Diagnostic # 1979963598My beam just started going down to mute out of no where. I tried turning off the touch controls and disconnecting from google assistant, which didn’t work. Also the tv says the beam is muted. I can turn up the volume using the remote or the app. If I’m lucky it will only drop a few points. But if I try to adjust it, it goes back down to mute. any advice on how to fix this?

Currently have a Rega turntable with Rega Phono Mini connected to a Play 5 Line in using RCA cablesi want to add a CD player to the set up (either with integrated amp or a separate amp)Can anyone suggest the best way to do this - do I go down the RCA switch route (2 in - Turntable and CD player 1 out - to Play 5 ) or is there a better way of connecting to the 5  

I’m looking to buy a bluetooth turntable with built-in pre-amp. I’m looking for a lower-cost solution than buying the Sonos Amp (for now), and I have a 3-part question: 1) I realize that I need to connect the turntable to a Sonos speaker with a line-in port. I’m thinking of buying an Era100 for this. But I want to make sure that I would also be able to pipe the music from the turntable throughout the whole house by grouping the Era100 with my other speakers. Can someone confirm that’s possible? 2) I have a Roam speaker. If I instead connected the turntable via Bluetooth to the Roam (instead of buying an Era100), could I also group the Roam with the other speakers in the house so I can hear the music in other rooms? 3) I have the Arc + Sub in our media room. Could I also group those into the speaker set where I’m playing music from the turntable, or is that not possible or practical? As you can probably tell, one of my priorities is to be able to easily listen to vinyl anywhere around t

How to connect receiver that I has now to here cds, tapes radio to a Sonos port?  Do I need to connect to the place where the wired speakers are now?

I would like to set up surround sound as well as full mono for music with an existing setup if possible. I have hardwired with 12/4 gauge wire at the four corners of a rectangular pool with rock speakers  from Niles Audio Rs8si (now known as proficient audio). I have two amps and a Sonos arc (arc used as center) at the small end of pool on porch. is it possible to switch back and forth from surround sound and then mono and or stereo mode for music.  other than red black wiring only is there a better way to wire up?  when I called Proficient/Niles the senior service engineer t sent me a mapping of the wires to allow for greater dispersion with surround. but not sure if it’s compatible with Sonos amp My installer says I had to choose between mono and surround     

We are a bar/cafe. We have 2 Sonos Ones mounted high up (we need a ladder to reach them if that's useful to know) from which we play Spotify through our wifi connection, from an iPad mounted to the bar.We now want to set up a (preferably Audio Technica) turntable to play vinyl records. It's important that we're able to switch between the turntable and Spotify seamlessly and we want to avoid the cost/clutter of wires. Is there any way to connect a turntable, wirelessly, to our existing Sonos setup? I’ve read that we can use a Sonos Port or a Sonos Roam but I want to make sure its easy to switch between Spotify and Vinyl.Thank you for your help.

I needed a way to connect my turntable to my speakers and purchased a Connect Amp in 2015. After Sonos made it useless with a forced system upgrade I purchased an Amp in 2020 and was able to connect it to my wife's Sonos One. We moved last year and I recently tried to set it up again, but now Amp will not connect to Sonos One. Setup wants hard-wired speakers and only offers Sonos One as surrounds. Is this another software downgrade to force me to buy a new system?

Novice here on tech details on Sonos System and need help with what I need to do to add a turntable to our system. What we have: Hard-wired (non-Sonos) in wall speakers spread through 3 levels of residential home. They are connected to our internet with Sonos ports and an amp of some sort (not sure it’s a Sonos amp, but that might be there too). 10-15 speakers. The wiring has been run to a utility room where our internet and all the Sonos components are centralized (the brain so to speak). What I want to do: Add a turntable (either Pro-ject or similar with built-in amp) to our living room. Question: How do I add this turntable to our existing system so that the records play over our wired speakers (and their various groupings on the app)?-Do I need a Port (does that speak wirelessly to our existing system?), or an Amp (trying not to duplicate components we already own), or would and Era 100 speaker plugged into the turntable communicate wirelessly with our system in the utility room?An

Bonjour,Il m'arrive de regarder des vidéos sur Youtube et j’aimerais bien pouvoir me servir de sonos comme relai son voix musique.

