I have an older Yamaha Audio Receiver and a couple of Boston Acoustic speakers I want to use for my office.Can I use an older S1 connect to plug into the receiver and run my music from Spotify. I am using S2 throughout the house to run all my other Sonos Gen 2 speakers. I would be listening to these 2 system separately. S1 for the home office and S2 for the house an outside.Long winded but will the S1 system work for the office setup?ThanksM

On the Sonos website https://support.sonos.com/de-de/products/connect il looks like the connect should support the S2 app.I have an existing S2 system on my network and the S2 app suggests setting up the connection which is green blinking. But when I press the option in the S2 App it tells me that I should downgrade to S1 to connect it with my system.What can I do to connect the Connect with my S2 system or am I misinterpreting the symbols on the Sonos website.Thanks

Bonjour,J’aimerais me faire un coin HI FI (25 m2) avec platine, cd, … J’étais parti sur des enceintes passives avec sonos amp. Après réflexion je vais aller vers 2 enceintes sonos en stéréo … Jhésite entre 2 fives ou 2 era 300 … Des conseils ?Merci d’avance Ps: Je suis déjà détenteur d’une Arc, 2 ones et 1 sub en HC.

I have two Klipsch 8 ohm ceiling speakers.  I have a Sonos amp but already have four non Sonos floor speakers connected to it.  Is there a way to add the Klipsch speakers to the Sonos system?  Thanks.

Hi, i am looking at upgrading my basement speaker set up. Currently only using (2) Costway Dual 10” 1600W powered controlled speakers mostly streaming through bluetooth. I am wondering how I can install (4) ceiling mount speakers that go to a sonos amp and then play with the existing 10” speakers. I’ve read about using the “line in” on the sonos amp to my speakers, would that connect all of them and play at the same time or is that too much on the sonos amp? The 10” speakers are currently plugged into a 110V outlet. Link to the speakers below. Appreciate any help!10" Speakers

Hi!I have seen this issue here multiple times, but I so far I did not found a solution:My new Sonos Amp does not switch to Sonos Net (wm 0). It always stays on wm 1. And causes then problems when beeing in the same group as the other, wm 0 devices - at least I think this is the reason why I have dropouts and unreachable sonos systems ;) As long as the Amp its on its own, every thing seems fine.So: Any idea about how I can convince the Amp to switch? WifI signal is ok there. But I am no Sonos Techi to know what else I can do/switch/toggle… 

Hi! Bought a Pro-ject T1 turntable and Sonos five for Christmas. Set up and was working fine, then just stopped playing. Record still spinning, we jiggled cords, static, came on a bit again, then no sound out of sonos. We can hear it faintly from the record player but nothing from sonos. Turntable is set to line out. If we switch to phono out it plays through the sonos but quietly and with static. Sonos streams fine. We disconnected and reconnected everything, reset the sonos. Still just a faint sound from the turntable and nothing coming from sonos. Help!

The only Sonos device I have is a Symfonisk.I want to buy a turntable, but can’t find how I can have it play on my Symfonisk.I’d rather not have to buy a 500$ device to ensure connectivity…Any simple solution?Thanks

I purchased a Fisher 36 that was made in 1972. It is a phenomenal multi changer stereo that works great. The person I purchased it from said it could connect via RCA to a Sonos connect or something and I would be able to listen to records that way. I tried this and it did not work. Was wondering if others have been able to do this and maybe the connect is not what I should use?Thank you for any help you can offer. Mike 

Connect refuses to connect.Then after some minutes is does then fails again. My 3 sonos 1’s are fine. Not impacted. WTF

Looking at buying a Sonos Port to link with my old Technics stack HiFi system incorporating a Technics SU-X520D amplifier.Specifically wanting to do two things:1. Stream vinyl from my turntable which connects to the amp via phono sockets to my Sonos system (Arc soundboard with 2 SL1 surround speakers and 2 standalone Sonos One and 2 standalone SL1 speakers.2. Stream music from my computer via Airplay through the Technics system. My understanding of the advice in the posts in the Community is to hook up the tape deck Out / In jacks to the Port In /Out connections. That is fine, happy to do that, but as the tape deck is currently hooked up to the amp, I wondered if there were other possibilities? I have DAT Record Out sockets;VCR Out and In socketsVDP one set of (unspecified) sockets.There is also a set of External Out / In sockets, but these are currently hooked up to the Graphic Equaliser.In addition, there is an Auxiliary Digital-In socket which, presumably, I could connect to the Por

I bought a Sonos Port so I could play music though my KEF LS50s and Sonos Arc simultaneously. I was told before purchase that hardwiring the KEFS via RCA wires would work, but after spending 1.5 hours on the phone with tech support we couldn’t connect the KEFs to the Sonos App. We set the KEFS to auxillary, plus I tried all other settings afterwards, with no success. The Port is refurbished and I am wondering if that is the problem. The tech said that I needed to buy an optical converter since optical worked before with a Sonos Connect. A good converter costs more than 150.00 and I really want to see if I can avoid spending money on yet another purchase. What am I missing? What am I doing wrong? All advice welcome. Thanks!!!!

