Sonos Port Connectivity to Turntable

I bought a Sonos Port that arrived yesterday (Feb 25), after a bit of messing around I managed to get it working with the remainder of my system (Kitchen Beam, Lounge Beam + 2xEra100 + Mini Sub) and hooked up to my Yamaha Rx-A670 Receiver (& Monitor Audio Speakers) so I can successfully stream music from Sonos App and Apple Music on my iPhone/iPads and multi room across the 3 zones.


However the main reason I bought the Port was to hook up to my Pro-Ject RPM 1 Genie Turntable (through a Pro-Ject Phono Box II) such that I can stream my vinyl to the Kitchen and/or Lounge Sonos speakers.

This simply is not working, I can neither broadcast through port (haven’t even got to working out how to do that) or pass through the port to my Yamaha Amp. 
 

I have spent 4 hours on Sonos Chat and two 0800 calls so far (both of which were cut off by the agent without resolving) I have sent diagnostics and I’ve swapped all the cables out, strangely the exact same cables work absolutely fine when I plug straight into my amplifier.

 

i have also tried my Cyrus CD6 CD player as the source to eliminate the phono/phono stage as the issue - also to no avail, and I’ve tried multiple different inputs to the Amp.

 

About to wait another 40 minutes to try for a 3rd time to get help on 0800, and crafting a ‘hacked off from Birmigham’ mail to Tom Conrad

 

But first asking for help on here PLEASE

You need to connect the turntable to the phono stage in, and the phono stage out to the Line In on the Port.  Then in the Sonos app, you need to choose the room you wish to play the Line-In source, and then select “Line-In” from the sources screen (you may have to scroll down to find it). 

As an alternative, you can set Autoplay to On in the Line-In settings for the Port, and choose the Default Autoplay Room to play in.  That way, when the Port senses audio on the Line-In, it will automatically play it to the default room.

Thank you, auto play sorted it, why Sonos couldn’t tell me that I don’t know - appreciate it

It’s probably not in the script.  Depending on who picks up the call, users often know far more than the first tier of support, which is why this place exists.
