Components & Architectural

I have a multi room system. We have Play 3/5 and 1 throughout the house.  We use a Boost to connect to the Wi-Fi router as it is not close to any speakers.  But it is becoming unstable it seems.  Is there a better option for connecting to the WiFi? Thanks

Hi,I have a Beam 2 soundbar connected to my TV via HDMI eARC and Symfonisk surround speakers. I also have a classic 2.1 setup with a Marantz PM7000N receiver in the same room. I would like to connect these two systems so that they play simultaneously (music streaming, TV playback) and can be controlled simultaneously, e.g. using the TV remote control.Will this allow me to Sonos Port the device without delay using grouping and how would the grouping behave when playing Dolby Atmos? I am mainly interested in supporting the bass component during playback, which is missing in the Sonos system.

Hi,I have a Gen 2 Beam, a Mini Sub and two rear Era 100’s, is it possible to add a further two Era 100’s as front right and left speakers?  The TV and the Beam are off centre in my room, I’m thinking that two front speakers would enable me to balance the front sound with the Beam acting as a centre speaker (I previously had a non-Sonos setup which did this).

I didn’t remove my S1 Connect before upgrading to the S2 app. What is the easiest way for me to remove it now so I can run it separately in S1?Thanks

I have a Pioneer PL-990 turntable and just purchased Era 100 to use with it. The turntable comes pre-wired with RCA and I just got an RCA to USB-c connector on Amazon (didn’t get the line in from Sonos because that one only works with a single, not double RCA).  The speaker is set up and active in the app, but the line in settings are grayed out. What am I doing wrong? The music isn’t flowing through the speaker, when I turn the turntable on.

I have Play 3 (x2) and Play 1 working just fine. They access Synology NAS for my music folder. I added a Connect:Amp (ZP120) which feeds 2 outdoor speakers, but it’s access to the music folder is denied. Radio and Spotify work fine, just access to the NAS folders is the problem.I have rebooted the NAS (I have SMB1 and NTLMv1 checked), removed and readded the path to the NAS folders in the S1 app.I tried altering the config file (smb? via SSH and PuTTY) but when I typed in cd/etd/samba it said that the file could not be found.I can play the outside speakers from the NAS file, but I have to group it to either the Play 3 or the Play 1.I cannot figure out if it is the Sonos unit or the NAS.Any ideas?Glenn

Hi, I have an old Sonos Connect: Amp that I have a couple of bookshelf speakers connected to. I also have a Sonos Bridge.  Can I somehow play my Apple TV 4K audio through the speakers?  This would have to be over wifi. This Connect: Amp does not have HDMI.If so, can somebody point me to instructions on how to set this up?  I cannot find any information on this.Thanks.Sonny

I have a Sonos Amplifier and was hoping I can connect it to my MacBook Pro and play music from there in the same way one would connect the amp to a turn table, I don’t want to connect with Apple’s airplay because the sound is a little weak and airplay doesn’t take full advantage of the speakers capabilities because of the over the air streaming. I’ve connected my MacBook to the amp but the music not playing. Does anyone know how I can make this work.  Thanks.

Hello All - hoping to get a question asked, and a couple of pieces of advice.I currently have an X2 turnable, with preamp, going into one of a paired up set of Sonos Fives (with a Sonos sub). I have a CD player in the other Five.I’m going to go for a more traditional setup and purchase a couple of Wharfedale Eco 4.2 speakers. I saw a review in which the reviewer was saying he would never do this again because of the delay of sound - for example he drops the needle and the amp doesn’t start the sound until around 1 second later. No I have these options I can choose with the Five in which I can select different levels of delay but, does that feature not exist on the Amp. Are we stuck with a 1 second delay that can’t be changed?Secondly, can I use the Sonos Amp running into Wharfedale Eco 4.2 speakers and still use the Sonos Sub in that “Room” or do I have to run the sub cable independently from the amp?I also would love to hear from anyone running a turntable into a Sonos Amp then into p

bonjour a tous puis je connecter un sonos connect amp sur entree locale et faire jouer cette meme musique en groupant un deuxieme connect amp sans latence pour les faires jouer dans la meme piece?

I’m able to get my CD player INTO the port. How do I get output through my receiver to my old non-sonos speakers?

Is it possible to connect Sonos Play 5 gen 1 to Sonos Amp wirelessly.

What is the purpose of the Ethernet port on the arc soundbar and the sub? Currently I have the arc connected via WiFi but I am wondering if Ethernet would be better.  Router is located on the TV console about 18 inches behind the soundbar. Wi-Fi connection shouldn’t be a problem. I do understand that my sub and era300’s connect via WiFi to the arc. 

I have a Sonos Connect:Amp that has been working great until recently. I have read through several similar posts in here and performed some troubleshooting, perhaps the most helpful to highlight is after reconnecting the amp to the app, the light is white. I have no speakers plugged into the amp and I attempt to play music to the amp and it immediately begins to flash white/amber. Any suggestions?

