Ipod nano not playing via headphone jack/wire

Hi all, I have attempted to play music from my iPod nano via the headphone wire into the back of a Play 5. The iPod is working, but does not play through the speaker. Any advice?

    In the Sonos app, making sure the Play:5 is set to play the line in source. Unless you have it set to autoplay, it won't play by default.

    Thanks for the reply, where in the app do I find this option?

    Hi, Kamllk. It will be presented in the music sources menu, if a Line-In device is detected. If it is not, you may wish to try a different cable. Let us know how this goes.

    Hmmm, thanks for the reply. A line in option does show up when I browse, but nothing plays from my iPod. The equalizer bars are moving on the app, but there is no sound coming out of the speaker. The cable works on a different bluetooth speaker. Is there another setting I am missing?

    I suspect it's the line-in settings. You may want to refer to:
