Hi, I have a connect:amp, and a bunch of ones and play3s.  The amp is 4 years old, and recently started losing connection. I've followed the instructions and it reconnects.  My google wifi shows 'great connection' to the amp.  Is the amp starting to fail, or is this a software issue? is there anything I can check?  the play3s are on the same access point, but a little closer (none are more than ~30 feet), and haven't had the problem. Thanks

I have a Port, Sub, Beam and two One’s.  Port is connected via cable.  Everything else is WiFi.The Port gets “lost” on a regular basis and has to be found.  Quite annoying.When opening the app wouldn’t it be good if both devices (Beam, Port) showed up on the Home Screen for regulating volume, etc.The UI for selecting music is clunky.   I believe selecting the device then the source/device would be more intuitive rather then the opposite.Regards.

Hello,I have a Sonos amp that I would like to use the RCA Sub output to connect to a 3rd party powered Amp. I would like to split the signal and feed 2 discreet inputs and feed the subs independently with the same signal. Will this work with this setup considering the low pass filter on the Sonos amp when the connection is detected? Thanks 

I am trying to setup Alexa to control my AMP's.  But the AMP's report back to alexa that they are controlling a TV.    Even when there is no HDMI cable plugged in and the setting for the AMP has "TV Autoplay" turned off.  Is there any way to get the AMPs to NOT report an attached TV?

This is a pre-sale question.I have a Denon AVR-X520BT amp connected to an Apple TV 4K and LG laser projector.I have all this in the back of the room and at 6 m I have the projector screen, I wanted to put a SONOS sound system, but my question is how to connect it to the system, since the sound bar could not connect it to the amplifier or to the Apple TV, I understand that the only way would be via Wi-Fi, is there another way to do it?

Anyone successfully hooked up A-series Emotiva Amp(s) to multi-room Sonos Ports?

Using Sonos Connect as a streamer (digital output) in a DAC amp, why can't I play 96 khz files ?My DAC can easily convert this file format but Sonos Controller tells me it’s not possible ….

Was enjoying music on several zones, via old connect:amp, and hooked up newer connect in pool house for spring; did an update to pool house connect and now no connect:amps or Play 5 are showing up in Sonos S1 controller.  I have S2 on my phone to control music at other locations but use S1 at home.

I'd like to be able to EQ my turntable and have it set differently than the normal EQ settings I have going through my beam 2 and surrounds while watching TV or streaming music.My first issue is that when I add the Connect to the TV room it creates a separate TV Room 2. I'd like to just add it to the existing room but it doesn't seem possible.When music is playing via turntable to connect to tv room setup, the EQ with the Connect doesn't do anything for the sound. It is only when I go to the speakers playing the music, tv room, I can change EQ settings. Id like to just have something set for the turntable as it needs a little more bass and don't want to have to change EQ settings when switching back to TV. Basically TV Room 2 EQ doesn't work at all.Can I just add the connect to the TV Room?Can I have a separate EQ setting just for the connect/turntable only, that will play music in my TV room setup?My setup is aTV RoomBeam Gen 2Surrounds SL gen 2TV Room 2Turntable into Sonos Connect Ge

Interested if others have experienced problems with grouping speakers and Sonosnet I have 3 Rooms with Stereo Speakers + Sub (2 with S1+Sub, 1 with S5+sub).  Another 2 rooms with single Play 1’s.  Speakers are initially on Sonosnet via a Boost. When I group all speakers to the S5+Sub room and Music has started, I then advance to the next song.  The S5+Sub plays new song fairly quickly, but the  2 S1+sub rooms start and stop playing intermittently.  Sometime L or R only.  After about 1-1.5min, all speakers are playing as expected in the group.  Advance to next song same problem repeats.  If I wait till the song end and then normal advance to next song, all speakers generally are in sync fairly quickly. (Diagnostic 857677570 whilst sputtering sounds (eg. L then R then ..., then no audio, then L then eventually all speakers playing), then Diagnostic 1865270988 when sound is stable - in case Sonos are watching) Disconnect Sonos and wait till all speakers are on local WiFi.Start a group ses

I currently own a Sonos Amp Gen 2 and the Sonos by Sonance speaker pair (OUTDRWW1). I’m now going to be installing a new cedar ceiling on my outdoor porch and thought it is a good time to see if an upgrade is in order. I see there are these new MAG Sonance speakers:https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sonance-mago6sysv3-mag-series-2-0-ch-outdoor-speaker-system-powered-by-sonos-each-paintable-white/6438662.p?skuId=6438662 As well as these in-ceiling speakers by Sonance:https://www.sonos.com/en-ca/shop/ceiling-speaker-pair?gclid=CjwKCAjwitShBhA6EiwAq3RqA-5GNADYZzhh45rIOWrWBUWnxwbJdAQ-F67qLYPP4ngIcDSvyJLNOxoC1-oQAvD_BwE&utm_medium=cpc&gclsrc=aw.ds&utm_term=PRODUCT_GROUP&utm_content=GGL_CA_EN_SONOS_B_PLA_SHOPPING_SMART-ALL_360i&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=GGL_CA_EN_SONOS_B_PLA_SHOPPING_SMART-ALL_360iI’m even open to installing four of the in-ceiling ones spread over the porch ceiling instead of just two.Would that provide a further sonic improvement? I think I read that

My ZP90 keeps flashing white and does not show up in S1 anymore.  I had run an update which completed downloading to the unit but got stuck at unit "restart" with light flashing white for a few days.  I tried plugging off and on and tried reset by holding the mute button but light just keeps flashing as soon as I plug in power.  Is there anything else I should do?  Thanks!

