Hi I have a Project T1 with built in pre-amp.  This is connected to my sonos amp.  I was getting a low huming noise but since aded a project pre amp inbetween which nhas fixed ths issue.However the issue I have is Im watching TV then I want to listen to vinyl - I turn off the tv and turn on the record player.  The amp is set to output to the speakers my tv is grouped with so more often than not it will play but sometimes it doesnt and I have to restart the amp or even speakers. Is there anything I can do that will make sure 100% that when I turn on my turntable and play a record it will play music out of the speakers ? Thanks

Hi there, I would like to stream music through my Yamaha Srt1000 TV sound bar. I'm using a sonos play 1 and play 3. I considered buying a sonos connect gen1/gen2 to make that connection, but I'm not sure. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi I have a connect amp zp120 and 2pcs Play3. I would like to connect these to my home cinema projector. I connected the audio IN on AMP but how can I connect the 2pcs play3?

I want to add a second pair of hard wired speakers to my amp. I understand they will be on the same channel. Can I hook up a volume control for one of the pair? 

Hi all.  I got my first Sonos speakers, am hooked and want to expand. I got a Beam Gen 2 and a pair of Era 100s. I’m looking to add more for my large house, and my engineering brain craves more knowledge on how this system works.My questions boils down to this: I’ve read that when adding a sub to your setup, Sonos will automatically apply a low-pass filter to the sub and high-pass to the other speakers, thus unburdening them from having to handle low frequencies.  Thats cool.  My question is, does Sonos only do that when adding a sub to a group, or do they also do that for other speaker combinations. For example, if I add a new five to my existing Era100s pair, would Sonos apply some filter to optimize for that combination to account for what I imagine is better bass capability of the five vs. the Era100s?  The answer may help me think about how I grow my system either incrementally or with bigger upgrades. If adding a single five to my Era100’s pair wouldnt be ideal, I’d just wait to

Good morning, I currently have 2 Sonos Ones connected to an ethernet network. I need to connect a wired mic 🎤 to give conferences. If I buy a Sono Amp and plug the microphone into the jack input. Will the sound from the microphone be broadcast on the Sonos One? 

Hi everybody,I bought my Sonos Era 100 6 months ago, and I was able to play music from my record player Project T1 Bt. For about a month, despite the connection being active between the 2 devices, the music has not been played.The Sonos speakers work perfectly with my Samsung TV, and the record player also plays music on my Jabra Elite Active headphones. So it seems like there's a problem between the speakers and the turntable. Anyone have the same problem? Thank you very much!

I have a simple setup with a Connect:amp, Sonos sub and two loudspeakers. Randomly the streamed music is cut out for 5 to 10 sec. The sound is not completely gone as you can hear low hz mumbling music. Most times the cut out is in the end of a song.The system is wired but the problem is the same in a wireless setup.Any suggestionsregards Niels

I am moving and I would like to use my old system with streaming.  I put it together in the 90s, mid-range stuff  —JVC receiver, CD, dual-cassette (it was the 90s), Sony turntable, Advent speakers…We have cassettes, but I’m not too concerned with that. And we’re not likely to use the receiver, except as an amp. We would like to listen to SiriusXM, which we use in our cars and I use on my phone. We have several hundred CDs and LPs. I like the speakers and would like to use them in our main room. I’m not familiar with going wireless, but people tell me Sonos is the way to go. Does that mean an amp and some kind of receiver on each speaker, to pick up the signal from the amp? 

Since a short time my Sonos connect 1, does not streaam correctly. It works with hickups. I changed the networkcable and assigned a unique IP adress, but it stays the same. Could I reset the device to solve this problem, or is the device broken?

Hi,I have a Sonos Connect connected to a Yamaha A-S501 amp, I also have a Sonos 5 series 1, the system is 5-7 years oldI orginally had Cabasse indoor speakers and Niles outdoor speakers, a few years ago the tweeter on one of the Cabasse speakers failed, I assume too much power so I upgraded to Klipsch speakers and more recently one of the woofers failed in the Niles. I have since purchased Sonance outdoor speakersWith volume control on both the AMP and the phone app is there a way to control the system so I don’t get too much power going through the speakers? I don’t want to blow up any more TIANigel 

I have a stereo pair of Sonos fives, and a turntable with either Bluetooth or RCA left and rigght jacks for sound output. Don’t seem able to pair via Bluetooth, so I was going to hook up with cables, but the sonos fives only have single 3/8 input jacks. Will I lose sound quality if I run a mono RCA-to-3.5 jack into each Sonos five?

I had posted earlier about connecting my vintage record player to Sonos and was given the exact information I needed and was able to get that done. Now that I have done this I notice the speaker volume is not terribly high like if I were just streaming music to my speakers and not going through the connect. I was wondering if I could add something to my system to give more volume? would I add an amp or something else?Again, not terribly savvy with this stuff and any help would be appreciated.

I have an Argon Audio TT turntable and it has worked fine for a while, but when I decided to switch over to a Sonos setup, it didn't respond well to that.When I connect the turntable up to my Era 100. It gives me a lot of static and barely any sound from my LP.The turntable does have a RIIA preamp and I've tried it on a non Sonos speaker and it works fine.I have also tried on my Sonos move 2 and it behaves the same as the other one.I don't know what to do here.

