I dont know 100% what the amp is for . Recently my aunt passed away she had a Sonos connect amp and no other speakers except the ones in the wall . While packing her stuff a grabbed the amp  what can I do with it

I have a solid HiFi system for my vinyl and CDs- NAD amp + Magnepans + RHLabs Sub but I am contemplating downsizing to getting a Sonos Port and running these audio sources through my Sonos system (Arc + Sub mini+ 2 Eras 100 surrounds). The audio sound space through the Sonos system (streaming) is so good that it is motivating me to downsize (and my wife would love to lose the gigantic Maggies from our living room). Would the best path be to get a Sonos Port and use the line outs from my NAD receiver to direct sources to the Port? Would I be able to direct a CD or TT source to my Sonos Arc+ Sub Mini+ Eras surrounds system? (I have an external Preamp for my TT). Thanks in advance.

I have 2 Connect devices (one is located upstairs and the other is downstairs).  I have a CD / SACD / DVD / Blu-Ray player that I would like to connect to my Sonos so that I can listen to my CD / SACD throughout the house.

Wondering if it’s possible to use the optimize speakers option with non-Sonos in ceiling speakers and a Sonos amp.the speakers play the high pitched sound, but the app doesn’t pick the speakers up. Fails in multiple rooms. I was reading there as an update many months ago to fix a bug, but I am using the latest app and the amps are all updated.

I’m trying to reset a Connect S1 to Factory Settings so I can use it as an addition to my existing system!! Followed the directions and I’m only getting a flashing white LED alternating with a flashing Green mute button!!

This turntable is new but the rotation speeds (33 & 45) are not correct and the music/songs are really bad… What to do as there is no possibility of adjustment except changing the belt ? 

I have a system that has two ports; each controls a different area. Currently, neither port has a hard (i.e., RCA) input as it plays only via Spotify. Is there a way to bridge the two ports if I hook up an audio device (e.g., turntable or wireless audio receiver) to the RCA inputs of one port? I want to hook up the audio device but still have the signal play through both ports so it can be heard in both areas. Thank you in advance for any insights and help. 

While setting up the Rega Planar 3 RS through a Music Hall Mini Plus Phono Preamp, I notice a rumble and it seems to be coming from the input wire from the Sonos Play:5. Question - is the solution a different preamp or different wires? Thanks. 

Hello, my system is Beam Gen 2 with a pair of One SL's as a stereo pair with a mini sub. Also a standalone One. Recently added an Era 100.I can connect my turntable ( which has a pre amp) via Bluetooth to the Era 100 and add in the One but cannot add in the remaining system. I can using the app but it doesn't group everything whenever I use the turntable.I want to use the Beam and stereo One's for watching the TV and then automatically use all speakers when playing vinyl, is that possible?Previously I was using a Connect box via line in to the turntable but it was a bit hit and miss although did auto play and use all the speakers but not every time. 

Hi my sub has stopped working. It’s a gen 3. Model s26. S/n [redacted]pin. 037-52-006is it’s still under warranty ? If not could it be fixed  Moderator Edit: Serial Number recorded and removed

I know this question has been asked before, but I can only find older posts, and I’m hoping there has been a more recent update to the system that might allow this. I have a turntable connected to a Sonos Amp and listen to vinyl on wired and SONOS speakers (ones, ERA 100’s, and Beam gen 2 + Sub Mini) throughout the house. Now I’d like to listen through wireless headphones, too. But on first look, it appears this is not possible through the Sonos Ace Headphones? I’d like to be wrong. Can anyone help with how to connect decent headphones (Sonos or something else) to a system like this? Thanks. 

It’s clear the direction of travel for the app is cloud check-ins before providing local services. Why else would we have to close - reopen the app constantly when in decent WiFi range?as a customer of some duration at this point I have been debating whether I’ll add/upgrade and I’ve not pulled the trigger. Reasons? I no longer trust Sonos. It’s been a long time since this mess of an app was pushed on us and it’s still architecturally not customer focused. It’s all about subscription future for investors.  there is no positive direction of progress now just a slow attempt to fix what was broke. Can’t change volume? Crash the app. Great. You know my mum used to be able to use this stuff. Now it’s a usability disaster, and that was your thing. I have a medium sized install - but a significant cash value to me - and frankly it’s a year away from  a  pivot to another less proprietary co. oh and the fact you offer sale % off greater than the reward % and attempt to default the basket to the

I have a Sonos system with 2 Amps and two small speakers I am getting continuous dropouts. I tried to change the channel, but this is great out and I can’t change it. What can I do to fix it?

