Chrismccc Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Hi friends, my wonderful new programmer has configured my ea-3 to output audio from the ea-3 digital coax out. I also have audio from the line out to a 8 zone amp. My intention is to feed the coax audio to a separate amp ( such as sonos connect or port). I am getting NO audio when I add the new room to my list. …just white noise. When I connected it to an old sonos amp, I could hear the audio, very faint and garbled when I turned the volume right up. I know it’s not my sonos amp, as that works perfect. The audio to the 8 zone amp works around the house, so I know it’s not the way-3. is there something I’m missing which is preventing audio simultaneously play out of the 3.5mm. And the digit coAx?

msgreenf Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Hard to say without seeing the configuration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrismccc Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 Ea-3 —> 8 zone amp via rca (works perfect) ea-3 —> standard amp via digital coax out (no audio) the programmer configured the digital out as ‘Sonos connect’ as a room alongside my kitchen, living room etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msgreenf Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 i think you want the sonos as the audio endpoint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Trying to wrap my head around this: You have a digital out from an EA3 going to ... what exactly? IS there an actual Sonos? Or is this some other (dumb) amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrismccc Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 @Cyknight. Morning the ea-3 connects directly to a Sonos connect (s2). My intention is to group that with my Sonos arc in the living room. this way I can group c4 music in kitchen (from 8 zone amp) to the Sonos arc in the living room.

mstafford388 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 If you want to feed an input on the connect and then stream that out to the other sonos devices you need to use the global line in driver. can't tell if that's what is in that picture or not.

Cyknight Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Yesy I'm only more confused now, don't think those connections are for a Sonos connect..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrismccc Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 So this works now . My programmer fixed something in the bindings. I added a digital coax (IN) to rca (out) . Fed that into the Sonos connect and boom. Now I just need to fiddle with the delay sync settings a little. Otherwise I now have c4 playing with sonos.
