Hello, I'm looking for advice on my whole home Sonos system (Boost ,((Amp w/ 2 sets of in-wall mounted Bose Virtually Invisible 191 speakers)),1x Play 1, 2x Play 3, 2x Play 5, Playbar on 75” Sony LED, Beam on Sony 65” LED and 1x Play 5 hooked into a Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT.) The record player is always lower than the other speakers on group play. I'm on Xfinity 2G speed internet service running about 1.8G regularly. How can hook this all up to run effectively and sound amazing. The Bose lines all run to a lower level closet where the AMP is picking both sets up, so I cannot change volume between those 2 sets. thanks

Thanks Ken. Level 5, in between airplay-4 and Mac Computer-6. Also, if I want to split the Bose up, into 2 sets of controllable speakers, I assume another amp will have to be added/purchased?
Try increasing that line-in ‘Source Level’ to a higher value and see if that aligns the TT audio output to your other sources. I have mine set to level 10 …and to answer your other question, if you want different audio to play to each of your 2 sets of Bose speakers ‘at the same time’ then yes you will need another Sonos Amp to do that, but if you want the audio (same/different) to play to just one set of speakers, or the other, then you could add a switch to do that instead, plus it’s a cheaper option. This YouTube video shows the kind of switch I mean…

So you’re just looking to raise the volume level of the Turntable to match your other audio sources, is that correct? If so, what is the current "source level” set to on the Play:5 line-in? —> ‘Settings/System/[Play:5 room name]’
