This topic is a year old and it was dismissed as being solved. It’s not. I’m reactivating my Port after two years of retirement for all Sono equipment I own. That’s another story. I factory reset it and it updated its OS. Left channel does not work. It’s not cables or stereo equipment. A simple swap of L/R validates the source as the Port. Wassup?

It sounds like a failure of one channel of the analog output stage is what’s up. It sometimes happens. I suggest you connect a budget DAC to the digital output.

Thank you. That sounds like exactly what it is (unfortunately). A review of past posts seemed to indicate the problem was more widespread than a one-off device malfunction. Several folks pegged it to a (then) recent update. Before adding this device to my Sonos graveyard (> 50% attrition) I was hoping to find a software/firmware solution. Thank you for responding.

No need to consign the device to any graveyard if you simply add a cheap DAC.
