Connecting old hifi components to Sonos (via Port?)

I am about to ressurect my old hifi system (turntable, CD player, amplifier, passive speakers) in one of my rooms. I have Sonos components in the other rooms of the house. I’d like to be able to:continue to play music from my turntable and CD player through my old amplifier and speakers stream music from Sonos to my old amplifier and speakers send music from my turntable and CD player to the Sonos components in other roomsThe amplifier (Mission Cyrus 1) has inputs: phono, CD player, aux, video, tape; and a tape output.Reading around, I think what I need to buy is a Sonos Port, and connect it as follows:Leave turntable and CD player, and passive speakers, connected to amplifier as before Connect Port IN to amplifier tape out Connect Port OUT to amplifier tape inputI then select tape input on the amplifier if I want to stream through my old amplifier and speakers. To send music from turntable or CD player to my other Sonos components, I select the appropriate input on my amplifier, selec

New Rumoured Sonos Device

In response to users' complaints that alarm features are missing from the new APP, it's rumored a new device will possibly be released shortly.  Here's an image of what it may look like.  No other details are presently known.

New app actually has promise

I now have the new app  i quire like the interface and it is not "laggy". Ideally So os should have waited until sleep timer, alarms and music library index were properly integrated. Puzzling to understand their thinking - bad PR is Bad PR. I have one music service not working but I do believe this is a step forward.

New app sucks

The new update for the Sonos app sucks!  The old one worked just fine.  Can’t believe someone would actually think this is an improvement.  Feels like you went backwards 10 years!  Why would you do this?  The app/user interface is the primary user facing point of contact with the people paying for your product and you completely screwed it up!  What were you thinking????

Sonos App doesn't find existing system.

Hi there, I am so fed up with your buggy systems I can't even describe the level of frustration. I am using the latest version of the app on Android as of now and for no apparent reason the app does not recognize the set up system anymore (my wife's phone and app does and works no problem). I tried to reconnect to the system but says it doesn't find any devices on the network (which obviously isn't true - see screenshot) I am sitting next to a Sonos One and following instructions on how to reconnect pressing button on the back - but no doesn't find the system sitting right next to it. I don't want to go through the process of reinstalling the app and setting up the whole system again for the x time - it costs half an hour each time and at the price of your products we should be able to expect that you can employee at least one software engineer and one app developer that can create a better experience than a 10 year old hobby programmer with the attention span of a humming bird could.

Fully untested Sonos App Version for the market

What the hell was released here for an untested app version from the Sonos Management. It's hard to believe that a company like Sonos can release such a bull shift. You can always argue about user-friendliness, but it is unimaginable that central functionalities do not work and have been forgotten.Some of the managers should urgently look for a new job because they are not worth a single penny and they are destroying a company's reputation for sure.I am very disappointed and completely dismayed that something like this is even possible in this current time.Actually, after the enormous feedback from loyal customers, I would have expected that Sonos would immediately offer a roll back to the old, working version.But here too the management has completely failed and doesn't care about the frustrations and complaints of their customers.I think this company should not be considered in the future.

Can Sonos please comment on the next steps in restoring Major features from the previous version? At least we can decide if we keep our Sonos gear or buy another brand. I am a Sonos customer the past 15 year, I have some expectations. Thank you for taking this seriously. Guido.

Sonance outdoor speaker Keep blowing

I have a sonos amp connected to Sonance outdoor speakers.  The speakers have both stopped working (only the tweater is working on each speaker). This is the second time in two years that the sonance speakers stopped working.   1. I have reset the amp2. Checked wiring3. Had sonos customer service perform diagnostics over the phone (listening to speaker).  He said the amp is working properly, this is a speaker issue.4.  I talked to Sonance customer service.  He said that the speakers are definitely blown.  He said this is NOT a common problem they see (and they put tons of them in marine environments).  He said that he thinks this is a sonos amp problem and while sonos amps can over power these speakers, properly functioning ones should not.  So, below is a review of my system. The outside zone consists of one sonos amp powered through a surge protector, 30 feet of 16-4AWG, Oxygen free, CL3 and burial rated wire to each speaker with only the black and red leads connected. The speakers ar

Sonos is forcing people to buy new hardware as they've broken the Connect:Amp and they refuse to fix it

Hi, I'm recreating this thread, as the discussion wasn't finished, but it was locked. I also wanted to make it obvious this is a Sonos issue, not a client environment issue. https://en.community.sonos.com/components-and-architectural-228999/connect-amp-keeps-dropping-out-audio-6885634/index2.html I've been following this for a while because I've been having the same issues, and when I spoke to support they said the connect amp can't cope with modern software and that I should upgrade to the amp, which is clearly unacceptable. This has been confirmed by people in that original thread who have been told the same thing. BillJanzen“FWIW, these issues seem to have occured after the June 2023 software update to S2 version 15.5. Interestingly, there is an alert posted in the release notes of the 15.6 update released July 25, 2023 about adjusting how older Sonos products use their internal memory. See below (copied from https://support.sonos.com/en-ca/article/release-notes-for-sonos-s2):  Aler

Is there a product enhancement roadmap - why should i invest more in the product if i cant see the future?

Have just spent many thousands of dollars on a full home SONOS setup?Many said it was simpler and easier… however is it better ?  Multiple ARCs , AMPs , Subs and 8 pairs of high end 8 inch speakers. I have kept my previous full multi-room, multi-source home audio solution. The best thing i did was not to throw it out.Have managed to setup the two side by side throughout the house, the sound quality of the SONOS when trying to drive the new speakers is noticeably poorer compared to the previous 10 year old solution i was looking to replace/upgrade.So the question begs with a software driven solution. When will you be upgrading and improving? This is after all one of the main advantaged of been software and app driven. Should I continue to invest in the product suite…. your call !

In-Ceiling Speaker Placement

Hello, I have a new single story ranch home that I want to equip with in ceiling Sonos speakers. Looking for some guidance on 6” or 8” and what is the optimal number of speakers + placement in order to cover the living room, kitchen area, sunroom, and all 3 bedrooms.  For the living room I already have Sonos Arc, sub, and 2 One SLs (might need to move these to another room for lack of where to place cleanly without cables showing).I appreciate all suggestions!

In-Ceiling Speakers - No amp

Does SONOS have in-ceiling speakers that connect wirelessly and can be paired?  Would be easier than trying to run cable from the ceiling location back to an amp over 40’ away.  This would need a local AC supply to keep it charged in the ceiling, but I can’t seem to find a product like this on the website.

Sub & Amp set up

I have a Sonus sound bar linked to the Arc on the TV.I have now got a Sonus Amp which needs adding to the system and the amp is going power the rear surround speakers.A few questions.What is the best way to wire the sound bar and the Amp? TV only has 1 x ArC connection? (I can get HDMI to both the sound bar and the Amp.)Once the above is confirmed is it a case of configuring the system on the Amp?Regards,Tony
