Hi everybody,My question is simple :How can I connect my Sonos Port to this preamplified system ?Thank U ! 

Does ANY piece of equipment you connect to the line-in RCA’s on Amp require a pre-amp? It doesn’t really seem to be clearly defined anywhere.

I’ve seen a few responses on this that say move your system closer, but this is the system set up that I have had for over three years now and the issue just started about 6 months ago. My Connect Amps are connected via Ethernet to wired speakers. While playing they just “cut out” and then will start up again. Anyway to do a hard reset on the Connect Amps? I have sent diagnostics to Sonos this afternoon as well. Just curious if others have had this issue / have resolved this issue. Relocating not a solution given where all the speaker wire for the home is located.

I just bougth a Sonos amp.  And for me it works great, while i have an Iphone.  However my girlfriend has an android phone.  And she’s using Youtube video, not youtube music as she listens to music you can only find on the “normal” youtube.  How can she listen on the sonos amp?     We have found a sonostube app.  but then you can’t login to youtube.  she has premium, to avoid the adds.What equivalent has sonos made for the airplay for android phone?  Cause shurely they have thought of this?  this is the 3rd gen amp. and this issues has been all over the internet for many years.  And since they are not adding bluetooth to the amp,(which costs nothing to add),  they must have thought of a better solution?  Or am i forced to return the amp, and get one of the competitors?  I would hate that, because i really like the sonos amp.  but missing a feature for all non IOS devices would be such a massive deficiency that it’s not useable at all. if half of my guests etc. can’t use it..

I have a Port and have a playlist/alarm scheduled to be playing continually and it seems that after a power cycle the unit will stop playing. Is this normal operation or is there a workaround? thanks

I have a Sonos 1 system including one play:3 and two play:5 and a ZP90.My ZP-90 stoped working (it’s dead) so I bought a “new” second handed.Since I received it I have facotry reset it, plugged it by wire to my router and tried to install it (from my iPhone-app) via system->add product. But the system can’t find it.When I reboot it now it starts blink green. I have rebooted everything: the modem, the router, unplugged all play-speakers, the apps on my two phones.Any ideas? 

Diagnostic # 1979963598My beam just started going down to mute out of no where. I tried turning off the touch controls and disconnecting from google assistant, which didn’t work. Also the tv says the beam is muted. I can turn up the volume using the remote or the app. If I’m lucky it will only drop a few points. But if I try to adjust it, it goes back down to mute. any advice on how to fix this?

How to connect receiver that I has now to here cds, tapes radio to a Sonos port?  Do I need to connect to the place where the wired speakers are now?

I would like to set up surround sound as well as full mono for music with an existing setup if possible. I have hardwired with 12/4 gauge wire at the four corners of a rectangular pool with rock speakers  from Niles Audio Rs8si (now known as proficient audio). I have two amps and a Sonos arc (arc used as center) at the small end of pool on porch. is it possible to switch back and forth from surround sound and then mono and or stereo mode for music.  other than red black wiring only is there a better way to wire up?  when I called Proficient/Niles the senior service engineer t sent me a mapping of the wires to allow for greater dispersion with surround. but not sure if it’s compatible with Sonos amp My installer says I had to choose between mono and surround     

I have three zones.  I had a yamaha 3060 powering them  I now have sonos amp - kitchen studysonos amp- patiosonos port  with the yamaha 3060 amp   is there a way to not have to go into the app (yamaha) and turn it on so that sonos port will work. .. meaning can i just use the sonos phone app and tell it to turn everything on in all zones.. I know sonos port has a trigger.. ?   is there a way for screen tv viewing of what is playing on the sonos system thank you   

Hi! We're looking to install 6x outdoor speakers in the ceiling in an outdoor seeting area. We want to have these speakers amplified with three Sonos amps in one “room” with a third party subwoofer an amplifier. I heard that it's not possible to have more than two Sonos amps in one “room” configuration (so used as three stereo pairs together). Is this correct?

I currently have a HEOS/Denon system that’s connected to Wifi and with 4 hardwired speakers and a Sub that is connected wirelessly (not sure how they did that. Pro install), in my outdoor patio.  I intend to keep the hardwired speakers and use a sonos sub. Anyway, I don’t like a wifi system.  I want to be able to play or have guests play their favorites channels via bluetooth rather than getting on my wifi system.What do I need to accomplish this?

