Hi! I have a Sonos Port connected via ethernet cable, an older 2nd gen Sonos Connect, connected via ethernet cable (and wireless?), two Sonos Play 1 speakers (as a stereo pair) connected via wifi. I had everything setup and working on my network as described above. For the Connect, I had set it up on wifi and then later plugged in an ethernet cable to it. I don’t think I ever did anything to the config after plugging in the cable. Then, I replaced all of my networking equipment - routers, switches and APs. All new IP address and wifi SSIDs and passwords. I didn’t make any changes to the Sonos devices, yet all were found by the app and are working perfectly. I can understand why the Port and Connect would do this - since my phone and computer are on the same network, but how did the Play 1 stereo pair move to the new network?? I never intervened to change the SSID / password on them. Just curious how this happened? My router sees all the devices and has assigned them DHCP addresses as f

The new Sonos app installed on 5/08/24 is absolute garbage.  Garbage defined:1 - when the app launches it is unable to connect to the home system I've been running for 9 years.2 - to connect to the existing home system, I'm forced to logout, login 2x to actually connect.3 - rebooting the Sonos home system doesn't resolve the above.4 - reinstalling the Sonos app does not change the experience above I'm working from a Pixel 8 Pro for any pixel users out there.Sonos engineering team:  you are slippin.  Get your * together.Yours underwhelmed*Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.*

Hello -- I’ve got a Sonos system with a port, a playbar, and 4 individual Sonos speakers.  The port is connected to a receiver so I can play Sonos content over speakers, and also to a CD player.  The playbar is connected to the t.v., and I can play t.v. audio through both the playbar and the speakers if I choose.I’ve got a 2nd receiver, and a 2nd pair of speakers I’ll be setting up in another room.  Is there any way for me to connect this 2nd group to my overall Sonos system?cheers, Cheryl

Why does the Works with Sonos capability for my Receivers require that my Sonos Port has to be on Wi-Fi only vs Ethernet?  If the Port is plugged into Ethernet on the same network/subnet (i.e. into switches that are going to the same router as the WiFi signal but hardwired instead of on wi-fi) My Pioneer and Onkyo receivers - both of which have Works with Sonos capability - don’t find the Sonos Port.   The feature only seems to work if i unplug the hardwire and let the Port connect via WiFi only.  Mind you regardless of ethernet or wifi the Ports are getting a 192.168.0.xxx address - so it shouldn’t make a difference unless the Works with Sonos is dependent on some WiFi-Direct or AirPlay style capability.  I would ideally like to run my Sonos Ports off their ethernet connection but this dependency prevents that.  Feels like a bug in the implementation.

I purchased a Crown cdi4000 amp to use for an outdoor 70v speaker setup.  (link). Apologies if this is a basic question, but was wondering if anyone has ever set one of these up with a port and had advice for how to do so?  I’m wondering:Can I get a single RCA to Phoenix connector like this one, hook it to the digital port on the Sonos and then run it to a single channel on the amp? Or do I need two of those - one for each analog channel - to hook up to the two channels on the amp.  (in which case I’d use the bridge output to bridge the channels together)Any advice? Thanks in advance!

I have hard wired speakers using Sonos Amp hard wired through a netgear switch.  My house is wired in every room to this router centrally. The music cuts out for up to 10 seconds at a time often enough to become a big problem.  I have already disabled WiFi and rebooted my hardware including the amp's.

Sonos app says my Sonos Connect needs updating but update fails every time I try. Errors 30 and 1013. Tried connecting via ethernet to router, still no luck. Won’t allow use in the meantime..Anyone else have this problem?

I’m experimenting with removing my Boost from my system and running on my home Wi-Fi network. When I take out the Boost and restart my components the app no longer recognizes my system. Is this normal? Must I set up my system again as if it’s a new system?

HiI have a Connect Gen 2 which I'm trying to upgrade for use in the Sonos 2 app. The app finds the Connect and I follow the on screen instructions. It gets to a stage where the app says "Press the button with the flashing light", in the app this looks like it should be the play/pause button but the buttons on my Connect do not have lights. How do I get past this stage please. Thanks  John

I was recently gifted the Sonos Amp, which I have the option to return. The idea behind the gift was that it would enable me to play my vinyls through my current Sonos setup.For context, I currently have an old Technics SL1200 (no phono preamp) that I’ve never used, and an existing surround sound system comprised of the Arc, Sub and two Ones that I use with my TV and for music. I also have an OPPO UDP-205 4K Audiophile bluray player with a built-in DAC. I’ve been told it can be used as a preamp—not sure how good it’d be for that though. How can I integrate the Technics TT into my system? As I’ve no plans to get passive speakers in the near future, is the Amp redundant? I’m also open to purchasing additional products if it would mean a significantly better listening experience.

I have 2x AMPs. Both disconnect from my network if I attached ethernet. I am also unable to switch wifi off. It fails if the ethernet is not attached but the device detaches if I connect ethernet. I have watched pings fail when the ethernet attached then restart when it is disconnected. The wired network is work for 20+ other devices so does not appear to be an issue. Both Amps work fine on wifi. Any suggestions as I would like to switch to a wired network.