Hello, I’m trying to get to the bottom of an issue with one of my players dropping out audio, all others are perfect.Short Q: I have a Connect that is wired to a network switch and has frequent drop outs - can it choose to use wireless even though it has an ethernet cable in the back of it? Long Q:Sonos system made up of:Port - WiredConnect - WiredPlay 1 stereo Pair - WiredPlay 1 - Wired 2 x Play 1 - Not Wired No changes to my system for a few years, the last change I made was to replace an older ZP90 with a Port when S2 happened. Everything has been happy until the last couple of months, the Connect has been suffering drop outs - sometimes a second or 2 which it recovers from, sometimes it won’t even start.I’ve been on to Sonos support a couple of times and they have changed the WiFi channel on the Sonos system and changed the channel on my Virgin Hub 3 and turned off Auto Channel. This hasn’t fixed it (maybe it has helped, but hard to be sure as it’s an intermittent issue) and I have

Bonjour, Mon système actuel est composé d'une play5 et d'une paire de play 1.Je veux rajouter une platine vinyle équipée d'un preampli et qui fait Bluetooth. Puis-je utiliser le Bluetooth ou est-ce que je suis obligé de la brancher sur ma play 5 ?Merci 

I have an older Yamaha Audio Receiver and a couple of Boston Acoustic speakers I want to use for my office.Can I use an older S1 connect to plug into the receiver and run my music from Spotify. I am using S2 throughout the house to run all my other Sonos Gen 2 speakers. I would be listening to these 2 system separately. S1 for the home office and S2 for the house an outside.Long winded but will the S1 system work for the office setup?ThanksM

On the Sonos website https://support.sonos.com/de-de/products/connect il looks like the connect should support the S2 app.I have an existing S2 system on my network and the S2 app suggests setting up the connection which is green blinking. But when I press the option in the S2 App it tells me that I should downgrade to S1 to connect it with my system.What can I do to connect the Connect with my S2 system or am I misinterpreting the symbols on the Sonos website.Thanks

Hi, i am looking at upgrading my basement speaker set up. Currently only using (2) Costway Dual 10” 1600W powered controlled speakers mostly streaming through bluetooth. I am wondering how I can install (4) ceiling mount speakers that go to a sonos amp and then play with the existing 10” speakers. I’ve read about using the “line in” on the sonos amp to my speakers, would that connect all of them and play at the same time or is that too much on the sonos amp? The 10” speakers are currently plugged into a 110V outlet. Link to the speakers below. Appreciate any help!10" Speakers

Hi!I have seen this issue here multiple times, but I so far I did not found a solution:My new Sonos Amp does not switch to Sonos Net (wm 0). It always stays on wm 1. And causes then problems when beeing in the same group as the other, wm 0 devices - at least I think this is the reason why I have dropouts and unreachable sonos systems ;) As long as the Amp its on its own, every thing seems fine.So: Any idea about how I can convince the Amp to switch? WifI signal is ok there. But I am no Sonos Techi to know what else I can do/switch/toggle… 

Hi! Bought a Pro-ject T1 turntable and Sonos five for Christmas. Set up and was working fine, then just stopped playing. Record still spinning, we jiggled cords, static, came on a bit again, then no sound out of sonos. We can hear it faintly from the record player but nothing from sonos. Turntable is set to line out. If we switch to phono out it plays through the sonos but quietly and with static. Sonos streams fine. We disconnected and reconnected everything, reset the sonos. Still just a faint sound from the turntable and nothing coming from sonos. Help!

The only Sonos device I have is a Symfonisk.I want to buy a turntable, but can’t find how I can have it play on my Symfonisk.I’d rather not have to buy a 500$ device to ensure connectivity…Any simple solution?Thanks

I purchased a Fisher 36 that was made in 1972. It is a phenomenal multi changer stereo that works great. The person I purchased it from said it could connect via RCA to a Sonos connect or something and I would be able to listen to records that way. I tried this and it did not work. Was wondering if others have been able to do this and maybe the connect is not what I should use?Thank you for any help you can offer. Mike 

Looking at buying a Sonos Port to link with my old Technics stack HiFi system incorporating a Technics SU-X520D amplifier.Specifically wanting to do two things:1. Stream vinyl from my turntable which connects to the amp via phono sockets to my Sonos system (Arc soundboard with 2 SL1 surround speakers and 2 standalone Sonos One and 2 standalone SL1 speakers.2. Stream music from my computer via Airplay through the Technics system. My understanding of the advice in the posts in the Community is to hook up the tape deck Out / In jacks to the Port In /Out connections. That is fine, happy to do that, but as the tape deck is currently hooked up to the amp, I wondered if there were other possibilities? I have DAT Record Out sockets;VCR Out and In socketsVDP one set of (unspecified) sockets.There is also a set of External Out / In sockets, but these are currently hooked up to the Graphic Equaliser.In addition, there is an Auxiliary Digital-In socket which, presumably, I could connect to the Por

Hello, I'm looking for advice on my whole home Sonos system (Boost ,((Amp w/ 2 sets of in-wall mounted Bose Virtually Invisible 191 speakers)),1x Play 1, 2x Play 3, 2x Play 5, Playbar on 75” Sony LED, Beam on Sony 65” LED and 1x Play 5 hooked into a Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT.) The record player is always lower than the other speakers on group play. I'm on Xfinity  2G speed internet service running about 1.8G regularly. How can hook this all up to run effectively and sound amazing. The Bose lines all run to a lower level closet where the AMP is picking both sets up, so I cannot change volume between those 2 sets. thanks
