I am streaming Spotify through a Connect to the aux RCA jacks on a Yamaha receiver and the output is not in stereo, verified by playing a left/right channel test track. Both channels play through both speakers at once. The test track works through headphones plugged into the phone.

A bit off topic,:but for my money forget stereo test tracks. Just play the first 20 seconds of "Beautiful Girl " by INXS. You'll see what I mean. Well you will if you are getting stereo.

I think there is a “mono” setting in the Sonos app somewhere. Is this turned on?

Thanks, no there does not seem to be a 'mono' setting in the Sonos 1 app.

Just for the purpose of elimination

What happens if you stream through a different connection on the amp, such as the CD input?
Are all connections solid?
Do you have another cable to try (if all plays fine through another input, this is obviously a redundant test)

Same story using both the tape in and aux in, yet the turntable is in stereo using phono in. I tried the sonos on another amp, same issue. I tried another cable too.

Are you playing using the Sonos app and Sonos system, or are you using the Spotify app via Spotify Connect?

Does tbe issue occur with both?

Hi John, issue occurs with both. I don't seem to have the mono/stereo toggle in S1 on the android app.