We have a very old Aiwa CX-77 stereo, for sentimental reasons SWMBO want let it go and it's currently sat doing nothing.I've had a look on the back and there are no pre-amp outputs, the only outputs are speaker connectors on the rear and large headphone output (yes it's that old).Because it has CD player and tape decks not it would be great to be able to use those too.So my question, is there any chance I can connect this to a Sonos. The CD player has a ribbon plug to connect it to the main body, however the turntable does have phono leads, so I'm figuring I could use that separately with a pre amp, but it would be really cool to get the whole thing connected (extra brownie points to play her dad's only CDs, tapes)Obviously the sound quality it's going to be brilliant with this old kit, but it would be nice to hear it.Thanks in advance

I just want to confirm there is no way to use a Sonos connect with a STR-DH190 to play records without the annoying delay. There needs to be a way to keep the integrated Phono amp operating at the same time you have it set the amp set to input 4 as far as I can tell. Not a total dealbreaker. Just checking. 

We have 4 Sonos amps connected to Bose in ceiling speakers that play in 4 different rooms. The Sonos amps are located in a cupboard upstairs. The TV is downstairs and is connected to a Beam. We also have a spare Sonos amp which we have still sitting in its box and 2 Sonos One SL speakers. I would like to add a turntable. How do I do this please.Just connect the spare amp to the existing Sonos system and use line in to connect the turntable?

Can I sync a Bluetooth turntable to an Era100 speaker?

HeyI’m using a Analogis easy phono amplfier to connect my Sonis Five and One and my Essential record player. It doesn’t really seem to connect welk: a lot of surface noise and silent and low quality. Can anybody help?

Good afternoon all I have a Project Debut Carbon connected through a preamp to a Connect line inEvery 5 seconds or so, the music skips, same time elapses each skipI have tried another brand new turntable and it does the same thingThis must be a Sonos think, but it only happens when using ther line in sourceDoes anybody have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? 

I have a Pro-ject turntable connected to an Era100 stereo pair + Sub mini via the OEM Sonos USB adapter. Audio is passed from the turntable to my setup just fine. The problem: the setting for Line In Source Level no longer has any effect - I can change it from Level 1 → Level 10 with no audible effect. Also, if I change it to anything other than Level 1, if I quit the app then reopen it, the Source Level is back on Level 1. No other Level settings “sticks”. Prior to this, I was using the same turntable and adapter to connect to a Move 2 (months ago). The Source Level control worked just fine then (I had to keep it set to Level 7). Now, several app updates and firmware updates later, it’s not working - I’m not sure when it stopped working.A few people are reporting the same issue on Reddit. Is this a known issue?

We have an older Sonos One system. It works well for streaming, but we have a number of records we’d like to play. At this point, we have not purchased a turntable, so are open to suggestions.As we have Ones, there’s no way to use wired or Bluetooth connections. Is there a way to use one of our computers to act as an intermediary between a WiFi turntable and our Sonos Ones?

When I try to connect my Zen Mini music server to Sonos, I keep getting the error ‘Unable to connect to Zen Mini computer’.  This has started happening after updating the Innuos software,  And I have some internet traffic that connecting music servers is difficult with the Sonos S1 app, but I’m unable to upgrade this because my Sonos hardware (Connect Amp) is incompatible with S.  Anybody know any workaround solutions?

I am completely new to Sonos but I’ve just moved into a property which has a Sonos system installed.  I believe it’s quite an old system.There are several speakers in various rooms in the property and it seems they are all wired to a hub.The hub consists of  2 x SS30 3 Way Speaker Switch which seems connected to a Sonos Amp.  The bottom of the Amp has this  Model:  CONNECT: AMPI have zero idea how I’m supposed to use this and would love some advice.Do I connect with Bluetooth and a Sonos App?  Can I stream music from my phone (spotify) or is my system so old that I have to attach an actual music player (for example a CD player)?Is this system worth keeping?Thank you in advance for any advice.
