Components & Architectural

I’m not sure if this is intended behaviour or not, but it is really annoying. Whenever I want to share what im currently listening to, I must stop playing on my Sonos speakers and play on my phone momentarily for all my recent scrobbles, including what im currently playing, to be pushed to last.fm. It used to update live, but doesn’t anymore. I’ve done all of the usual stuff - i.e. unlinking  and relinking last.fm and Sonos, Spotify, etc etc 

I just setup my Sonance MAG 6.1 garden series speaker system last. I first tried playing a movie and it seemed to only play the the front L and R sound channels, no audio dialog. The sound was coming from an AppleTV 4K via AirPlay. Next I tried playing music from my iPhone via AirPlay and again part of sound (the voice dialog is missing). Then I tried using the Sonos app Sonos Radio to play music and again the voice is missing. I called Sonance an verified the speaker installation and the it is wired in parallel and all speakers and the subwoofer are working. Anyone have any ideas why I am only get part of the audio program?

Helloi have an amp connected to 4 sets of in ceiling speakers that was working great and now suddenly when I put the volume past 70ish the sounds cuts out. When I unplug the right banana clips I can go up to 100 volume.  I understand this to be a safety feature so the amp doesn’t break beyond repair but I can’t fathom what has happened to the right cables to cause this issue. We had some construction work done and new lights installed but I don’t see how it could be related. Does the community have any ideas what the issue is in the connections/cables to cause this? thanks in advance for the help

Hello, I’ve never used the S1 app, but I’m looking into buying a ZP90. Can I stream Apple and Amazon music on S1? Just looking at getting an audio signal into my old hifi system. It has an optical input, but not coaxial, so I don’t want to get a Port. Thanks

anyone have an idea/fix for a S2 connect amp that won’t stop blinking white. Tried new router tried to reset existing router. tried to re-setup  hold play/+

hello connecting a project E1 turntable with phono preamp, remotely (different room,) using a port a turntable and a connect 2 at stereo then grouping on app Do I need a dac at the connect stereo interface? Also I use tidal to stream from my phone to Sonos connect with no dac? Would a dac improve sound quality from tidal?  Thanks ps receiver is a Yamaha a740

Hello - hopefully a straightforward question. Is the ZP90 compatible with AirPlay 2? The reason I’m looking at one of these is to stream audio to my HiFi as it has both optical and coaxial audio out, where the Port is limited to coaxial only. Thank you

We would like to make it as easy as possible for guests to use the Sonos amp and speakers in their rooms to stream audio from their phones.  The best solution we’ve seen for this in other rental properties is VSSL, where the user simply connects to a bluetooth receiver with the corresponding room name and voila - their iphone audio is streaming through the in-wall / in ceiling speakers. Has anyone attempted to provide an alternate audio source for the TV audio in from their sonos amps, so that alternate sources can be used as the “TV Autoplay” feature in a local room, especially when no TV exists in that room? 

Helloi have an Arc and want to connect my turntable (3.5mm jack) to arc is there any adapter from 3.5 to AirPlay or HDMI (but in this last case I need to double HDMI port because arc is connected to my tv)thanks 

I just installed Sonos Amp with my speakers and a KEF HTB2 subwoofer.I see in the Sonos app I can set the phase to 0 or 180 - and I have a switch on the subwoofer that does the same thing - 0 or 180.I set them both to 0.My question is “why” do I have the same setting via Sonos app and a switch on the sub - and should they be set to the same setting - 0 in my case.

Hello,I’ve hooked up a Denon DP-300F turntable to an RCA → 3.5mm adapter, which in turn goes to the Sonos adapter into the Era 100.When I play a record, it seems as if there’s some strange summing going on that makes it sound out of phase. Almost like it’s playing only one of the L/R channels, but there is some weird EQing as well. If both RCA cables are going into the adapter, it’s very harsh and treble-y. If I remove one of the RCAs from the adapter, it sounds a little better - more bass and low-mids, but still missing vocals, etc.I’ve tried various cables, using the phono built-in eq vs. a preamp, even tried going from phono to bluetooth and connecting that to the speaker - all with the same results.However, when I hook up a different speaker to all of the same components, this doesn’t happen. If I hook up a pair of headphones where the Era 100 would be in the chain, everything seems fine.Every other use of the speaker works as expected.Any ideas?

Hello! I just moved and got a new router. In the process of getting everything hooked up I’m having a line-in problem. My system is Sonos One, Play:3, and Connect - which I have hooked up to my receiver. I have my Connect hooked up exactly the same as it was before but my line in is no longer working. Everything but the connect is working. I get the message in the attached photo when I try to use my line-in. I was on the phone with Sonos for almost an hour last night and couldn’t get the issue solved. All hookups have been checked and double checked for a firm connection so that’s not the issue.   Hoping the community can help! You’ve saved me so many other times!  

Damn.. my connect keep cutting the connection to WiFi, it’s like it has to load to play maybe 1 minute and then load 3 sek again, driving me crazy. all other Sonos work fine, Beam, Move, Ones also. any suggestions?  (WiFi is 550 download and 340 upload at the current room (garage) 

I was listening to Audible all morning over my Sonos and it suddenly disconnected. I went to reconnect and am getting a modal saying, “This content is not currently available to be played on Sonos.” I’ve literally never had an issue playing Audible over my Sonos. What gives? What changed? Zero help from any support from Sonos. Extremely disappointed right now.    

