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.

Great song! Still mono... :( The test track I used plays true left right stereo separation when I plug headphones into it. Weirdly, plugging the phone directly into the Connect with RCA cables also plays mono. I'm at a loss. It also did this with a new Wiim Pro which I returned before I bought the used Sonos connect. I also checked both streamers on a newer receiver vs my vintage Yamaha. Same issue. I even tried my wife and son's newer phones.