So I have my new Sonos/Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable set up through Connect. Line -In Autoplay set to play when the needle drops, to the correct room, etc.  My problem is, sometimes Autoplay doesn’t Autoplay. There is no sound coming through speakers. I have to push Play/Pause on the Connect and then I hear.Also, sometimes when all is good and I group rooms, it goes back to silent and I have to push Play/Pause again to get sound.Play/Pause is not a button I use or want to use. It’s just the only thing that fixes this.Any idea why I’m getting the silence? Is something triggering pause? Why doesn’t Autoplay work all the time? I’m also getting slips in the grouped rooms. Any advice on this?Why can’t this just work? Is Connect just too old a technology?Thanks guys.    

Can I get a wireless guitar system to connect directly to my Sonos amp?

I have in ceiling sonance c6r speakers (max 85watt, 8 ohm) in my house. My main room is set up for 5.1 with a speaker above my TV but are currently connected to a Sonos amp which I have recently connected to my TV. The center speaker is not currently added to the amp.Is it possible to add the center speaker to this amp without breaking it?

The original system was the Bose Built Invisible that had the sub woofer and rear speakers built into the wall.  It had a separate amp for all the speakers that is no longer working. Want to add an Arc with two amplifiers (one for the rears and one for the sub) for the home theater room.Will the set up in the Amp allow for a stand alone sub woofer only.  Trying to do this without having to get a separate power amplifier to use the sub output.       

HelloI have recently purchased a Cambridge Audio AXA35 to go with my setup. Setup consists of:2x Sonos One SLsSonos PortSony PS-LX310BT turntable I want to play vinyl on my turntable through my Sonos speakers and be able to control the volume and settings through the Cambridge Audio AXA35. However I cannot figure out the optimum way of connecting all the various components to achieve what I want. I have the phono outputs from the turntable and an analogue RCA cable currently. I am able to get sound by connecting the turntable output to the amplifier phono inputs, with the turntable set to “Phono". And then connecting the REC out to the In ports on the Sonos Port. However even with the line out set to “fixed" in the Sonos app I can still control the volume in the app and the volume controls and settings on the amp don't do anything.I am not the most AV minded so grateful if someone could possibly advise where I'm going wrong… Thanks

My understanding, the Port has no onboard volume control. Is there a way to rig and external knob or something to do so? How to?

HiAnyone knows hos to wire up an old Connect Gen 1 to a set of BeoLab 2500 Active Loudspeakers.Each speaker can only have a black 5 pin round connecter for input and I don´t know how to get from this to the white and red female single pin connecter socket on the Connect Gen 1.I guess I need some kind of special cable for this and hope someone can help me figure out what I need to buy ?Would this setup even work for streaming music from my Sonos 1 App ?/Lars

I have an entirely new Sonos system throughout my home and have the black Sonos amps in one room I want to use my old S1 subwoofer would these two be compatible?

I have 4 Connects powering third party (in ceiling) speakers in four zones via a third party multi-zone amplifier.  I also have a Playbar, Sub and Play:3.  All are running on the S1 app.My third party multi-zone amplifier died and I am upgrading from the Connects to Amps, and then to run the Amps, Playbar, Sub and Play:3 on the S2 app.I have the Amps and I’m looking for guidance/instructions on the process for executing the upgrades, i.e. removing the Connects, installing the Amps, and getting them all running (along with the Playbar, Sub and Play:3) on the S2 app.Thanks...

Hi all, I wonder if you can help. I have a planar p1 record deck (into a preamp) and a marantz cd6007 going into an rca splitter, then the output goes to a port and then to all my other sonos speakers.  The output from the vinyl sounds great but the output from the cd player sounds ghastly - muffled and distorted.  I have swapped the connections over to every different combination but nothing changes.  Some of my CD’s sound good but the majority are not up to the job.  The CD player is new (the output from the headphone socket on the player is absolutely brilliant, so no problems there).  Do you think that I need a separate amplifier in between the CD player and the Port, or is there something darker afoot?

Hi All, can you help.am I correct in saying a 16 ohm speaker can be used on each side of the amplifier either as a pair or as a 4.for example 2 speakers on the left channel and 2 on the right channel? how ever I cant have 3 due to the imbalance in ohms being around 5 ohms? thanks 

If I bought an old Gen 1 sonos connect and connected to the 3.5mm audio out on my epson eh-tw7000, could I then send that audio wirelessly to a Gen 1 sonos beam?  

I have a Beam connected to the router via ethernet and I also got 2 Ones and an Arc that is supposedly connected wirelessly via Sonosnet. The Arc and one of the Ones is being report as “Wired” on my router and that is correct. But the other One is being reported as “Wifi 2.4” and that is incorrect. I already removed the wifi credentials on the app, so I don’t how this One is connected via Wifi. And this One would often disconnect and I would get that error (RS+?) on the app.How do I finally get this Sonos One on Sonosnet? Again, it already says WM:0 on the app, but I am pretty sure it is not because it says “Wifi 2.4” on the router and also because this is the only speaker that disconnects occasionally.
