Sono Era 100 Help

Hi all,

 

Just got an era100 for line in to PC. I cant find on the App where the setting is to use line in.

I’ve done everything the website says and youtubes etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Have you checked the PC’s sound settings?

Yes it works via BT but the line out is blanked out in the app.

That indicates it’s not receiving a sound signal.  I suggest that you check the sound settings on your PC and double check the seating of the cable.

Do you have another device that could act as a temporary line in source to test?

You have the Sonos Line-In adapter connected directly to the Era 100?

In your opening post, you mention line-in to your PC … just to clarify, you need an analog audio line-out, that’s usually either a 3.5mm line-out, or an RCA (left/right) line-out to a 3.5mm male connection, which in turn links to the ‘Sonos audio adapter’ and then its USB-C connects into the port on the rear of the Era-100. At that point you should see the line-in settings in the Sonos App become available for you to adjust/play/Autoplay the audio out from your PC’s sound card.

Maybe try a completely different audio source - a mobile phone/tablet, MP3 player, CD player, BT transmitter, Turntable, echo dot, or even audio out from a TV etc. just to rule out the adapter/cables/speaker perhaps being at fault.