Hi,It was my wife’s bday yesterday and I she wanted a record player system. So I brought the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable2 Room set with Era 100Sonos Line in AdapterI spent yesterday evening setting the system up while my wife excitedly went to get a number of albums from the record store. I think I spent just under $1000 which was a big chunk of money.As soon as I turn the record player on we get a massive hum. I have tried all the settings, unplugging and plugging the system. Probably around 3 hours of trouble shooting last night following posts and reviews. You can hardly hear the music on the speakers over the loud hum and it is very annoying.I’m now reaching out the community for help. I’m at my wits end and my wife was understandably very upset we didn’t get a differet record player and speaker set.Anything else I should try? I’ve tried attaching the grounding wire and this does not work or make a difference. I’ve tried multiple settings in the app leading to a very quiet hum w

Hi folks. my Dad has an old B&O Beomaster 901 amp and turntable. I’m hoping someone here might be able to advise how to get it playing through his Sonos Move and Beam 2. Does he need Sonos Amp, or Port? Or a different speaker? I’m attaching photos of the back of his amp to show what the inputs are. It’s from 1975 so pretty dated - still sounds great though! I’ve a feeling the speaker connections might be an issue. Any help much appreciated!   

Hi! We're looking to install 6x outdoor speakers in the ceiling in an outdoor seeting area. We want to have these speakers amplified with three Sonos amps in one “room” with a third party subwoofer an amplifier. I heard that it's not possible to have more than two Sonos amps in one “room” configuration (so used as three stereo pairs together). Is this correct?

I currently have a HEOS/Denon system that’s connected to Wifi and with 4 hardwired speakers and a Sub that is connected wirelessly (not sure how they did that. Pro install), in my outdoor patio.  I intend to keep the hardwired speakers and use a sonos sub. Anyway, I don’t like a wifi system.  I want to be able to play or have guests play their favorites channels via bluetooth rather than getting on my wifi system.What do I need to accomplish this?

I have a Sonos Connect:Amp.it is about 7 years old.it has started to play up, cutting out frequently. This happens every three/four days.to fix this, I have to switch it off overnight after which it works fine again for a while.at the moment, I switch it off and pull the plug every night and all is fine.however, this is a new thing so not how unit should work.has anybody had anything similar?FYI if I play through Alexa at the same time there are no breaks in the music, which suggests to me it is not the Router or anything upstream.I begin to think the unit is overheating. Letting it “cool down” seems to be the fix.Any thoughts greatly appreciated!bob. Moderator edit: changed Sonos Amp to Sonos Connect:Amp for accuracy

All of my TV sound is piped into sonos amps so I am able to play my TV sound in all speakers in my house. I wanted to connect a mixer through the sonos port and into the amp so I could sing vocals with wireless mics into the sound board, and combine the sound from the TV and the mixer. Is that possible? 

Is it okay to connect two powered base speakers to the amp using a splitter on the amp's base output jack?

Possible a slightly quirky setup question, but I’ll ask anyway. Apologies that this relates to my other question, but I feel it warrants a sepaarte topic. EDIT: Please ignore! I just realised that wiring in series is not recommended, so that rules out me adding another pair as I had hoped. I have a Sonos Amp driving a pair of Monitor Audio C180 (https://www.monitoraudio.com/en/product-ranges/basics/c180/). These are 6 ohm. I want to add another pair of speakers at the other end of the room. The ones I am looking at are 8 ohm. Should I be able to safely drive both sets of speakers off the same amp, with the wiring being fed Amp > C180 (6 ohm) > new speakers (8 ohm) ? My knowledge around resistance etc is poor.If the above is not recommended, would it be better if I bought 6 ohm speakers so that all four were 6 ohm?Many thanks Jim

I have multiple rooms with speakers wired to Sonos Amps. I also have a playbar. When listening to Amazon music, Spotify, apple music, and Sirius XM the music continues playing on the playbar without fail, but comes and goes regularly in the rooms that are wired to the Amps. The amps are Ethernet wired to my router, and the playbar is wired to the amp as well. Can someone help suggest a fix for why the amp would stop playing to wired speakers, but continue playing to the sound bar?
