven’t found a capability of doing that on my phone, which means I either have to control the receiver through my TV, which is finicky at best, or go to the closet to change the input.  Obviously, this is not ideal.  Also, it means that anytime I want to listen to SONOS, I can’t also watch TV as that comes through my receiver.I would prefer not to buy any new equipment, so with what I have, does anyone have any better ideas for how I can use my existing speakers for 7.1 surround sound, but also use them for SONOS without the above limitations?If the answer is that it just has to work that way, is there a Works with SONOS r

I set 1 alarm on my Sonos Port. On at 10:30am, off at 9:00pm. Lately it just makes the chime/bong sound and I have to log into it to tell it to play the music I selected. This shouldn’t be something I have to check daily.

I have an older system with a Bridge that just failed due to a bad power source. My speakers are in the walls and I can't connect them directly to the router. Should I buy a Boost if possible or see if I can find a new power source for the Bridge and get a few more years out of it? Thanks

 HelloI have a Sonos AMP. C17 had a short circuit. Unfortunately, this also burned out the L2 coil (470 µH). Apparently, the circuit path on the multilayer board is also broken, and I believe the path from the L2 coil to resistor R1263 is also broken. Can anyone confirm that the path goes there? R1263 (1 kΩ) has approximately 300V there.Unfortunately, my AMP isn't working yet because I don't fully understand what SONOS has put together. It contains several PWM chips.RegardsStephan

I have 2 gen 1 play:5 speakers and am using the S1 app. I would love to add a turntable -- are there any reccomendations on anything that would be compatible and not require a ton of extra components? Thanks.

I have an older turntable and 5 CD carousel I’d like to connect to my Sonos system. I bought an inexpensive preamp, and have connected the turntable to the preamp, and the preamp to the Sonos Connect box. I do get music on my system, but the quality of sound is distorted. When I connect the turntable directly to a powered, non-Sonos speaker, the quality of sound is very good.The preamp has a grounding screw, but the turntable does not. Any suggestions out there?

helloi’d love to integrate my 1210 with Sonos producds, can you please help me to select the right products and the tool to integrate.thank youKent

I have an S1 system (a couple of old Play:5 devices) and an S2 system (with 6 zones, including a Sonos Amp).  The Amp and most other S2 devices are using wireless.Things generally work well, but the Amp has started to be troublesome.  It appears in the Sonos App on my iPhone/iPad devices, then disappears.  When it’s there, if I try to play anything (local library, Spotify, BBC Sounds), there’s a delay and I then get a message saying “The connection timed out”.I’ve rebooted it (including leaving power off for 24 hours) but no change.Using a port scanner (ports 1-1400), I am told ports 1400, 1410, 1443, 1843 are open.  I’m not aware of any others than should be - shout if there are any others I should check.Pointing a browser at  http://10.1.1.117:1400/status  I get a handful of links - enetports, wireless, zp, ifconfig etc.Most links provide (on cursory examination) valid data.  However, using ifstatus I’m told the connection has timed out.  I’m puzzled by this as ifstatus should just t

I am very happy with my Port. I do think it is priced high.The analog in works fine with my analog turntable and the digital out coax ‘stream through’ to an external dac.What I am missing is an optical in for my cd player.I think it could be a great feature for the Port and increase the value for a small cost. What do you think? My two cents.

For reference - I have an original soundbar and sub (Gen2)I now have a turntable without a pre amp and advised to get a Gen1 connect (the white case one). i have noticed that there appears to be 2 models with the top button being different. One has a play/pause symbol and the other a mute speaker symbol. Is the a spec difference? If so whats the one i need?As a side issue should i only have the Sonos1 app to save any confusion? Thanks in AdvanceChris

Asking for my college-age son who has my hand me down Arc and a relatively low end Bluetooth turntable. I don’t think musical fidelity is the goal here, rather merely making the connection. My understanding is the least expensive option is to get a Roam speaker, which can connect via Bluetooth. What I haven’t been able to determine is if it is possible to connect the Roam (or ERA 100, 300, Move) to the Arc so that audio is playing from the Arc. Thanks in advance. 

So I connected a audio technica atlp 120-usb turntable to an existing group that consists of 2 sonos fives and a sub 3. The connection used was line in to the right five. It works. Almost. I get great sound from the left five and the sub but not the connected right five. Weird…Can any of you kind folks shed light on this and how to get pair of fives to work together?Thanks

What do I do when my Sonos speakers suddenly keep cutting in and out?

