Have 4 Sonos ports as part of a media system wired to play throughout the house. Music Appears to playing from the Sonos app, yet no sound in the house. All ports and plugs have been checked and reset. They are green, so all appears properly connected. Any suggestions to fix?

Morning allI’m not sure if this is an extreme use case, but please hear me out: I have a turntable and streamer+DAC combination connected to a headphone/pre-amp analog-in, which in turn has analog outputs to a Sonos Port. This is fine for listening to either digital or analog sourced music through my Sonos speakers, wherever they may be.However, I also have a set of passive speakers connected to monobloc amps (1 amp per speaker, L&R) and I was wondering if I connected my monobloc’s to a Sonos Port (potentially one Port for each monobloc), could I in theory send an audio signal from the Sonos Port connected to my headphone/pre-amp, wirelessly to the Port’s connected to the monobloc’s, these Port’s acting as a preamplifier to the monobloc’s, thereby allowing my passive speakers to effectively be active speakers, but of somewhat higher quality than a Sonos smart speaker?I am of course presuming that the music signal is at least CD quality/lossless and not compressed and that the Sonos

My Sonos amp that I use to play my record deck keeps disappearing out of my system   I re connect after had re set then it shows but then goes again.  Any advice ? 

Hi, I was hoping one of the knowledgeable folk on here could help. I have just purchased a Sonos ERA 300 primarily to listen to Beatles music on Apple. However, I have a large collection of cds and vinyls that I would like to listen through this. However, the only record/cd player I own is an Itek retro cd/vinyl/tape player. It was quite cheap and the only output it has is a headphone phono jack. Is it possible through adapters etc to connect to the sonos and receive good quality sound or do I need to buy a better turntable? Thanks in advance to any of your answers. 

If I connect a DAC vía cable to an era 300, but I have 2 era 300 , how do I play música on both?

Gentlemen, Swallow your pride and restore the original version which worked well, before you ruin the reputation of the company you work for. Work again on the update and offer it to your customers when it has been fully tested, or resign!  Simples. Time to admit failure and leave it to others more competent. 

Hi,I have a Sonos amp connected to my TV via an Hdmi arc cable. When watching tv, the sonos amps always turn on and use the external speakers. Even if I change the audio output on my tv to tv speakers, it switch to external speakers after 2/3 seconds.It is due to the fact that Sonos amp cannot be turn off.  Is there a way to not use the external speakers when watching tv ?  

Bonjour,  je viens d'acheter le port Sonos (sans ampli) afin de pouvoir connecter ma platine vinyle.  J'ai connecté ma platine à un ampli avec des câbles RCA et mon ampli au port avec des câbles RCA. Le port Sonos est bien visible dans mon profil et dans l'application, mais si je groupe le port avec mes enceintes (Pay5, Play 1 et Playbar), je n'ai aucun son...  Avez-vous des idées ? Le port diffuse-t-il la musique sur mes autres enceintes ? Merci pour votre aide et votre retour :-)

I have  Sony Wireless turntable that I have connected via bluetooth to my Roam 2.  I also have a Sonos Playbar (no bluetooth).  I am able to play music from Spotify on my phone on both devices by selecting both devices in the Sonos app.However, if I am playing a record from my bluetooth turntable on my Roam 2, I cannot add the Playbar on the Sonos app. When I open the app it defaults to the Playbar signal (rather than the Roam 2 signal), and since nothing is playing it shows “no content”. When I open “Your System” it shows that the Roam 2 has music, but is not selected, just the Playbar is. If I try to add Roam 2 so that both components are selected, the Roam 2 is cutoff in favour of the Playbar, where nothing is playing.  I have rebooted, factory reset, and reinatlled the app, all to no avail.  Any advice would be appreciated.

I have hr church bells that come on each hour and some rings are only 20 seconds. Etc and play for a whole minute since it only allows minutes. I it should be very easy to also add seconds. I know I must be the only one out of the 20 million users that ever have church bells that come in on the hour but it be very nice to be able to have it in seconds since all of my clocks alarm Bells come on for seconds not minutes 

Hi - I am still running my system on S1 without many problems.  Lately, though, my ZonePlayer 100 is disappearing from the network.  I think I purchased the unit around 2005, so it might just be dying...however, it comes back into the visible zones and plays music every time I power the unit off and on.  Any ideas for things to try to make the problem stop recurring?  Thanks, David   

Hello SONOS development team and beloved SONOS users,I have been using SONOS Roam for about a year and have been truly impressed by its excellent sound quality. As a result, I decided to replace my PC speaker setup with SONOS speakers as well. My current setup includes a Beam and two One SLs, and my primary purpose is to enjoy music while working on my PC and to watch online live performances.However, there is one dissatisfaction I have. The issue is that when playing audio from my PC, the rear One SLs do not play in full range. When playing music through the SONOS app, I can choose whether to play the surround speakers in full range or in ambient mode. However, when playing audio from my PC (i.e., in TV mode), this option is not available.After researching this issue, I found the following post in the SONOS community. It explains that full-range support in TV mode is not available in order to sync the audio with the actors' lip movements. https://en.community.sonos.com/home-theater-22

