After several minutes of OK playout from my turntable via an analog pre-amp and Sonos Amp line-in, the sound stops and the line-in source disappears from the panel of choices. Has anyone fixed this problem?

Hello there @tvb9449, thanks for the update and for sending a diagnostic report on your Sonos system, upon checking, the Sonos connect amp shows offline. Kindly try to power cycle or reboot it, unplug it from the power source for 1-2 minutes, and replug it back in. Let me know what is the pattern of the led lights on the connect Amp after doing the reboot. You may resubmit a diagnostic report afterward for us to check for any difference.

Hi Simon B, reset the Connect Amp by unplugging for 2 minutes. Plugged back in and white LED went on and off (and continues to do so 5+ minutes after reboot).

Here’s the new diagnostic # 13210323

Thanks for your help!

Hi Simon B, this has become even more frustrating. I called phone support and we were able to get the Connect Amp back online but only briefly. It dropped off (and the Sonos 3 speakers are in the same room, maybe ten feet from the Connect Amp), and now refuses to be seen in trying to add a new product. Does this mean I have a defective Connect Amp and need to return it for a replacement? Thanks

Hi @tvb9449, thanks for the update. Sorry to hear about what happened with the connect amp. What did they advise you after it was not able to reconnect to your system? What options did they give you?

The call disconnected and she did not call back after saying it seems to be an issue with the connect amp and I should continue trying to unplug it and set it up anew. Not much of a solution! I have tried 3x since with no luck. Is it possible to return my connect amp for a replacement?
