Components & Architectural

I sawe the other thread about getting this combination to work, and it didnt look like it was solved.Anywaty, I have this configuration, and got it to work. It worked after I hit the Item under “Your System”, then scroll all the way down to “+ Pair New Device”. When I hot this, it told me I was about to disconnect my iPhone from sonos. I went ahead, and it paired with the turntable.Now all I do it toggle the bluetooth stich on the turntable for it to take over the other pairings, such as phone, tv etc. Hope this helps. Julian

I am looking to have the same music playing through the wifi network to numerous analog stereos in my house.  I have two stereos on either side of a large room so I am hoping there won’t be any delay.  I have another analog stereo in the garage and would put another elsewhere.  I prefer my analog powered stereos.  I am thinking of getting the Port, but I’m not going to buy 5 ports obviously.  The older Connects used are pretty affordable.  I was thinking of getting a port as my master and then just buying some used Connects.  Does that make sense?  I’m not interested in the speakers.  Does Port have passive units for other rooms/stereos just with rca outs?  Would the Connects work fine with the Port for this application?

What was something that happened a couple times in the past is now more serious. I live in a quiet neighborhood. There have been a few times in the past where I noticed that music was on outside and I just simply turned it off. I have a Sonos Amp connected to 6 outdoor Sonance speakers and a large sub as our ‘Backyard Sonos’. The volume was low, and it’s possible it was playing for days. I just hadn’t been in the backyard to hear it.There have also been a couple times when we noticed super loud beeping coming from the outside Sonos system. We noticed the backyard zone volume was set to 100%, but no music was set on that zone. I had to unplug it to reset it, because if I just moved the volume down it would just go back up. Again, this happened twice around 11 PM. It’s just my wife and I - we were in bed. There are no alarms set and no integration with stuff like Alexa or Google Home.It’s now almost 4:30 AM while I am writing this. I just woke up to my backyard Sonos blasting ‘Milky Chan

The Sonos app is not allowing me to enter any information under Line-in, Sources.  It says that Move 2 is “Not Connected” yet I have the iPod on and playing the 3.5mm jack into the DAC female to USB-C converter in place (purchased from the Sonos supplier as a compatible cable - a Baseus Type C Male to 3.5mm Female with built in DAC).The volume is up full on the iPod.I also tried it plugged into my laptop headphone output and it didn’t see that one either.Is there any way to configure the port without it seeing the connection so that I can play with the source level as some articles seem to indicate that this may be the issue?

I’ve added a ProJect turntable and preamp to my Sonos setup (two Play:5s and two Play:1s).  I get good sound quality by the volume is low. Here’s how I’ve set it up: I’ve routed the turntable through a pre-amp that’s connected to a Sonos Connect which connects wirelessly to my various speakers.  I’ve tried several amps, but the volume is always low, like a 3 or 4.  I’ve adjusted the volume levels on the turntable and the speakers to full volume, but still no luck.  Any suggestions?

Har köpt ett paket med utomhushögtalare och då ingick en AMP. Vad fyller AMP.en för funktion? Jag är inte så teknisk och trodde att jag bara skulle kunna sätta upp utomhushögtalarna och koppla upp dom i mitt befintliga SONOS system men det känns som om det är lite krångligare än så. Någon som vet hur man gör?  Moderator Note: Translation by Google Translate - I bought a package of outdoor speakers and it included an AMP. What does the AMP do? I'm not very technical and thought I could just set up the outdoor speakers and connect them to my existing SONOS system but it seems like it's a bit more complicated than that. Does anyone know how to do it?

I have an existing Port to several speakers, works as expected.  I attempted to add a Sonos Amp and a few speakers to play different music in different rooms.  However, when Amp is turned on, constantly makes a clicking noise (sounds like the audible text message typing).  It also constantly fluctuates the volume up and down, as wells as auto groups with my Port. I’m new to Sonos and this may not be doable. Please help.

i looked online, but can anyone suggest the crossover frequency in the sonos amp with a sub when the architctural speakers are detected? the default is 80 but those speakers appear to go below 50. 

I have a Lenovo laptop that I want to wirelessly stream via transmitter all audio (not streaming services) from computer through wireless receiver connected to amp 2.1….my amp 2.1 has passive 3rd party speakers and 3rd party powered subwoofer. I also have a connect gen1 on my sonos system as well but is not currently doing anything….I have tried lenovo 3.5mm headphone output to wireless transmitter…..wireless receiver to rca phono inputs on amp 2.1….not working...ideas?Thanks..!!...Bill Lutz

I have the PC App: Version 17.2.2 Build 90068190 and iPhone App Build: 83.01.11 - Most of my SONOS hardware is on Version 18.2 (build 94175110) with the exception of the BOOST Version 17.2.4 (build 86675110) and the Guest Playbase Version 17.2.4 (Build 86675110).Does all of the SONOS hardware have to be at the same version level?

