Currently have a playbase and 2 *1 speakersconfigured as surround sound, how can I add in a turntable ?If I got an Era 100 and turntable, would this play via the playbase ? Thanks 

I own two Sonos One’s. I have started buying vinyl, and just this week invested in a moderately priced blue tooth turntable. I now learn that these speakers are not compatible. Hey ho. I therefore purchased an Era 100, and the Sonos Line-in adapter. These both arrived today. Excitedly I followed the set up instructions, however I still cannot connect the turntable to the new speaker. The only leads coming out of the record player are the red and white jacks, and two does not go into one, neither hack fits the line-in. Sonos have been useless. I fear I am going to have to send my purchases back.Any help/insight would be much appreciated.TIA Nick

I’m building a new house and wife doesn’t want a soundbar near the frame tv. (She wants a clean  mantle for decorations..etc.    Would 6 In-Ceiling 8” Speakers by Sonos and Sonance wired to a SONOS AMP (inside built-in near TV) work?  I figured the TV’s eARC HDMI to AMP and phantom center with Trueplay would make the set up work.  I would have three speakers as left channel and three as right channel and the AMP set to mono.    No need for a crazy set up since we have a media room.  Living room would be for casual TV watching and sports.   Thanks in advance!  

Same exact problem here with my Sonos sound bar.  Sound shutters on optical input regardless of swapping cables in and out.  Also switched TV and still the problem persists.  This is a problem with the Sonos sound bar optical in, but it seems as though they don’t know or want to fix the problem.  

Hi allI have a turntable plugged into an ERA100 through line in. I’d like to group this with my Arc Ultra so that when I play music from the turntable I get the sound from both speakers.How can I achieve this? If I group them through the app while a vinyl is playing, it just stops. I have to unplug and re-plug the line-in to get some sound…Thanks for any advice  

Hello - due to changes in space requirements in our (very small) living room, (and the arrival of kids and all their related paraphernalia!) I have had to replace my floor standing speakers with smaller wall-mounted satellites (Cambridge Audio Min Minx 22) and a discrete subwoofer.The Min Minx 22 have a lower frequency response of 120Hz so require a sub to fill in for anything below that. I have purchased a sub which will do the job from ~38Hz to ~160Hz, ample for my needs.However; when setting this all up I discovered that the Sonos Amp crossover settings will only allow a cutoff of 100Hz or less, a good ~40Hz or so below where I would ideally like to set the crossover point.Presumably this is a software limitation, so I was wondering if others are facing this issue and whether Sonos might be able to update firmware to allow a higher cutoff frequency for the sub output?I see other similar products on the market which offer much more range in the crossover settings but would really lik

With recent discount on Ray, and extra 15% ‘upgrade’ discount, I thought I would finally get a Sonos speaker hooked up directly to PC. I also got a SPDIF/USB converter:https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B2DBGKL3A nice upgrade in sound from my previous Creative USB sound bar.I had previously tried a Roam via Bluetooth, but couldn’t live with the latency causing minor lip sync issues on youtube etcNo noticeable lip sync issues with the Ray and USB SPDIF adapter.

Hi, I've been searching the internet the last couple days and haven't found a great answer to my issue. I currently have several Sonos speakers throughout my house, as well as an outdoor system that is running 3rd party speakers (Klipsch) through two Sonos amps (Connect and ZP100, via the Sonos 1 app). The Connect sits inside my house and is wired to 2 Klipsch speakers on the house wall. The ZP100 sits about 60 feet behind the house in the pool equipment shed (concrete block), and is connected to 2 KIipsch speakers along the backyard wall. I have it in a waterproof box to protect it. The ZP100 is plugged in to the pool shed power. I realize this is VERY old technology but I had a limited budget!The issue I am having is that the wifi signal in the pool shed is weak, so the ZP100/back wall speakers cut out intermittently. I am trying to figure out the best way to boost that signal. I can't really run an ethernet cable out there without tearing up some hardscape, so that solution is not i

I’ve had a Sonos Connect Gen 2 for a few years that I got on eBay.  Have to say it’s been brilliant for utilising my Stereo speakers as part of the overall Sonos experience, though I did mainly buy it in the hope that it would be a way to get vinyl playing in every room.  I’ve read guides on how to best set my turntable up with the Connect, but ultimately it remains fine in the living room and only occasionally stutters out audio everywhere else.  I’ve read people say the Connect is pretty weak for vinyl overall. Is the Port really that much better?  I don’t want to risk putting down all that money for one purpose, only to have the similar dropout woes.  As I say, the Connect does its job fine other than for vinyl.

This issue has re-appeared after being resolved for quite some time.  That is, it was bad, then it got better for many months, and now it is back.  Perhaps something in the new updates?   

I spent 2 hrs on the phone with Sonos Customer service as since the new app, I still have not been able to play my turntable (Project Debut & Project Amp) through my Gen 2 Connect and hence to My Sonos Speakers.  Always worked before the advent of the new app.  I never have needed an ethernet cord to my router ( always has worked great).  And my router is on another floor.  What to do?  I see it in my list but Connect won’t connect.  Solid white light is on.  All the cords are connected ( that was confirmed on my 2 hr call)  All works fine (Pandora, etc) except for the Connect.  I also have always had a firewall to my wifi.  Help, I would prefer to not have to look for a new system.  

Anybody else have the problem where the Connect stops playing for a few seconds and then comes back - plays for som minutes and then stops again etc. What to do about that - is there a solution?

