Daft question - turntable plugged in via aux - works fine but volume is definitely lower than playing direct via App etc.

is this because it’s aux input or maybe the power output is not high on the turntable

a relatively cheap audio technica type I have add a few years.

or is that normal

You likely need to add an inexpensive pre-amp between the turntable and the Sonos. The turntable puts out what is called a ‘phono’ output level, Sonos is looking for what is called ‘line level’, which is what most everything else puts out (CD, tape, etc).
