I just got a Sonos Ace and I’m trying to use it with my DAC but the supplied 3.5mm cable is too short. Any of you find a third party usb-c to 3.5mm cable that works with the Ace? Or even a usb-c to 3.5mm dongle/adapter that work with the Ace? I’ve tried two different third party usb-c to 3.5mm cables and doesn’t seem to work.
Thank you
I needed an extension cable so that I could comfortably use the Sonos Ace with my PC using Line-in rather than Bluetooth.
I purchased from Amazon the following and it worked straight out of the box:
“Headphone Extension Cable, tunghey 3.5 AUX Extension Cable Male to Female 3.5mm Stereo Audio Extension Cable Aux Jack Extender Double Shielded Braided Long 1/8 TRS aux Cord Extender (2m) Sold by: tunghey”
This was despite the warning in the Sonos Ace User Guide that:
“USB-C to 3.5 mm cable cable (included). Useful for in-flight entertainment and devices without wireless capabilities.
Note: Not compatible with third party cables.”
The Sonos In-Line Adapter seems to work with the Ace. This is the adapter that’s advertised as compatible with Era 100/300, and move. The adapter is plugged into the Ace headphones usbc port, then adapter connected with a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable to the DAC.
Sonos support couldn’t even point this out and I’d had to take a gamble and try the adapter.
You can extend the analog end of the cable without much risk.
As far as I know, if you use a usb-c to usb-c connection, you honestly shouldn't need the DAC, especially if you're plugging it into a PC!
Oh sorry guys. The link goes to an Amazon page with an extension cord.
it’s not even a sponsored link. lol.
cheers!

This worked for me too, just extending from PC speaker using an old cheap 3.5mm extender lead with the ace’s cable plugged into that worked fine.
Why do audio product manufacturers always give you short leads? I got a 65” TV that came with the ultra thin 10 metre cable supplying power/audio/video near invisible, allowing TV on wall without needing to hide cables behind a wall. Soundbar came with a 1metre power cable to a power adapter with another 1meter cable that doesn’t lie straight as it is rigid and folded up in the box, Just a mess compared to the TV cable which is near invisible.
Iffy or ugly links can be a real problem.
This will expose the real link destination: https://www.urlexpander.net/
When posting a link that is long and ugly you can often trim off a lot of the tracking information so you aren’t giving folks a link they don’t want to click.
So this link:
When stripped of the tracking info becomes: (all that follows the first ?)