Hi,I’ve got a Connect:AMP that powers on but will only output audio for a few minutes before the audio cuts out and goes into fault (orange white flash) mode.I’ve opened up the AMP and taken a look for any blown fuses or capacitors, none of which I can see.I suspect the issue lies on the logic board itself.Could anyone suggest where I should begin with diagnosing the logic board to resolve this issue?Ive attached some images of the AMP in this post.Thanks 

Hi, I want some advice as I will be new on Sonos and sound systems. I just bought a big TV (OLED 77 G4) and I want to put a system for the TV. I’m thinkin on the ARC ULTRA + one sub + 2 rears.Apart from that, I’m thinking on getting also a Move 2 for moving it around the rooms… ALso I want to buy a turntable… so I’m looking for advice about which one to buy… thinking that I would love to use it in all speakers at the same time and get benefit about the sonos ecosystem.I also appreciate opinions on Sub 4 vs Sub mini, Era 100 vs Era 300 :)About how to connect the turntable these are the options I’m thinking:Sonos Port + Any turntable A turntable with BluetoothAre there others? Which one do you think is the best one? I’m new on this and any experience advice will be highly appreciatedThanks!!!

New to Sonos, wondering what this does; selected on Connect:amp

.: Greetings, all. Last year in 2024 I purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO turntable. With help from many on this forum, I was able to buy a Sonos Port pre-amp, and all was well with the new product. I could easily switch between the LG tv and the Pro-Ject turntable.A couple of days ago, I decided I wanted to change some of the EQ settings for the sound for the turntable. I discovered that changing the Bass, Treble, and Balance Control Settings does not make any difference, nor does the Loudness option.I have no idea how to correct this function. The rest of my Sonos speakers (Arc SL, two One SL’s) are working fine. If anyone has any advise on how to correct the currently non-functional EQ controls on my Sonos App, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your assistant and guidance.

I have had enough with three out of four Sonos Connects that stopped working. Time to Wiim. Sonos is garbage!!!!

Volume shuts off after playing for a few minutes. I have one pair of outdoor Sonos speaker powered off one amp. 

Update 03/31/25This issue has been resolved for iOS with update 80.18.25😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊Part OneYou can continue reading for the complete story or skip to Part Four for latest news. In Part Three you’ll find news from Sonos Tech Support (STS) with a suggested work-a-round with promise of a final resolution to come later.As the title indicates you may find that the balance slider is not working on your Sonos Amp under certain configurations. Meaning that there’s no change in audio position. The slider still appears as white (active) and not greyed out (inactive).I have two Sonos Amps used as music devices only; both setup with Sonos subs and 3rd party speakers. Had a conversation with Sonos Tech Support (STS) who helped...kinda’.STS ran a diagnostic on both Amps and said it showed they were set as Home Theaters🤔 That was very odd as they have never been setup as such; nor was TV Autoplay engaged. In fact a HDMI cable had never come within two inches (or less) of the HDMI port on the Am

I have an old system that has been working fine until recently. The system comprises a Play:1, a Play:3 and a Connect, connected to a HiFi.I have a music library on a Synology NAS.The Connect is hard wired (ethernet), while the Play:1 and Play:3 connect wirelessly.I can play from my library to the Play:1 and Play:3 without a problems. Radio also works just fine.The Connect however will not play from the library. It gives the error:     Unable to play “song file name”, access to “server share” is denied.The same song will play on the Play devices just fine, so I don’t think there is a Synology rights issue. However, the Connect will happily play Radio streams, which also suggests that the Connect is working fine.Any idea what the problem with the Connect and library might be?Many Thanks,Neil Attard

Hi all,I have bought a Sonos Amp which will be connected a total of 6 Sonos in-ceiling speakers: 4 x 8” in the living room, 1 x 6.5” in the kitchen and 1 x 6.5” in the bathroom (all playing in mono obviously).I need to be able to select (= switch on/of) 3 zones: living room, kitchen and bathroom. Since Sonos does not support zones, I am thinkng of using the Taga Harmony TS-4 (see here) as a speaker selector. What worries me, since I am not very knowledgeable in the subject, is if there will be any issues regarding currents & impedance that could destroy the Sonos Amp, speaker or even the Taga Harmony! Could you please advise me regarding this issue?Thank you!

Posting this to make sure I am not missing something.    I am a long time Sonos customer.  Recently decided to add a Turntable to my system.   Looked at Victrola Stream Carbon sold by Crutchfield and Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable sold by Sonos coupled with the Era100 and line-in adaptor.  I went for the Pro-ject T1 and Era100 combo.    Got the Turntable and Era connected after receiving the separately ordered RCA -Y male to 3.5mm mini jack.  Everything working fine.  Era100 (my first) is very nice sound!  But there seems to be some shortcomings on both the Turntable and Sonos app which is why I am posting this to get some perspective from others.  First, it’s been many years since I owned a Turntable so I had assumed a modern Turntable would have a few standard features like auto return once it reached the end of the vinyl side or the platter motor would idle once the arm is returned to a resting position.   What I discovered is that I have bought a very, very basic turntable.  Must p

I intend to connect my current 3rd party amplifier and two passive speakers to a Sonos Port. If I connect a Sonos subwoofer to the Port and place it in the same room with the passive speakers will there be a latency/delay issue between the wired and wireless speakers?

As my patience for sonos is running thin and this latest issue has me in a melt down. Looking for some feedback/therapy lol. SonosNet will stay as my primary connection as I still believe it to be for less problematic then random wifi and Sonos’s new tech support stance of blaming our routers and not helping. after the last update my boost is hardwired and shows as connected but no speakers are connected. If I hardwire any one speaker they all show up. I tried resetting the boost and adding it again and though it shows up on the device list, as soon as I unplug the Ethernet from the speaker the devices all vanish except for then boost.  In the years of circumventing issues I’ve never seen this one.  Sonos advice was I need to reset my entire system. I started with easy to access speakers but they will not add to the boost based system. Any thoughts?  

2 amps show on the app w the sound slider grayes out and no sound coming out. How do I fix this ?