I have a Marantz PM7000N amplifier with a Marantz CD6007 (CD player) and Pro-Ject Debut turntable connected to the amp using RCA cables to the respective audio in’s. I have a Sonos Port connected to the amp using the recorder out RCA  and then to the Port line in RCA.  The Port is streaming music to a stereo ERA 300 setup wirelessly. All works well playing music from turntable, CD player and Internet radio using the amps source for each device. The issue is, I cannot control the volume to the speakers using the amps remote control. The volume indicator goes up and down on the amp when using the Marantz remote but it does not alter the volume to the speakers. The only way I can control the volume to the speakers is from within the Sonos S2 app. Within the Sonos app I have the line out level set to ‘FIXED’. I have tried ‘VARIABLE’ and ‘PASS THROUGH’ on the line out level as well,l but i still cannot control the speaker volume using the amp. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you.    

I have three outdoor speakers (Sonos by sonance) running to a Sonos connect:ampIt’s not getting enough power because of hardware. I have a second identical amp. Is it possible to bridge them together. Thanks 

I have a large, open space, living and kitchen area with 6 Sonos Architectural ceiling speakers connected to a Sonos Amp. I’m curious how some would recommend I wire them for the best sound. The room is a large rectangle. With L being the left channel and R being right, what would you do?LLLRRR orLRLRLR  

Hi,Since the new app update I am no longer able to control my 3rd party subwoofer connected to my sonos amp. The menu seems to just have vanished from the new app (see attached image). Needless to say, ability to control the sub from the app and to adjust crossover was one of the main reasons I bought the amp. Will this be fixed? 

So I have had this since it debuted and I cannot get the sound right. Sonos recommendation for a turntable and everything. Any help? I am not the best with networking so it could be that! I am using Eros Mesh WiFi Routers 

Can I add 2 of these sets (sub + 2 rock speakers) to only 1 Amp and is it possible to keep 1 set as just a left channel and the other set as the right channel

I have been away for a couple of weeks and after updating the app, I am unable to play from my turntable or CD player from my grouped Play 5s (with SubGen2)I have an input connected to each speaker, which have always worked perfectly.I am aware that autoplay is currently disabled in this update. But I cannot get any sound at all from either external player.I tweaked the source level from 2 from 2 to 3 for the turntable but still nothing.Overall I have had much better stability from the new app while streaming BUT I tend to listen to vinyl and CD inputs more than 70% of the time so this is really annoying.I have attached a screenshot, Line in (L) connected ...which would be my turntableIs there a fix presently?Thanks in advanceStu

Hi, Some days ago I managed to upgrade my system with the S1 controller to the new Sonos app. I bought a sub mini and 2 Sonos One 2nd Gen. I have been trying to add them to my existing Sonos system but when it has finished and needs to update, it is not working (even being connected with an ethernet cable). I have tried everything I have read here: rebooting router, switching off every single product, reseting the app. Try in other devices… disconnecting everything and connecting only the speakers not updating (but then the system does not reconognise them). Then connect everything back and again I can see them on the system (with the label: not registered)... Then I reset both and tried to connect the sub mini. It worked!! It did the updating properly (wireless) and it is working correctly. However, I have tried again the 2 Sonos One and still get the same errors. Sometimes is 1002 and most of the time is 1000. Anyone can help? Thank you very much.

Aujourd’hui je voulais écouter de la musique sur mon portable rattaché à trois hauts parleurs Sonos.  Mais voilà qu’il est maintenant impossible d’utiliser nos bibliothèques musicales.WTF!  Si c’est le cas je me débarasse complètement de tout mon système Sonos.Hostie de gang de crétins.  Bravo champion!Excusez-là.Bye Bye Sonos

I have my turntable playing through my Connect, but I find the sound tends to cut in and out periodically, for typically very brief periods.  I find this happens more frequently with my newer 180 gram vinyl than when I play my really old records.  What could cause this?  Is it the quality of my RCA cables?  Very frustrating. 

I would like to know whether my rega rp1 turntable, which has a hard wired rca red and white output, will connect to either an era 100 or 300?  can I just buy an rca to 3.5mm jack adapter and also the jack to usb c adapter? also, I do have a pre amp and also amp, could they be connected as well or is that pointless? Very much in the dark as you might guess! any help appreciated!

I just installed a Sonos Amp connected to a pair of Sonos Architectural Ceiling Speakers (8”). The setup seems to work fine and plays correctly.  However when I try to detect the Architectural Speakers, I get an error that they cannot be found. “Make sure you’re connected to the same wireless network as Sonos, and give it another try.”My Sonos Amp is hardwired to my router via the network port but on the same home network. My phone running the Sonos app is obviously wireless. Is the error message literal? Does my amp really need to be wirelss? If so, does it get even crazier and do they both need to be on either 2.4 or 5 band?

I want to watch You Tube videos on my PC with the sound on  Sonos in Ceiling speakers. Connect using Wifi, no cables.With a Mac I could use Airplay, but how can I do the same with a PC?Merci
