I have a Pioneer PL-990 turntable and just purchased Era 100 to use with it. The turntable comes pre-wired with RCA and I just got an RCA to USB-c connector on Amazon (didn’t get the line in from Sonos because that one only works with a single, not double RCA).
The speaker is set up and active in the app, but the line in settings are grayed out. What am I doing wrong? The music isn’t flowing through the speaker, when I turn the turntable on.

I’d get an RCA to 3.5 mm stereo cable, and connect that to the Sonos adapter, if you still want stereo.
That connector doesn't work, none of the generic ones do. You need to purchase the Sonos connector and an RCA to 3.5 mm stereo cable. Also, if the turntable does not have a built-in phono preamp, you will need an external phono preamp.

This turntable has a built in pre-amp.
The RCA to 3.5 mm cable won’t work with this turntable, it already has a cable built in (photo 1, red and white connectors), so I had to get a usb-c to dual rca stereo connector (photo 2) to connect the turntable to Era 100.
How would I utilize the Sonos line in adapter? Do I get something like this to then connect it to the line in adapter? See link.

I suspect that your USB cable transfers the wrong way. It takes a USB signal, and outputs an RCA signal. Sonos requires the other option, taking an analog signal, and turning it into a USB C signal, something relatively rare, but the Sonos adapter does that.
Ah, maybe. Would getting a dual to single RCA cable and then connecting it to the Sonos line in adapter solve for this?
