Sonos Line-In

Question

I got the Sonos Line-In, USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. I wanted to use it as a normal adapter with my other audio equipment, as my phone lacks a 3.5mm port. Is it not supported (which would be kinda annoying), or is it a fault on my end?

The Line-In would be used with an RCA (pluged in to the speaker) to AUX cable. Where it would act as a 3.5mm port, as I only have USB-C input to my phone.

Thanks

The Sonos adapter is analog (in) to digital (out). It appears you wish to use it as a digital (in) to analog (out), so you can connect analog headphones to your phone. It can’t be used this way. You can get a generic digital (in) to analog (out) adapter on Amazon, there are hundreds of them.

Not sure I understand your request.You purchased a 3.5mm to USC-C adapter from Sonos, which transforms an analog signal to USB-C digital input.After that, you’ve unfortunately lost me. You talk about an RCA connection to a speaker, I don’t know of any Sonos speaker that supports such a thing.As long as the adapter is receiving a line level analog input via the 3.5 mm jack, it would be changing that to a USB-C digital output that then goes to the Sonos system. You should be able, using correct cables, to connect anything using a line level output to that adapter.What have I misunderstood?
