Hey all,

 

I have a new Sonos era 100 that I am trying to use as a pc speaker via line in. I purchased the sonos usb-c to 3.5mm line in adapter and a 3.5mm cables to my pc’s line out port. The pc does recognize the port, the sonos era has been set to line in and fully updated, however no sound just a buzzing sound. I have tried another audio cable but same result. Any clue what could be wrong? Defective unit?

 

Bluetooth works fine tho!

What is this line out on the PC? Normally speaking, you might use a headphone port, although if this line out is both stereo and line level, it should be fine. What a Sonos won’t process is a digital output, it must be analog.
