Works perfect with that Amazon part.  Back pre software update.    I’m very happy again

My Playbar works on the TV but will not connect to other speakers in the system to get surround sound. The Ray doesn’t even work on the other TV at all anymore. This is ridiculous.

Thanks! I can confirm that the ADC you does work for getting audio to work on the Ray.

It definitely was the most recent update. It was working fine for me until a couple of days ago when I opened the app to ungroup speakers (the only time I use it) and was forced to do the update.

I have bought in the past 2 ADC converters and only the one with PCM and a bitrate of 48khz or higher will still work with Sonos. The one with a lower bitrate wil not work anymore. This item works:

I had the same problem with a Ray connected to a Mac Studio via an usb c to optical convertor. There was an update today (79.1-54060), and it is working again as before!

Yes, can confirm, fixed for me too!

My version now: 80.03.04-release+20240618.cd11093

Will still take some time before I trust Sonos again though...

@Rudi vo 

@SmallhillCZ 

Encouraged by your seemingly good news I tried it yesterday with my Beam - but failed.

What did you do? Only using the new app version or any additional reset?

I can confirm. My Ray with USB-C adapter started working again after the latest update.

@HPU

I just installed the update on my iPhone, it took a long time, al my Sonos devices updated, and then it worked again. Make sure your Sonos devices are on version (79.1-54060). If not search for updates in the app.

Hi All

In case anyone has not tried this functionality in a while, all Sonos products should now be able to play from an optical input.

If you are still having this problem, please ensure your Sonos system is up to date: Settings icon » Manage » System Updates » Check for Updates

I hope this helps.