I am buying a WiiM DAC streamer , it has SPDIF and Coaxial outputs but Plybar only has Optical Input. Can I connect the SpDIF Out directly into the Optical input of my Playbar? If no means I Need a CONVERTER? 

Hi, Good morning I am having problem pairing my Sonos play:5 to my audio technica at-lpgo-bt.. I don't know with generation is my play:5

Last week I noticed that 8 of my Sonos devices were incompatible with the Sonos 1 app. Somehow the 8 devices were upgraded to 15.x. I have never installed the Sonos 2 app, so I don’t know how this could have happened.I looked through the community forum and saw that I would need to factory reset these devices, then install the S2 app and downgrade each device. I was able to downgrade all devices except for my two ZP100 devices. The S2 app does not list the ZP100s to downgrade, so now I’m stuck.Any advice on how to downgrade the ZonePlayers? I’m pulling out my hair with all theses steps to get my devices working once again.

I have a turntable with built-in amp. It is connected to a Play5 and sounds fine. I am adding another Play5 and also have 5 Play1’s, 2 Beams and a Move in the house. Not that I will play all speakers for the turntable, but curious to know when do I need to consider adding an Amp or do I even need to if I just play records on the 2 Play5s and maybe the Beam (3 total speakers)?  Thanks!

I have an Era 100 sonos speaker and I am trying to connect it to an Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT turntable. I am having some trouble because I want to connect it with the line-in instead of Bluetooth because I want to connect it to more speakers. I bought an apple 3.5MM audio to USB-C adaptor and just plugged it into the turntable line out section with a standard 3.5MM aux cable. The sonos speaker isnt picking it up. Has anybody had this issue or know how I can get this speaker connected with a line-in connection instead of a bluetooth connection?

I have an Arc and I’d like to be able to connect my non Sonos powered sub and a turntable to it. Would the Port work with the Arc and the turntable relatively flawlessly? 

Hi, I have an Emotiva RMC-1 Processor. I am wondering if the line level passthrough on the Sonos Port works with the RMC-1 processor?

I am about to ressurect my old hifi system (turntable, CD player, amplifier, passive speakers) in one of my rooms. I have Sonos components in the other rooms of the house. I’d like to be able to:continue to play music from my turntable and CD player through my old amplifier and speakers stream music from Sonos to my old amplifier and speakers send music from my turntable and CD player to the Sonos components in other roomsThe amplifier (Mission Cyrus 1) has inputs: phono, CD player, aux, video, tape; and a tape output.Reading around, I think what I need to buy is a Sonos Port, and connect it as follows:Leave turntable and CD player, and passive speakers, connected to amplifier as before Connect Port IN to amplifier tape out Connect Port OUT to amplifier tape inputI then select tape input on the amplifier if I want to stream through my old amplifier and speakers. To send music from turntable or CD player to my other Sonos components, I select the appropriate input on my amplifier, selec

I bought an open box AMP from Best Buy ($576) and a new AMP from Crutchfield ($599 Black Friday). the packaging is different. The crutchfield one is in a brown, newer style package while the open box one is primarily black.looking online it looks like Sonos has made no hardware changes it’s all software.can anyone confirm that I’m good with both of these units? I want the newest hardware and am willing to return the BB open box and spend the additional 25 bucks for another one from crutchfield.thanks in advance 

I recognise I may not even be asking the right question … I have SONOS Play 1 speakers wired in to my home network. Due to the track limit on the SONOS Player app I want to use JRiver on a Windows PC as my media centre (data is on a NAS).For JRiver to play to the SONOS speakers apparently the PC needs to recognise them (or one of them) as audio devices. It can see them as devices on the home network ok, but not as audio devices. Can this be done with just the hardware i already have? To be clear, I don’t need them as the computer speakers - but do want JRiver on the PC to be able to play to them.

Reposted as I originally posted in the wrong group 🙄We currently have 2 x ONE: one in the lounge, one in the kitchen and both grouped. Music is streamed all day as we WFH.We’re thinking of buying a Beam soundbar for the lounge, and using that to listen all day in the lounge and grouped with the kitchen, and then when we watch TV. We’ve not really thought about what to do with the current lounge ONE.When we watch TV, will we need to un-group the lounge Beam and kitchen ONE, or is there a way to set this up so we don’t have to ungroup/group each time we watch TV?We could have the spare ONE in the lounge too, can I set up sub-groups? e.g.Group 1(ALL) > kitchen ONE, Lounge ONE, Lounge BeamGroup 2 (LOUNGE) > Lounge ONE, Lounge BeamAnd still stream music in the kitche whilst watching TV in the lounge?Thanks in advance, hope that I’ve managed to ask this in an understandable way!