Why can't I connect a Sub over Wifi to a Sonos Amp and hear audio.  The Sub needs to be located 25 metres from the Sonos amp which is in a rack with 11 other Amps all connected by ethernet.  The support team tell me my Sub either needs to be close to the Amp (less than 15ft) or connected to my network by ethernet cable.  If it will work connected by ethernet cable, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't also work over WiFi.  Seems pretty poor to me.  Disappointed.

Works even better since Sonos added support for DTS 🥳 Now instead of using that unreliable Sound Blaster Dolby Digital Live implementation I can use my Asus motherboard built-in DTS Connect. Audio volume can be controlled from the PC and the audio stream stops when no audio is played which causes the Playbar to shutdown audio too after about 5 mn. I can hear it when the white noise stops.

Hello, I'm looking for advice on my whole home Sonos system (Boost ,((Amp w/ 2 sets of in-wall mounted Bose Virtually Invisible 191 speakers)),1x Play 1, 2x Play 3, 2x Play 5, Playbar on 75” Sony LED, Beam on Sony 65” LED and 1x Play 5 hooked into a Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT.) The record player is always lower than the other speakers on group play. I'm on Xfinity  2G speed internet service running about 1.8G regularly. How can hook this all up to run effectively and sound amazing. The Bose lines all run to a lower level closet where the AMP is picking both sets up, so I cannot change volume between those 2 sets. thanks 

Hi! The Sonos system at my parents house is giving them a lot of trouble. They have a fairly big system, consisting of two Play:1 zones, two One zones, two Connect:Amp zones, and one Playbar zone. Each zone consists of a standalone speaker, with no stereo pairing or Subs involved. In particular, the Connect:Amp devices are intermittently dropping audio for about 5 to 10 seconds at a time, several times a day. Sometimes the audio in these zones stop altogether and they need to power the devices off and on to get them working. The problem only exhibits itself when listening to live radio via BBC Sounds or TuneIn. They haven’t had any issues when listening to Spotify or Apple Music, but they mostly listen to live radio so they can’t say for sure whether other services would be impacted if they used them more often. They previously had a Sonosnet connection using a BOOST wired to their BT Smarthub 2 router and had similar issues. I switched them over to WiFi and it has made very little dif

I’m a newbie at this. There’s a grey noise coming out of the Era 300 when connected to my turntable.my setup is a Pro-ject Debut 3 turntable connected to a NAD preamp on phono.the record sound is very low and theres a loud grey sound as soon as i connect my jack to the Era 300.has anyone had this issue? thanks!

So, I have a pair of klipsch aw650s, that I put up outside for summer time. Currently they are inside though, with Sonos AMP connected to the TV, sub, and sonos ones. In this room, right now, I have sub, two fives, two ones, and the klipsch speakers. While sub is good for tv, I want something better for music, I am thinking svs pb3000. I would like to sell the fives and sub, they aren't as loud as the klipsch and I like the sound of the klipsch better. With that said, I would like to get a third party amp, a port, and two new inside speakers. The speakers will be hooked up to the tv with AMP, and the new sub. But I want the port and new amp to power the outdoor speakers when they get hung back up outside. Or the inside speakers I don't really care. I have run wiring for an amp to power the speakers outside, through an exterior wall. I am looking for third party stuff, as $700 for AMP seems like a lot. Any suggestions on speakers to connect to AMP and the tv? And suggestions on an amp t

Hi!I hope someone can help me with their own experience or knowledge.I’m already using Sonos in two different configurations :A pair of stereo Play:1 in one room, A home cinema with a Ray and two Era 100 in another. I control them both with the Sonos App.I want to play my vinyl records on the Sonos speakers, using a Sonos Port (I’ve already got a vinyl turntable and a Pioneer amp), and I still want to be sure of two things before I buy the Port.My questions are :When I want to switch from the home cinema setup to the Port playing the vinyls, will it be smooth enough, I mean without having to redo my home cinema setup every time ? Does the Sonos Port allow me to broadcast the vinyl music to all my system, including the pair of Play:1 and the pair of Era 100 ?Many thanks for your help !Cheers,Cédric

I want to connect a Sonos port to my existing AVR. I want what I'm watching on the home theater to be able to stream to my two other zones connected by Sonos amps. I also what whatever music I'm streaming in those zones to be able to play back in my home theater as well. So can I use the loop out on my AVR to connect to the inputs on the port and the Output on the port to plug into one of the inputs on the AVR?

I have a new Sony STR AN 1000 AVR with a “works with SONOS” designation.  No matter what I do, I can’t get it to work with my SONOS Connect.  Do I have to buy a $500 SONOS port to be able to turn on the receiver with the sonos app?  Is it incompatible with the Connect or am I doing something wrong.  If it won’t work with this older technology I’d like to know so I can stop beating my head against the wall...

im adding a port to existing system, my app see it and begins the add process, I enter the port pin and the blue join light never starts blinking and even pushing it anyway doesn't allow the process to move forward 

My port can't get power. I've tried several different power cords and the port fails to light up. Any ideas on the source of the problem?
