No, the line in stays on if the internet goes away. I would be guessing that your phone stopped playback of whatever source you were playing...

bose lifestyle turn in automatically

I have Sonos everywhere in the house and one room has an old Bose lifestyle surround sound system with 5 speakers and sub. I have a Sonos port and if I turn the Bose on, change to the right input, I can play Sonos.  but it’s the only room in the house that doesn’t just turn on. I have to go into the room and turn on the Bose system first with the remote, wait for it to boot up, then switch the input.  it’s a hassle. Anyone know of a better way if I keep the Bose?

No sound coming out of sonos Era300 when connected to Sony PS-LX310BT Turntable via bluetooth

I have a Sonos system, Era300 and Era100 speakers, and I have a Sony LX310BT vinyl turntable.Everything was working perfectly for a few days: the vinyl player and the Sonos Era300 speaker are perfectly connected via Bluetooth with a steady blue light.However, for the past few days, no sound is coming out of the speaker when I try to connect it to either the Era300 or Era100.I tested my turntable on a Bluetooth Marshall speaker, and it works.I connected my phone via Bluetooth to the speakers using Apple Music, and there is sound.I've tried to troubleshoot the issue from every angle, but I can't find a solution. I don't know why, overnight, no sound is coming out.I have done the lastest update. Problem remains…Has there been a Sonos firmware update? thx!

Sonos amp, 4 x Linn Komponent 104 bookshelfs and Sonos Sub

Hi, I like to try and run 4 x Linn Komponent 104 speakers and a Sonos sub from my Sonos AmpThe nominal impedance of the Linns is 6 ohms so I appreciate the answer is probably “No”, just wondered if I set the crossover frequency to, say 90Hz to remove the low frequency duties, i might get away with this?I’ve been running 2 x Linn 104s in another room and they do sound great, but the new room I’m configuring is 30 x 16ft with an 18ft ceiling so will take a lot of filling!ThanksChris

Power consumption - Power off / Deep Standby Request

Hi, I saw year old threads, with this topic. All have been closed. I’d like to bring it up again with a couple of questions and requests for discussion.I have two sites with Sonos speakers for serveral years. Extended over time, it’s a total of 24 speakers now. Given the rising energy prices (announcement from provider: 0,45 € cents with next increase), idle power consumption becomes more and more an issue. Play 1 consumes 3 W. Sub, Playbar and some older Play 5 considerably more. It sums up:3W * 24h * 365days = 26,2 kWh * 24 speakers = 630 kWh * € 0.45 = € 280/year.Just for keeping them in standby. I could buy a Play 1 per year for these totally unnecessary costs. My workaround: I power them all off with Wifi-Plugs (0,5 W each). Power on/off with some smart home event. One plug controls several speakers in a room, so power consumption is considerably less. When powered on, an IFTTT applet sets volume, groups speakers and plays a favorite. (With a 2 min delay for booting).Question: Any

It’s worth in 2024 or has Sonos in plans to release a Gen2 in the future?I think Center channel, eARC, Trueplay, etc… What do you think?  Moderator edit: changed plane to plans for clarity

Sonos sonance speakers with connect:amp

I have a spare connect:amo and am planning to use it to power some ceiling speakers in a bathroom (they will be the only speakers in the bathroom). Will the sonos sonance speakers work ok with the connect:amp? I believe I won’t be able to use trueplay with the connect:amp - how much does this matter with the sonance speakers. Would it make a huge big to upgrade from connect:amp to amp (an expence I would prefer to avoid if there is not much difference. Any replies/advice gratefully received.

Sonos Ceiling & 5.1

Hi everyone, Looking for some help confirming whether I can achieve a setup that might work well, or not! We recently renovated and I put 4 Sonos ceiling speakers in the open plan kitchen. We have a TV at one end and a corner sofa, and 2 of the 4 ceiling speakers are above and just behind the sofa.  Can I use 2 of the 4 to make up a 5.1 setup with a sub and soundbar with the TV? Would there be any issues or trade offs doing this, if it is possible? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

DJing with Sonos (yet another topic)

Hello,I've been using Sonos for some time around the house but recently decided I’d like to streamline the sound where my DJ setup is. I got 2x Era 300, Sub, and ran it through Port. The idea was that I could get rid of my amp, wires, and bulky speakers. I set it up and it sounds incredible. That is until I tried to mix and learned about the built-in latency. I called support and they recommended getting the line-in adapter and going in directly without Port. That made the situation even worse. The lag is a couple of seconds at least.I’m hoping someone out there has found a solution to the lag...I really don’t want to return all the gear and start again with something else!

Removing BOOST

I’ve had my Sonos for some years now, it would appear that the BOOST is becoming unstable and is cutting off connection for seconds at a time.   I believe that I can remove BOOST from the system and connect one of the SONOS speakers direct to my Hub and then have all the Sonos products link to the wired device.   Is this a fairly simple process??

Will the next Sub gen 4 do 20Hz ?

Yes, I know Sub Gen4 won’t be out until 2025.  I just want to add my 2c that your Sub frequency range needs to go as low as 20Hz to accurately reproduce the audible frequency range of ~ 20Hz to 20KHz.  This is the only issue giving me pause about purchasing a Sub gen 3 (which only goes down to 25Hz); well, that and the static issue reported by many in other threads.  Also, the next Sub 4 needs to have a standard low-level in port, so I don’t have to add yet more subs taking up space just because I need sub-in ports.  Thank you for your consideration.

Sonosnet and Wifi issues. WM0 and WM1.

Hello all. Wondering if anyone can help.  I’ve been trying to build my perfect system for a while. I’ve been using Sonos to amplify my sound system (turntable/ tapedeck/ cd player etc) and streaming through the house. I’ve wanted to have both analogue and my Sonos system so I have upgraded my main system with a traditional integrated amp and speakers and I have just bought a port to get the signal through the house.  Hooked it all up and I have an issue. I placed my entire system on SonosNet for stability, WM0, and all worked well. I have one Roam which is on WM1 because it doesn’t do sonosnet.  Problem I have is the Port signal keeps dropping and is currently unusable. When I checked, for some reason the Port is on WM1 with the rest of the system on WM0.  I suspect that is my issue but - how do I get the Port onto SonosNet and why has it installed in this way.  Any help would be valuable.  Thank you in advance. Robin

Sub Gen 3 crossover frequency

When a sub is added to a SONOS system, does Sonos redistribute the audio power such that the soundbar and surrounds receive high passed frequencies and their speakers are therefore able to handle more mid / high frequency power in their optimum response bands?
