I want to play itunes through my sonos play 3 speakers. I attempted to connect itunes to the sonos app on my pc and got this message “ Apple Music must be added to Sonos from an iOS device or Android phone. then listen from anywhere, including Mac, Windows, and Kindle.” I have a IPhone 14. How can I use itunes with Sonos system?

After updating some speakers to a new wifi, my app suddenly won't allow me to add additional speakers saying "incompatible software versions". I'm on V16 (android) which is "up to date". So how do I regain control of my system?

I have a Port (using as my streamer), a turntable, a CD player, and a power amplifier. I want to include a preamplifier in my set-up. How do I make the appropriate connections?

Hello. My Play:1 speakers are connected to my Playbar, and while watching TV, the surround sound cuts out constantly. It mostly does not work, and only works in spurts, intermittently. The sound works fine when playing music via Spotify.I believe this problem has been happening for a while, but after moving to a new place, it seems to be happening much more often, constantly. My Playbar and Play:1 speakers are all connected via wifi to my home network, which uses eero mesh.My diagnostic confirmation number is 1020397049.Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

HiI originally posted this as a response to a community member who wanted to add a turntable (TT) to their home theater with surrounds that have the line-in feature. The community member was/is considering a Port. I later realized that others may be contemplating a similar scenario. In this scenario Era 100’s are used for price parity and end-use versatility.Fact: You can’t connect a TT to surrounds (ie. Era 300’s, Era 100’s nor Fives) as the line-in is disabled Fact: Port is designed to bring Sonos to an existing stereo/amp or receiver setup. Click this link for Sonos marketing. Fact: Port sells for $449-USD Fact: Era 100 x 2 sell for $498-USD Fact: Era 100 x 2 cost only $49 more than a Port Fact: Era 100 x 2 provides full stereo (as a standalone setup) when connected to a TT via line-in to enjoy your vinyl_There’s also the option to add a sub-mini later on. IMO a better value vs Port Fact: A pre-amp for the TT is required with either option (i.e built-in to TT  or 3rd party purchase)

Existe un centro de servicio de Sonos en guadalajara tengo 2 one con bocina voladas y no se donde me las reparen

I powered off my Connect Generation 1 and then reconnected power.  After a while when it would not even boot, I have now factory reset it and it is now stuck with a flashing green mute button.  When trying to add it to my S1 Controller application it finds the unit and identities it correctly; but nothing happens when I press mute and Volume + buttons together to actually connect.  The app times out the connection attempt.Any ideas for a solution would be  uch appreciated.

Hello everybody,I’ve been unable to use my LG magic remote to control my Sonos Playbase for a whole year.I’ve got an LG C7 OLED, a Sonos Playbase and 2 Sonos Play:1s set up for surround. I want to get a Sonos Sub and a couple of Sonos 1s to have around the house, but being unable to control my existing Sonos products with my TV’s remote control is not really inspiring me to spend more. I’ve already spent around 1000 euros for the existing setup as it is. Internal TV speakers just don’t cut it.To this date the only similar topic I have found on this forum is this one by user earplugs: Playbase and LG Magic remote | Sonos CommunityIt was all working fine until about a year ago, when I moved country. Everything remained in storage for a period of time, and I started setting it all up again probably in early July. I remember the TV got a firmware update as soon as I took it online, and since then the TV’s menu options have changed massively. Device Connector on my LG TV is no longer giving

I am doing a large TV room for a client and would like to use an Amp for the ARC function within the TV. However, this is a LARGE room and I would like to do a large 3rd party amp somehow using a speaker to line converter. Any thoughts on this? I tried a basic speaker to line converter on an Amp previously but was unsuccessful. I got very distorted signal regardless of volume level. So,, big room need big power than Amp supplies but want functionality of Audio Return feature of amp, just wish it had 300W per channel!  

Setting up a new outdoor pool and patio speaker set up.   I want to use Sonance SGS 8.1 Garden Series or Sonance - SR1 Sonarray Outdoor Speaker system with a Sonos - Amp 250W 2.1 Amplifier.   Will this work?   Do I have to add any other devices to stream Apply Play through the Amp?   Also, if I want to expand the system can I use the Sonance SGS 4 SAT Pack Garden series and ties directly in this set up? Thanks in advance!

Just a quick and probably obvious question .. I have a old Play 5 gen1 and before I purchase a Proj-ect T1 turntable I want to be sure they are compatible using a cable . Is this a simple thing to setup ? All i have ever done is play Spotify through my Sonos speakers so haven't mixed it up much .  

Hi I just bought my wife a ProJect T1 Phono SB linked to a Sonos 5. When playing a disc at least once per side, the sound reduces drastically  and all I can hear is a low barely amplified sound. It last for a few seconds then resumes. Any ideas? Really irritating. ?Static build up, dust?  Speaker works fine. 