Hi all.I’ve been trying all morning to get this set up, and I have failed. I’m normally pretty good with tech, but I cannot get this to work in the way I want.I have:Beam Gen 2 Play:1 x 2 as satellites. Connect Audio-technica turntable (with line out)The turntable and connect are a birthday gift for my wife. She loves vinyl. She hates tech. I need a way that she can just hit start on the turntable, and magically music will come out of the speakers.Currently the beam and play:1 are connected to the TV as a surround system. I tried grouping the connect and beam etc as a separate group called “record player” and set it to auto play, but it doesn’t appear to have worked. I still have to go to system, and link the 2 when I play a record.Any tips on the best way to set this up?Thanks

Hi everyone,I’m planning to upgrade my 1st gen Sonos Connect, which has been connected to my HiFi for years and has worked flawlessly (and still does) alongside a few other Sonos speakers around the house. I’ve been using the S1 app all this time without any issues, so the recent S2 app problems haven't affected me.That said, I rarely use the Sonos app unless I’m grouping speakers, or setting new speakers up. My main go-to has been Spotify Connect. But with Spotify now increasing prices in Australia, still no CD-quality streaming, AI-generated tracks flooding my playlists, and an app that's become cluttered with podcasts and audiobooks, I’m ready to switch to Tidal or Apple Music for a better app experience, and better sound quality – especially through my HiFi. I’m currently trialling Apple Music, but there’s basically no support on the S1 app.To get the most out of either service, I know I’ll need to replace the Connect — and that brings me to the Sonos Port.I’ve been on the fence fo

I am receiving a same vicious message : Connection expired,  no access to the Server..  Do you have issues… I am considering to drop Sonos  return with Bose. Sonos application seems to be very unstable.  Can you please fix it .I have 2 sonos Era, 1 ARC Ultra, 1 Sub 4. I just want to enjoy the music.  Best regards. 

Bonjour,J’ai autour de ma télévision une Sonos Beam et 2 One SL pour me faire mon petit pack cinéma, ca marché très bien.J’ai également en ma possession 2 Sonos Five et un Sub Mini (que j’utilisais en home cinéma, avant la question qui arrive)J’ai envie de m’équiper d’une platine Vinyle, et d’y agréger mes 2 Sonos five et le Sub mini pour faire un système Hi Fi.J’ai prévu d’acheter pour cela une Platine vinyle Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB et également un Sonos Amp, si j’ai bien compris.L’idée serai de brancher la platine à l’amp, qui pourra de son coté redistribuer le son vers les 2 five et le Sub. Maintenant, mes questions :Est ce que j’ai bien compris, et ce que je ne me trompe pas dans mes choix technique pour obtenir une qualité Hi Fi satisfaisante ? (l’amp n’est pas de trop ?) Le vinyle et la télé seront à l’opposé de la pièce : est il possible de compléter le son de l’un, de l’autre, voir des deux à la fois dans cette configuration ? peut être la configuration Hi Fi / filaire isolera mon

My turntable connects to a Sonos Amp. I wish to listen using headphones. I believe I can connect my headphones to a headphone amp which in turn is connected to a Sonos Port. Will this work?Fernando

Wondering if there will be a new Sonos amp coming? I have Sonos products but I have some passive speakers that I want to hook up into the Sonos eco system in a surround sound set up. The current amp has aging WiFi, and I see there are some rumors swirling of a new amp. If anyone can shed light on this it’ll be much appreciated 

This is our yard and the red line indicates a new pergola that we are going to install. All the gravel and some grass in the front will mostly be converted to concrete pavers under the pergola. I am planning to buy the sonance mag6.1 with Sonos amp (Best Buy exclusive) and was wondering how to place the 6 satellite speakers and the son woofer to get optimum results. We do want to focus on the pergola as the main entertainment area but would like to distribute atleast a couple Of the satellite speakers on either side of the yard. Woudl also need some recommendation on how to connect the left and right channels too.. Also this is the first time we are doing something like this so Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for helping out. 

My TVs main audio is connected to my Beam and it works just fine but when I try to connect it to my Kitchen Amp speakers, audio comes through for just a split second then stops. I can play any other audio source through my kitchen speakers but not my TV. I can also play my TV audio through other Amp speakers I have throughout the house but not the kitchen.  Thoughts?