All of my TV sound is piped into sonos amps so I am able to play my TV sound in all speakers in my house. I wanted to connect a mixer through the sonos port and into the amp so I could sing vocals with wireless mics into the sound board, and combine the sound from the TV and the mixer. Is that possible? 

Possible a slightly quirky setup question, but I’ll ask anyway. Apologies that this relates to my other question, but I feel it warrants a sepaarte topic. EDIT: Please ignore! I just realised that wiring in series is not recommended, so that rules out me adding another pair as I had hoped. I have a Sonos Amp driving a pair of Monitor Audio C180 (https://www.monitoraudio.com/en/product-ranges/basics/c180/). These are 6 ohm. I want to add another pair of speakers at the other end of the room. The ones I am looking at are 8 ohm. Should I be able to safely drive both sets of speakers off the same amp, with the wiring being fed Amp > C180 (6 ohm) > new speakers (8 ohm) ? My knowledge around resistance etc is poor.If the above is not recommended, would it be better if I bought 6 ohm speakers so that all four were 6 ohm?Many thanks Jim

I have multiple rooms with speakers wired to Sonos Amps. I also have a playbar. When listening to Amazon music, Spotify, apple music, and Sirius XM the music continues playing on the playbar without fail, but comes and goes regularly in the rooms that are wired to the Amps. The amps are Ethernet wired to my router, and the playbar is wired to the amp as well. Can someone help suggest a fix for why the amp would stop playing to wired speakers, but continue playing to the sound bar?

Hello I have a Sonia amp which has been professionally installed . It worked for 10mins and then a red scd white flashing light has come on. After an hour with dojos support rebooting and doing what they told me it's still not working.  it's one amp and 4 speakers can anyone help me solve this. the amp has strong wifi  

I just setup my Sonance MAG 6.1 garden series speaker system last. I first tried playing a movie and it seemed to only play the the front L and R sound channels, no audio dialog. The sound was coming from an AppleTV 4K via AirPlay. Next I tried playing music from my iPhone via AirPlay and again part of sound (the voice dialog is missing). Then I tried using the Sonos app Sonos Radio to play music and again the voice is missing. I called Sonance an verified the speaker installation and the it is wired in parallel and all speakers and the subwoofer are working. Anyone have any ideas why I am only get part of the audio program?

Helloi have an amp connected to 4 sets of in ceiling speakers that was working great and now suddenly when I put the volume past 70ish the sounds cuts out. When I unplug the right banana clips I can go up to 100 volume.  I understand this to be a safety feature so the amp doesn’t break beyond repair but I can’t fathom what has happened to the right cables to cause this issue. We had some construction work done and new lights installed but I don’t see how it could be related. Does the community have any ideas what the issue is in the connections/cables to cause this? thanks in advance for the help

anyone have an idea/fix for a S2 connect amp that won’t stop blinking white. Tried new router tried to reset existing router. tried to re-setup  hold play/+

Hello - hopefully a straightforward question. Is the ZP90 compatible with AirPlay 2? The reason I’m looking at one of these is to stream audio to my HiFi as it has both optical and coaxial audio out, where the Port is limited to coaxial only. Thank you

We would like to make it as easy as possible for guests to use the Sonos amp and speakers in their rooms to stream audio from their phones.  The best solution we’ve seen for this in other rental properties is VSSL, where the user simply connects to a bluetooth receiver with the corresponding room name and voila - their iphone audio is streaming through the in-wall / in ceiling speakers. Has anyone attempted to provide an alternate audio source for the TV audio in from their sonos amps, so that alternate sources can be used as the “TV Autoplay” feature in a local room, especially when no TV exists in that room? 

I just installed Sonos Amp with my speakers and a KEF HTB2 subwoofer.I see in the Sonos app I can set the phase to 0 or 180 - and I have a switch on the subwoofer that does the same thing - 0 or 180.I set them both to 0.My question is “why” do I have the same setting via Sonos app and a switch on the sub - and should they be set to the same setting - 0 in my case.

Hello! I just moved and got a new router. In the process of getting everything hooked up I’m having a line-in problem. My system is Sonos One, Play:3, and Connect - which I have hooked up to my receiver. I have my Connect hooked up exactly the same as it was before but my line in is no longer working. Everything but the connect is working. I get the message in the attached photo when I try to use my line-in. I was on the phone with Sonos for almost an hour last night and couldn’t get the issue solved. All hookups have been checked and double checked for a firm connection so that’s not the issue.   Hoping the community can help! You’ve saved me so many other times!
