Hello. I can't seem to connect the line-in connected to my Port to play from my speakers in the living room (Allrum). It only seems to play to the Port itself but I want to make it play from the speakers. Ive tried pressing the line-in from "Your Sources" but nothing happens, it only wants to play from the "Port" room.

 

I'm pretty new to this so maybe im missing something obvious but I've tried most possible solutions and tried look through the line-in settings in the app. The user manual doesn't really give any help. Any help would be much appreciated!

Solved it! I tried updating them earlier but something might've happened in between that and me reinstalling the Port. I updated again and now it works. Thank you for the help!

If I understand right you want the music coming through port to play on the Allrum(?) 

Have you tried the Output selector (the icon next to the stop button in your 2nd screenshot) to group the port and Allrum? 

Search this guide for Output selector:

You understand correctly! I've tried the solution you suggested but I'm just met with an error message saying "Couldn't connect. Try again later." 

I've tried restarting everything and resetting the port. The speakers work fine when streaming from Spotify so I'm getting pretty lost at this point.

Have they worked before?

In the old days, rebooting the router and then unplugging and replugging the Sonos devices fixed that. 
Another option is to check that the port and Allrum device have the same firmware. In system settings, check updates manually if not already: https://support.sonos.com/en/article/update-your-sonos-speakers
