I just did it wirelessly in less than five minutes and $0. Note this is only for Windows, and has a several-second delay, so it won't hel...

Question

I have connected my numark ttusb to my SonoS Amp but no sound when I play a disk. Do I need to change settings if yes where, or just put on a disk and it should give sound? The Numark should have a preamplifier (it says so) do I need an external preamplifier?

Does it matter which way I lay the Sub down?
Question

So I laid my sub horizontally a while back. I laid it with the logo facing down (same as the picture in the quick start guide). Now, after reading the manual it says that the Sonos logo should be facing up. Does this really matter or is it purely cosmetic? I don’t want to damage internal components...

spotify

I have had Sonos for 5 years, and I use Spotify on Sonos. I have always turned on music on Sonos from Spotify, instead of using the app. For 6 months this has not worked as normal. On spotify the system can’t find any of our 8 Sonos speakers, and for us it is easier to play music through Spotify.
