In my home office, I have 2 Rays. One is attached to my Gaming/Entertainment PC and this Ray is paired with 2 Ones and a Sub. Sounds great. I attached my second Ray to my work laptop so that I have better sound during zoom conferences. This works very well with the addition of an analog-to-digital converter between my headphone out and Ray. So both Rays work well. Here is my question: Is there any way to connect my work laptop Ray to the Ones and Sub in the same office?

Pair 2 Rays in the same room with existing Rears and a Sub

Good idea. I’ll try this-- grouping the two Ray rooms (that are actually a single room) together. This solution means that both Rays would be operating at the same time rather than one at a time each with the Surrounds. But maybe having both Rays running simultaneously will sound OK. I suppose the question is whether there will be noticeable latency coming across as echo between the two Ray sound bars. Thanks for the creative solution.

You would need to unbond the surrounds/Sub from the Ray, to then bond them to your laptop Ray - which is a bit of hassle (to say the least) - However, have you tried grouping the two Ray (rooms) instead (assuming they are running within the same Sonos Household) and adjusting the Music Audio playback to ‘Full’ and adjusting their ‘TV level’ and ‘TV Dialog Sync’ slider controls in the Ray’s room settings, depending on the type of audio (Music/TV audio) you are listening to?
I think perhaps playing around with the TV/surround audio settings in the Ray’s room settings in the Sonos App might perhaps work for you, particularly with ‘grouped’ stereo music playback.
I would just have a play with the available Sonos tools and see what you can achieve through ‘grouping’ the two Rays together.