I’m experiencing weird crackling noise and distortion on a new Port through SPDIF output (streaming from Spotify).It sounds like digital clipping, and is most noticeable on low volume parts of songs.its not always there, sometimes it starts playing without it, but it always appears after a short while (or maybe I start noticing it after a while).output is set to “fixed” in the app, like recommended for use with external DACs, but in other modes the noise is also present.Sound from analog output is fine, but I bought Port to use with my own DAC, and don’t want to use analog output.I’ve never experienced anything like that with any other digital components.I tried connecting to 2 different DACs and also tried to pass Port’s spdif signal through a reclocker and also through spdif to toslink optical converter. Did not help. (All devices are known to work fine with other sources)Has anyone experienced anything like that? Do you think my unit is broken/DOA?any advise would be appreciated.tha

Hello! I just ordered this Optical to HDMI (arc) adapter from Sonos hoping that I will be able to connect it to my PC. Is it possible? Can I connect the adapter to the optical output of my PC and send the signal to the Sonos Amp HDMI (arc) input?    

Hi,So I have a turntable connected to a pair of Sonos 5 speakers and the system has worked just fine for over a year. This morning I was listening to a record and went to turn the volume up via the app and when I hit Apply, the sound cut out completely and now I can’t hear anything. I’ve shut down the app, uninstalled and reinstalled it, checked all the settings but nothing has worked. The connections are all fine and literally the only thing that’s changed was hitting that Apply button.   Does anyone have any idea on what to do as I’m beyond annoyed at this.    Thanks. 

 First, my Sonos is about 6-7 years old and it worked well. I’ve lost  the correct cable connection to my TV. As a result I have terrible sound. I get echos and very often I can’t control the volume with the remote.  My connection was  very vanilla but I don’t know how to reconnect the two. Any help will be appreciated. 

Hi,I have a Sonos Amp with 4 Sonos in-ceiling sonance speakers.I am wanting to add a turntable with a built in preamp so I’m able to just connect the turntable to the amp via RCA leads. I don’t have any separate bluetooth speakers etc. which I’m wanting to connect.I’m looking at the Pro-Ject debut carbon (Sonos edition). Was wondering if anyone has a similar set up or could recommend an alternative/better turntable.Thanks in advance

I’ve bought a Project T2 W and already have a Sonos ERA 300. Both are connected to the same WIFI Network, but I’m not getting any sound from the Era 300Any one with the same setup?

I have an assortment of older Sonos speakers and I was wondering, what component/s do I need to add to connect directly to my Wi-Fi network?  I’m currently using two Sonos bridges atm.  

Sub Gen 3 doesn't power up.  It makes a noise as if it is trying to boot but does nothing else.  There is an odd smell created as well.  In addition the power light does not illuminate.  It also cannot be discovered by the app.  It used to work fine and then it started doing this.

I have lost one set of in ceiling speakers in one room. They have just disappeared from my app.

Hello,Currently doing electrical remodel for a customer and dabbling into speakers as i have installed sonos amps and speakers for customer but this remodel has me hesistant. As this customer wants to use existing speaker throughout house. The house has over 22 speakers which each room has a a wall volume control as two speakers in each room will run to volume control then ran to media center in living room(speaker wire 16/4 and ethernet). I want to split house into 6 zones, listed below. Basically asking could i just have the wire ran from volume control wired straight into the amp or would i have too disconnect volume control(outdated i believe) and run new wires from each speaker to new amp?Trying to avoid running new wires to existing speakers, but am fine doing so if needed. Just confused if I’m over thinking and the volume control is just something that can coexist and use the speaker wire/ethernet ran back to the media center. Living room(4 speakers)Kitchen/Dining(4 Speakers)Bed

I have a Sonos amp connected to 4x Architectural ceiling speakers and a Sonos amp. The speakers work quite well but lack a little bass. As soon as the amp is added to the system, the equaliser and fader no longer work. 

Hello fellow members I have a question regarding the Sonos boost. I have been using it for a few years as I decided to add a separate Wi-Fi network to all my Sonos speakers in the house. Since I never had a problem with signal dropouts.Recently I added a pair of ERA 300’s as surround speakers and looking into the system settings in the Sonos app to check if the new ERA’s where connected to the separate Wi-Fi Sonos network I realised that I no longer can see in the settings if the speakers are connected to the Sonos boost by looking at the WM setting. My Sonos boost has been always connected directly to my router using a RJ45 and I am wondering now if Sonos have dropped this device whether or not it is worth still having this connected and if there is any benefit al all?thanks.  

Hi. I have an S1 system with 2 x connects and 2x connect amps. Recently our PC speakers gave up the ghost and I would like to know if there are any hard wired comptaible speakers that would allow me to use them as an output from my pc as well as sync with my S1 system and play from my Sonos app? Tall ask but if anyone will know, it will be here! Thanks in advance.