SONOS App version 16.1 (but I’ve seen this on earlier, recent revisions as well)Sonos S2 OSSystem includes SONOS Beam, mini-sub, Sonos One (x2).  The entire system is connected wirelessly.iPhone 12 Pro, IOS 17.3.1 (but I’ve seen this on earlier, recent revisions as well).Summary: My iPhone Sonos App frequently, and arbitrarily loses connection with my Sonos system. It seems very clear that the wifi connection between the APP and wireless network is extremely fragile.  Which is weird because the network is quite stable (it serves two TVs, two laptops, two iPhones, tablets, etc) in all other respects.Symptoms include:After playing for awhile, I’ll glance at the app and notice that it is not showing the currently playing song. On startup, my iPhone reports that it cannot connect to the Sonos system When browsing my music library, it will report that it “cannot browse the library”.  The library is stored on a NAS device on the same network. When this is happening, I am still able to connec

I have a Sonos Connect Gen 2 that is connected to my WiFi along with 4 other Sonos Speakers (2 x Era 100 + 2 x One Gen 1). All but the Sonos Connect seem to be connecting via 5Ghz. The Connect obviously connects via 2.4Ghz.All 5 components are seen and work fine through the Windows Sonos S2 app on a PC hardwired to the network and on a laptop connected to the WiFi. I can group all 5 Sonos devices and use Line-In on connect.However the Connect has disappeared from my my Sonos S2 app on my tablet and Samsung phone. They are all on my 192.168.50.x network. This has all been fine until very recently (may be a S2 app update has caused this issue ?).The output of of the Windows Sonos S2 app Help/About this system is shown below:Associated Product: 192.168.50.93---------------------------------Era 100: Kitchen Sonos (L)Serial Number: ******************Sonos OS: S2Version: 16.1 (build 78151070)Hardware Version: 1.38.1.10-9.1Series ID: A102IP Address: 192.168.50.93WM: 1-------------------------

I have been playing Sonos music to my hot tub via a Sonos Port RCA output that is hard wired through a mini plug at the other end that is plugged into the auxiliary input for the tub JBJ speakers - worked great. But the hot tub motherboard burned out, and the new updated hot tub motherboard will only accept a Bluetooth signal to run the tub speakers (no more hardwiring).Question.  Is there a way to now send a Bluetooth signal to the hot tub speakers through the Sonos Port, or maybe some other way ?

I have just bought the Essential Turntable Set (which includes the turntable, the era 100 and the Line In Adapter). I understand that I will need to get a cable to connect the turntable to the adapter. Which cable should I get? I assume I should get an rca female to 3.5mm male cable. Is this correct? How about the thin wire connection on the left next to the R as we can see on this picture (this is from what i found online) ... 

Buenas, tengo un sonos Connect:Amp y me gustaría saber si en la entrada de audio por cable puedo conectar un televisor o solo puedo conectar equipos de música. Lo he conectado alguna vez y si me funciona, pero me hace un rateo en los altavoces y no se si es un defecto del amplificador. El rateo solo ocurre cuando conecto la entrada de audio por cable. Cuando lo uso de manera inalámbrica me funciona perfectamente. Me podéis ayudar?? Gracias

All of a sudden, my 2 Sonos Ones are not showing up in my Airplay list.  I have not changed anything and they were working fine a couple weeks ago.  I have tried power cycling them.  I have seen this exact issue on multiple boards and the answer is always that it’s “odd”.  How can it be odd if it is obviously happening to people on a fairy consistent basis?  Sounds like a Sonos issue that should be addressed.

Hi all - Ridding our house of Sonos that don’t play nice with S2 controller / app Need to drive 2 outdoor, non-powered speakers  Been using Sonos amp connect zp100 and zp120 Like to use s2 controller  what’s the lowest cost option to drive them but using s2 app /controller over WiFi  Also - have seen the Sonos Connect’s Gen 2 for S2 - looks like RCA jacks on the back. My speakers have regular, old fashioned speaker “wire” thx all - very much  will likely just grab something on the 2nd hand market  much appreciated !!

I’m thinking about replacing my Sonos Connect:AMP (runs with S2) with the newer Sonos Amp.I’m using the connect:amp to power two speakers and a sub - mostly streaming music from a laptop connected to connect:amp via RCA in; and from my media library located on my desktop.  Desktop shared on LAN via ethernet cable, connect:amp via wifi.  (New Orbis router.)Media library consists of ripped CDs in flac - CD quality uncompressed.We are having occastional issues with skipping.I thought I might as well go ahead and update my old connect:amp just to move to more recent tech.  But I’m on the fence.Does anyone know if the wifi antenna in the newer Amp is an improvement over the Connect:AMP?     

I see the spec sheet saying that alexa and google will work with the in-wall and in-ceiling speakers when using the sonos amp. My question goes a little further:Are the listening microphones that support true tune and the alexa/google integration… are those in the speakers themselves?  The reason for the question: If I have a zone in the primary bedroom, the speakers will be in the walls, but the Sonos AMP will live back in the AV closet down the hall… will I need an additional google Nest Mini to act as the voice integration mic for the room OR will the alexa/google integration work directly from the in-wall speakers?

Here's the rephrased scenario:Here's the situation: The Sonos Amp is configured to my WiFi and is functioning smoothly. I'm curious whether the Sonos Amp relies on my phone to continue playing music, especially if I've selected continuous streamers or radio stations that should play uninterrupted.
