Sonos era 100 bluetooth connection to turntable

Hey everyone!

 

I’m having some troubles with my Sonos era 100 and my bluetooth capable turntable a Teac TN-180. 
I have these two devices for a little more then a month now and had no issues pairing them and play my vinyls over BT. 
But from today the two devices are connected and there’s no sound from the era when the disc is playing. 
I tried to unpair and re-pair the devices countless times, and I also performed a reset on the era, with no luck. 
The funny thing is that both are working while paired with other devices, I tried the era with my iPhone and the turntable with a pair of Sony headphones. 
 

Any idea about what else I could try? Really don’t want to get a line-in adapter since I bought the era 100 and this turntable so that they could work over BT.

    Hi @mildlyinappropriate et al

    Thank you all for your feedback on this, we greatly appreciate it. We understand that you are eagerly waiting for this to get fixed, and while we can't give an exact date, we can share that we have narrowed down the issue and internal teams are currently testing a possible solution.

    To set the correct expectation for everyone: There will not be a fix released before the year end, since more testing needs to be done to make sure the fix actually works.

    While we don't have more information right now, we will of course share any news, in the main related thread linked below, once we do.

      I have just purchased an Era 100 after reading hundreds of reviews telling me how great it sounds. It does sound great to be fair. However, the main reason I went for this is so I can connect my Sony BT Turntable to it after years of using amazon speakers without any connectivity issues. To my suprise I cannot connect to my new Sonos Era 100 speaker via BT. This is massively disappointing and not what I expected. Now I either have to send it back or go out and buy adaptors at an additional cost to make it work. Extremely frustrating and not great. Gutted to be honest. Might have to return and go for a Bose or back to Amazon products.

      Your Bluetooth turntable should connect to Era 100 fine. Follow the directions to pair it.

      That’s what I ended doing in the end, sadly. I returned the era and changed my entire sonos system for something else that provides more connection options. Main factor in this decision was to not have to deal with future software updates that could potentially break core features like bluetooth connectivity.

      There is a current problem with certain turntable models (mostly Sony) and the Bluetooth connection with the Era speakers. They pair via Bluetooth but there is no audio. Sonos is aware of the problem and is working on a fix:

        Done all that. It pairs perfectly fine. Just no sound. The issue hundreds of others are having.

        I’m guessing you perhaps missed the link mentioned above? Here is the response from Sonos Staff…

        It appears that the Sonos engineers are currently working on and testing a fix for some BT profile connections. See the link for further information.