Last night my Sonos One stereo pair stopped working while playing Sonos Radio. They show up in the app and both show they are connected to my WiFi with a string connection. I tried rebooting and can’t seem to play music through them. All my other Sonos components are working fine. Really frustrating.

Hi there!Does anyone use a CD Transport and external DAC? With your Sonos AMP and Sonos System? I just bout a CD Player with a DAC included, and it has yet to arrive. I am wondering if anyone uses a CD playing that has a DAC or used a Transport &  separate DAC. If you do, do or have you noticed CS’s sounding tons better? We have really been enjoying our Vinyl again, the sound is amazing! I am wondering if you use the Above digital CD player and DAC’s does it compare to playing vinyl, do you notice with the sonos system that CD’s sound just as great? What about with a higher end day and Transport? Is the sound worth it for an upgrade? I would love to hear your digital CD experience with Sonos. I have sonos speakers all over my house, and a couple ceiling ones wired to our AMP as well.Play 1’s, Sub, Play 3, Soundbar, is mostly what we use for music. Turntable is hooked up to a preamp as well. (through a switch box) I am waiting on the Cambridge AXC35 to arrive.what did you think?? Ho

Can I connect a Technics turntable via a Sonos audio input adapter cable to one of my ERA 300 and enjoy music from this source on my 2 ERA 300 speakers, my ULTRA ARC soundbar, and my SUB?

Hello all.I have my mac mini connected to my bravia tv with hdmi and i have the tv connected to sonos amp over line in. When i play the movie my speakers connected to sonos amp give a lag of sound approximately 2-3 seconds. At the same time when i disconnect tv from sonos amp and play the sound through tv speakers it is perfectly synchronized. Anybody knows the reason why? Is it my tv giving the lag or is it sonos lagging?

I have a stand alone turntable/ receiver combo whose speakers are no longer functional.  I have a separate receiver with Sonos connect in another room that can play through a 5.1 surround system or Room 2 stereo speakers.  Since the turntable is in the far end of the house and needs to stay there, I’d like to connect it wirelessly to the Sonos Connect.  The Brennan VB1 looks to be the top choice...any others devices or approach suggestions would be appreciated.

What do I need to hard wire my eras 100 to my Mac mini and achieve stereo. Thanks in advance.

I currently have two Sonance outdoor speakers connected in parallel to a single channel of a Sonos Amp. I’d like to add a third speaker for a patio space. I see that the Amp is approved to connect three Sonance speakers but I’m wondering if I can connect a third 8-ohm non-Sonance speaker in parallel to the system? I’d consider adding a third Sonance outdoor speaker but it appears they’re only available in pairs.

I am trying to connect a stereo pair of Sonos era 100 to rega turntable with rega pre amp and Sonos line in cable. When I play as pair sound coming from non line in speaker only. Can have them playing together as a group but not stereo pair.  Sonos technical team not yet been able to resolve.  Have tried changing both to 2.4ghz. Unpair then repair. Tried changing autoplay, delay, factory reset.  Line in showing as right speaker, have read this may be issue and needs to show as left, cannot change this setting though.  Anyone got any new ideas? 

I think the answer to the question that I am asking is “No” but just in case someone has found a solution, I wanted to ask anyway.I enjoy listening to college baseball on the weekends while I am doing chores and working outside.  Is thee a way to connect my iPhone 16 Pro (as it plays my Varsity app) to my Sonos so I can listen throughout the house and my garage?  Now, here is the hard part.  I have the Gen 1 Sonos bridge.I really do not want to drop $500 on a new product from Sonos as my current system still works fine.  Feel free to laugh at me and make fun of me but I am hoping someone has a solution. Thanks.

Has anyone successfully connected these two components via WiFi? Victrola says it will connect to the Symphonisk via WiFi. But I am having trouble pairing.Advise appreciated! 

Currently my is setup is a Sonos arc, two Sonos subs, a Sonos amp, and two Sonos ceiling speakers being used as surrounds.  I am wanting to connect a record player to my system, but understand that I need a line in device (era 100 or era 300).  Can I add two era 300’s as front corner speakers?  or do they have to be used as rear surround speakers?  If they are used as rear surround speakers am I able to still utilize my exiting ceiling speakers as well?

I have a SONOS PORT connected to a traditional 2-channel system along with two SONOS ONE remote speakers.  I cannot find a way to get turntable music to run through the PORT and out to my remote speakers while it plays through my 2-channel system?  Anyone help?

My Sonos Amp has been running well for several years. In about Feb 2026 two issues arose - that may or may not be related.The existing alarms after working flawlessly for years started to behave eratically, either not turning on at all or turning on and then off again well short of the preset time. I have deleted and recreated the alarms but this has not resolved this first issue.   When streaming a radio station the output, (at various times seemingly at random), jumps back to where it was about 3 minutes earlier. (if I had to guess I would say the control of the buffer has become unstable)  I have (a) restarted my NBN modem, (b) restarted  my wifi router and (C) factory reset the Sonos Amp and readded it back to my system and recreated the alrams but these have not resolved this second issue.How do I resolve these?  Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.
