Time Delay

Analog line in ports on Sonos have at least 75msec and maximum 2,000msec. It sounds like the delay you are experiencing is much greater than that. When the music starts to play, do you hear it from the beginning or midway through the song? If you are running the Port over WiFi, you may want to try wiring it to your router.

It’s at whatever point the needle is at so it’s not like it’s taking that long to actually start from the beginning. Funnily enough I did try direct to the router but ended up where I couldn’t control the volume. I find the whole thing extremely’fussy’

Right so I’ve connected direct to the router and the time delay has gone but every few minutes the playback stops for a second or so. Time delay is set at max 2000ms

What speaker/device are you listening to the turntable on? How far is that device away from the Port or other Sonos device?

I have a beam and two SL’s. The turntable is right next to the port, they are about 4m from the beam

As an experiment, you could wire the Beam to your router. With the Port and Beam both wired, you should not see any drops.

Thank you. I think I might just have to live with it. That job would require a very long cable or a lot of disconnecting and shuffling
