I can’t seem to find any articles on the internet that shows me how I can use my current Sonos sound system as my everyday playback sound system for my PC to watch Netflix or Youtube with. Can anyone help me in that regard? Many thanks!

SONOS is not designed to be a computer speaker, but you can use the SONOS Desktop Controller to control your SONOS system.

If you want to use SONOS as a computer speaker (not recommended) you could connect your computer’s audio output to a SONOS Line-In. I doubt that you will feel that this is adequate for gaming.

I have not tried this, but some claim that Windows can stream Airplay 2. If this is the case, you could stream PC output through a SONOS unit that supports Airplay 2.
