Line-In not working as expected using Airplay

First thing I'd like to state is that the Airplay device works with a standard speaker connected via a jack to my Airplay Express.

I have configured a Sonos Connect called "Airplay", I have connected a Jack from airplay to RCA on the IN on the Sonos Connect. In my environment I also have 3 rooms configured, Kitchen (Sonos Connect -> Amp -> ceiling speakers), Living Room (Playbar and Play:1 x2) and Bedroom (Play3). I want to be able to play music from my iPhone over Airplay to the "Kitchen", I have configured as shown in the screenshot. However every time I close the tab to see if the config has been applied I get an exclamation mark and it doesn't work (see other screenshot). Am I missing something? Any guidance greatly appreciated.

    @DanielsUK: it sounds like you're doing everything right. Do you get the same behaviour if you try the configuration from the iOS controller instead of the PC/Mac one?

    @pwt, I tried it through IOS and the config stuck. Looks like it might be a Windows Controller Bug.

    Thank you all for your help, problem solved 🙂

    That's good. I tried with my Windows controller and settings stuck, so I doubt it is a general bug. Will remain a mystery.

    Just use my app - it's free and open source: https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect
