the volume sounds too low, you can choose a higher line level. (You may experience clipping at higher
volume levels if you set the level too high.)

Line-in encoding settings

When you have line-in music sources attached to a Sonos product, line-in encoding determines how Sonos
will encode the data coming in from these sources. Your Sonos system defaults to automatic in order to
provide the optimal playback experience. Sonos recommends you do not change this default. However, if you
decide to make a change, we recommend the following usage guidelines:
Use Uncompressed if:
• You want optimal performance with home theaters.
• You want to produce the highest quality sound for your Sonos system (this selection requires more
network bandwidth than compressed audio.)
Use Compressed if:
• You are connecting more than 4 rooms wirelessly.
• You are in an environment with heavy wireless interference and are experiencing dropouts.
To change the line-in encoding setting, select one of the following options:
• Using the Sonos app on a mobile device: From the Settings menu, select Advanced Settings -> Audio
Compression.
• Using the Sonos app on a PC: Select Manage -> Settings -> Advanced.
• Using the Sonos app on a Mac: Select Sonos -> Preferences -> Advanced.
