I have some old Sonos speakers that have been gathering dust for a while.

I decided to sell them because they still have some value but I don't really want them, especially with what the company has done recently.

However, I wanted to set them up again to make sure they work. I spent hours trying to get them to set up again with no luck. I'm sure this is exactly what other users are experiencing. The old app was so nice and reliable. I don't have an opinion on the new app because I just literally can't get it to connect.

And I know they're not dead. One has an audio-in jack and still plays. It works great. There's no reason any of them shouldn't be fine. The only thing that changed was the app. I just want to get them set up so I can sell them on Marketplace for a good price as fully working.

Old Sonos hardware works great with Roon.

I am very annoyed at the planned obsolescence that Sonos has been pushing for a while now. I stopped buying new Sonos hardware, I'm still using all my old hardware, just not with the terrible Sonos apps, but with Roon.

I also took to aggressively repairing very old hardware that was actually failing (ZP80 players), because of the Sonos planned obsolescence policy. Recapping the PSU did the job, and I intend to keep them going for as long as I possibly can.

Wtf, their pricing model is almost as bad as the planned obsolescence. $15 a month just to connect your hardware? Ridiculous.

It's insane to think of the collective number of hours wasted on this.

Yet people will still buy Sonos!

Are there any alternatives (for multi-speaker synced audio) since the Chromecast Audio was discontinued?
