listen audio from pc ( browser, software, movie, ecc ) to sonos amp connect with ceiling speaker.

Hi

I have install an 3.5mm to rca cable from pc to sonos amp ( sugest by sonos operator) but i can’t listen music from speaker connect to the sonos amp ( streming service from app o sonos pc software work fine).
By support we try to fix these, but unfortunaly we can’t.

Operator ask me to connect the 3.5mm jack in the mic door of pc mobo, but in the source of pc i don’t see these option, I can see just S/PDIF and High Definition Audio Device from pc mobo.
Do you think if I use an S/PDIF cable, will be work?

any solution?

Thanks at every one for the help and the time
I will link all my pc output:

I wouldn’t think so. But it depends on which signal you’re getting from the PC. If you’re using that optical port, it’s already digital, and wouldn’t work to be re-digitized by a DAC. However, if your using the analog output from the PC, such as you might with a headphone outlet, you’d probably want to skip the digitizing as an extra step, and just use the analog RCA jacks on the Amp. The challenge there, especially with a headphone jack, will always be the “level” of the output from the PC, which is variable by the volume setting on the PC’s output. If you went that route, you’d want to set the output on the PC at least to 50% to start, to ensure that enough signal is getting sent to the Sonos. 

Google Translate:
Non lo penserei. Ma dipende dal segnale che ricevi dal PC. Se stai usando quella porta ottica, è già digitale e non funzionerebbe per essere ridigitalizzata da un DAC. Tuttavia, se stai utilizzando l'uscita analogica dal PC, come potresti fare con una presa per le cuffie, probabilmente vorrai saltare la digitalizzazione come passaggio aggiuntivo e utilizzare solo i jack RCA analogici sull'amplificatore. La sfida lì, specialmente con un jack per cuffie, sarà sempre il "livello" dell'uscita dal PC, che è variabile dall'impostazione del volume sull'uscita del PC. Se hai seguito questa strada, vorresti impostare l'uscita sul PC almeno al 50% per iniziare, per assicurarti che venga inviato un segnale sufficiente a Sonos.
