Aux In for Sonos Roam

Can Sonos Roam have wired audio in? I assume it can, via its USB-C port and a 3.5 audio jack to USB-C adapter. The same way as smartphones, essentially.

It should just be some software business.

    Not all nic chipset works, but some of them do, and i bet the usb-c is just a normal cominucation port without power delivery

     

    Except we know it has power delivery, because you can power the Roam via the USB connection.

      Thats charging, power delivery is power the devices via the usb port,

      that is what it don't do ,

      sonos is pretty smart by using ancient hardware,

      because connecting a nic on usb-c on sonos it have to be rtl8125 if im correct,

       

      the once that work so far on my era100 and most likely roams to are

      Amazon Basics

      Jsaux HB0603

      Tccmebius TCC-S20C

       

      the once that dont work

      Anker 556

      Ugreen 15727

      Tccmebius TCC-S30C

      Jsaux HB1201

       

      i can not test the non powered nics on the roams since i have no breakout usb-c cable to externally power the nics,

       

      but yeah sonos support is verry limited, witch is sad, 

      i had to go eth because no mather what the wifi is to disturbed here even if i place my sonos 20 cm aside the wifi ap it still cutout on stereo mode, the sonos wifi generally is the worst kind i have ever faced for a premium pricetag, it might do well on places where nor many people live but not in a flat of 13x5 households, sonos is realy wonky although it do sound ok ,

       

      i myself got a sub g3, 2 roams 2 era100, if the roams could act as back speakers it would be great for quadrophonic, what we used in the 90’s what now is called 4.0ch,

       

      4.1 would be nice to since i don't care for center speakers

       

      i myself have serval hubs and docks, so i always try various stuff, 

       

      and maby roams also have aux in , but the problem is where do we find a powered aux in adapter, they don't exists,
