I dont know if anyone has ever asked this question here, but i want to know if you can connect a sonos connect gen 2 to studio monitors can you then interact with them in the sonos app that they can stream sound via wlan?I also want my studio monitors stay connected as my PC Output.Is it then possible to stream the sound Output of my PC to my different sonos products?like in both directions?The studio monitors go in an amp and then in my audio interface and i would connect the sonos in between those devices 

I have a ZoneBridge and a ZonePlayer120 hardwired to Sonos speakers. I want to resume using this hardware but I switched my internet to T-Mobile satellite router. I have solid internet coverage throughout my house, and have both a 5G and 2.4G bands. How do I activate the system?

I have a technics SL-1200 MK2 connected to a phono box mm and then into my connect amp. The line level is set to 10, audio compression is set to uncompressed and the cables are tight. The volume is at least half of that of the volume coming out of the sonos when it is playing digital music from spotify. Any suggestions on options to raise the volume? The cartridge on the record player is pretty old craze d5200 sk. Not sure if that is contributing to volume issue. I appreciate any help. thanks. Josh

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.

I am trying to set up YouTube Music on my Sonos. Everything seems to go OK. It has me log into my account. I do so. It gives me a code to authorize my account. I copy/paste the code, and I get a confirmation screen that says, Success! Your device is connected! Then when I go back into Sonos to open the service, I get an error code that says, ERROR unable to re-authorize your account. I have contacted Sonos customer service twice on this issue. Each time they think it’s just a software update or something. But I have never been able to access YouTube music on my Sonos and have been trying on and off for 2+ years. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

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

Hi, all!This very happy -- but recently frustrated -- Sonos user could use your help.My seemingly simple question: How can I effectively add an input for another device to my Sonos amp?My Sonos amp now talks to my TV, a CD player, a pair of wired speakers, and a handful of wireless Sonos 5s throughout the house. This set-up allowed us to preserve beloved old-school elements (speakers and CDs) while letting us listen to music throughout the house without spidering wires everywhere --- and it works beautifully!Then we decided to add a turntable to the mix --- and that’s where things got sorta complicated.We bought a Pro-Ject T1 SB (the kind with a pre-amp). Like a dummy, I assumed we could just plug it into the Sonos amp, just like our CD player. But there isn’t another in-line port to accommodate it. Bummer!Other than occasionally swapping the input RCA cables from the CD player to the turntable and visa versa (a clunky solution, but not the end of the world), does anyone have a suggest

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? 

Trying to layout speakers for home theatre in new construction. Need to know how everything connects.I have never used Sonos. I’m old school AV receiver setup so trying to get my head around thisThis is what I was told for a 7.1 setup.Sonos soundbar connects to HDMI/ARC on tv.Will have 6 architectural speakers. Two in front, two on sides and two in rear. These will connect to Sonos Amp which will connect to Soundbar. I will have 1 Sonos subwoofer which will also connect to Soundbar.Questions I have.Is it ok to place Sonos Amp in a utility room and it will be able to communicate via network (wired) to Soundbar? How will the Amp know what the 6 speakers are? Meaning Front left/right, Side left/right, Rear left/right? Only 4 plugs on back of amp. Will sub connect to soundbar via wifi or do I need to connect to Amp thru Sub port?

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