I’ve got a setup with 6 Sonos Connect units in 6 different rooms each of which have an amp and speakers connected to them via optical output connection. All are wirelessly connected to each other with just one unit connected via ethernet to my home network for direct internet access. Which then relays that access via Sonos’ own wireless network between units. Max distance between any of the units is 20ft or less. Everything has always worked flawlessly when playing something in any one room using the Sonos S1 app and a streaming service. However whenever I try to group 2 or more rooms to play the same audio regardless of the streaming service all the rooms are out of sync by as little as half a second to as much as a second or more. How can I get the whole house to play the same music in unison and all synced up? Nothing in the app allows for delay adjustment when streaming. Only for using line-in which doesn't help me. Only thing I can think of is having to hard wire each unit and dis

Evening All, I have been trying to set up my new turntable and new Era 100.I bought a generic 3.5mm to USB-C adaptor. Can’t get any sound out of the Era 100, nor see any options under Line In. Removing that adaptor and connecting the 3.5mm to the back of a Sonos 5 gen 2 get everything working. For layout purposes I’d still prefer to connect via the Era 100. Is it likely to be my adaptor or some settings option I haven’t noticed in the app or on the deck?  

Hello,  I am looking to connect my vinyl to my Sonos system.  I have a Project Essential III turntable with built in Line OUT with integrated preamplifier.   I have ordered an Era 100  and the official SONOS Line in / USB C  adapter.    Am i right in thinking that all i need now is an RCA to 3.5mm cable to connect the turntable to the Sonos USB C adaptor?     If so, can anyone recommend a good one?   Happy to spend £10- 20 on it ,  maybe a bit more if its going to make a big difference.Thanks in advance.  

I just got a Sonos One (Gen 2) after reading that Airplay was finally working well with it. I was hoping to use it as my speaker when streaming video from my MacBook Pro, but have been hounded by audio issues–even with it connected via Ethernet to my Airport. The audio cuts out if paused for more than a few seconds. The easiest fix has been to go to Volume in the Menu Bar, switch the output device to something else and then back to Sonos. It's a pain to have to do this over and over. The audio comes back without much delay. I noticed that there is a substantial delay when I go to unpause music that's been paused for a bit as well, but not as bad as when unpausing Netflix or Youtube. The audio also cuts out in minute drops every now and then, which probably just comes from AirPlay sucking up my shitty wifi's bandwidth as I've read in other posts. Given all the other unresolved issues I have read about and the hassle that was setting this up over the phone since the app's automated set

I have an extra Sonos amp laying around and was wondering if it’s possible to make 2 zones out of the 6.1 package?Zone 1: 4 speakers and subwoofer around poolZone 2: 2 speakers for firepit no subwoofer.  Would the speakers still sound good without having no sub on this zone?

I’m having trouble with my Connect amp.the music keeps cutting in and out.recently, I left it unplugged for a day then plugged it back in and it worked fine for two day, and then it went back to intermittent.it surely can’t be Wi-Fi signal. It is less than 10 feet away from my broadband box with two standard brick walled in between.just below the connect amp is our back TV which is connected to SKY a stream mini box and the picture never wavers, even when the Connect Amp is playing intermittently.any suggestions for a fix gratefully received.if not, my wife says it’s going in the bin!bob.    

I have a Connect Amp connected to my setup through WiFi. I have a problem playing BBC through this device, it keeps cutting out. I use BBC Sounds, and this is the only radio I have problems with, everything else plays properly. Because of this it can’t be the device or set-up, so what is the problem?

I currently have an older Sonos surround system .. soundbar, sub and play 3’s & 1’s. I also have a Connect that I use as a passthrough to a Pair of Devialet Phantoms (Turntable→valve phono-preamp→Connect->optical out->Devialet Phantoms).I’ve just ordered the new Arc, Sub and Era 300 system and was about to click buy on the Port when I realised it doesn’t have an optical output :O I’m feeling suddenly snookered .. what can to do?I don’t want to replace the Connect with a Devialet Arch because I’ll lose the ability to also play vinyl through the Sonos system .. not to mention the trigger automation I’ve configured from the Connect to Phantoms that makes life extremely simple.I don’t even know how to tell what Generation my Connect is.Kev.  

kind of spooky...

Solution: 3 Amps, 1 Connect Amp, 2x Sonos Ones.All Amps are wired in.Recent Problems:One Amp drops out for about the last 10 seconds of each track.One Amp occasionally drops out for a period of timeThis started, then stopped for a while but has now started again.Any ideas as this is very frustrating

I just received my Pro-Ject Turntable today and hooked it up as described.  I plugged into my Play:5 which I had set up as a stereo pair.  The speaker that the wire was NOT plugged into played while the speaker that had the wire into it was silent (save for a hum.  There are two ground wires on the cable that came with the turntable and I’m plugging directly into the Sonos so I didn’t know what to do with that extra ground plug.  The phono stage on the turntable is set to line out and now nothing is playing.  Not sure what’s wrong.  I have another Pro-Ject DC Carbon hooked up to a regular receiver and speaker set with its own preamp and it plays perfectly… HELP! 

I am trying to connect a Sonos Port to my existing Sonos system. I have the line out going to a Sony receiver and the line in coming from a turntable that does not have a preamp. The turntable sounds is low coming out of my Sonos speakers and I can’t adjust it from the app or the receiver? Any thoughts?
