Time2Jet Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I’ve just added a new Sonos Port to my system. It’s connected to my Denon X8500H Digital Audio DVD in. DVD isn’t used anywhere else right now. It added fine. I did plug Ethernet in and it’s the only Sonos Ethernet device. Showing playing in the Sonos app, but no sound. Do I need to maybe do something in C4? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one properly configured device driver for each Sonos Time2Jet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one properly configured device driver for each Sonos Thanks Mitch - I figured as much. What do you think...do I need to use Ethernet or can I stick with wireless at The “Port”. Either way I’ll reserve. I don’t understand best practice with Sonos when it comes to ethernet, wireless & Sonosnet. So many conflicting opinions. I do not want to create network issues. Which is the best connection optical, digital or analog? I was able to get the Denon to broadcast. Had to dig for settings (there are so many).

But I will always say that. Wired over wireless 100% of the time. If its a device that doesn't move, wire it. Time2Jet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing around starting stream in master and trying to add LR Port via C4 session. It's not letting me add the LR. Thoughts on endpoints? I would think the Port is the LR Audio Endpoint 1, versus the Denon. Since the Port is what adding that room is triggering. Could be way off.

Time2Jet Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Thanks Mitch, you're the best! Now I have to figure out why I cannot start a stream in the MBR and add the LR. Just doesn't want to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
